How Sakai99 Protects Your Data
These cards summarise our core data protection commitments. The full legal text below contains all applicable clauses and obligations.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the Sakai99 platform is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. This applies to login, deposits, withdrawals, and all account communications.
No Sale of Personal Data
Sakai99 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate, secure, and improve your account experience on our platform.
Minimal Data Collection
We collect only the personal data necessary to provide our services, verify your identity, process payments in MYR, and comply with our licensing obligations. We do not collect data beyond what is operationally required.
Controlled Third-Party Access
Where we engage third-party service providers — such as payment processors supporting DuitNow, FPX, and Malaysian e-wallets — those providers are contractually bound to process your data only for specified, limited purposes.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. You may also object to certain processing activities. Contact our support team to exercise any of these rights without undue delay.
Defined Retention Periods
We do not retain your personal data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined by our licensing obligations and applicable law. Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data governance procedures.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by Sakai99 ("the Company", "we", "us", "our") and applies to all personal data collected through the Sakai99 platform at https://sakai99.cam and any associated mobile interfaces or applications (the "Platform").

This Policy describes the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which it is processed, the parties with whom it may be shared, and the rights available to you as a data subject.
If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, you should not use the Platform. If you have questions or concerns at any point, please contact us using the details provided in Section 15 of this Policy.
2. Definitions

- Service Delivery — to provide access to casino games, live dealer tables, sports betting markets (including Liga Super Malaysia and EPL), and all other Platform features.
- Regulatory Compliance — to fulfil obligations under our gaming licence, including anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) requirements, age verification (21+), and reporting obligations.
- Customer Support — to respond to your enquiries, process complaints, and provide multilingual support in Bahasa Melayu, Chinese, and English.
- Responsible Gambling — to monitor gaming patterns and identify accounts that may require responsible gambling interventions, including the imposition of deposit limits or self-exclusion.
- Marketing Communications — to send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and VIP programme updates where you have provided consent or where we have a legitimate interest to do so. You may opt out at any time.
- Platform Security & Improvement — to detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorised access, and to analyse usage patterns to improve the Platform's performance and user experience.
6. Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of your personal data rests on the following legal bases, applied according to the purpose of each processing activity:
- Contractual Necessity — processing required to perform the contract between you and Sakai99, including account creation, transaction processing, and service delivery.
- Legal Obligation — processing required to comply with KYC, AML, CTF, and licensing requirements applicable to Sakai99's international gaming operations.
- Legitimate Interests — processing carried out for the legitimate interests of Sakai99 or third parties, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent — where you have provided express consent, for example in relation to marketing communications or the placement of non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
7. Data Sharing & Disclosure
Sakai99 does not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipient, strictly on a need-to-know basis:
- Payment Processors — financial institutions and e-wallet operators (including those facilitating DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and Hong Leong transactions) for the purpose of executing deposits and withdrawals in MYR.
- Identity Verification Providers — third-party KYC and AML screening services that assist us in verifying player identities and monitoring for financial crime indicators.
- Game Software Providers — licensed casino and sports betting software providers whose platforms are integrated into the Sakai99 service; these providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised session data necessary for game operation.
- Regulatory Authorities — our licensing authority and, where required by law, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or courts. We will disclose personal data in response to a lawful request, order, or legal process.
- Customer Support Platforms — third-party live chat and helpdesk software providers used to deliver 24/7 multilingual support.
- Analytics Providers — platform analytics tools used in anonymised or aggregated form to understand user behaviour and improve the Platform.
8. International Data Transfers
As an internationally operated platform, Sakai99 may transfer your personal data to, or store it in, countries outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place — including standard contractual clauses or equivalent contractual protections — to maintain a level of protection consistent with our obligations under this Policy.
Where personal data is transferred to our payment processing partners for the purpose of facilitating MYR transactions, those transfers are governed by the contractual terms between Sakai99 and those payment providers, which include data protection obligations consistent with this Policy.
9. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, or as required by applicable law and our licensing obligations. The following general retention principles apply:
- Active Account Data — retained for the duration of your account and for a period thereafter as required by our gaming licence and AML compliance obligations.
- Transaction Records — financial transaction records, including MYR deposit and withdrawal histories, are retained for a minimum period as mandated by applicable financial regulations.
- KYC Documents — identity and address verification documents are retained for the period required by our licensing authority following account closure.
- Marketing Consent Records — records of your marketing preferences and consent are retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable rules.
- Support Communications — customer support records are retained for a defined period to assist with dispute resolution and quality assurance.
Upon expiry of the relevant retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where anonymisation is not possible, data is maintained in a form that prevents identification of the individual.
10. Security Measures
Sakai99 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and the Platform.

- Role-based access controls that limit access to personal data to authorised personnel who have a legitimate operational need.
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments conducted by internal and external security teams.
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for platform administrative access.
- Incident response procedures, including notification obligations in the event of a personal data breach that creates a material risk to affected individuals.
