Section 1
Introduction & Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by NextBet ("we", "the platform" or "NextBet") and applies to all users who access or use our online sports betting and casino platform at nextbet.life. This covers all services we offer, including Malaysia Super League football betting, BWF badminton, e-sports, live casino, table games, and online slots.

We understand that entrusting any online platform with your personal information requires a great deal of confidence. At NextBet, we take that responsibility very seriously. This policy is designed to give you a clear and honest picture of how we manage your data — without confusing legal jargon.

Legal Basis:

NextBet's Privacy Policy is formulated and implemented in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) Malaysia – the primary legislation governing the processing of personal data of individuals in Malaysia. By using the NextBet platform, you agree to the terms set out in this Policy.

This policy applies to all information we collect through the nextbet.life web platform, any mobile applications we may develop in the future, email communications and customer support, as well as integrations with third-party payment providers such as DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, and FPX.

Section 2

Section 3
How We Use Your Personal Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. NextBet uses your personal data solely for the following purposes:

  • Account management and identity verification – to verify that you are a legitimate individual and at least 18 years of age.
  • Financial transaction processing – including deposits via DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, and FPX, as well as withdrawal of winnings to your account.
  • Betting service delivery – allowing you to bet on Super League football, badminton, e-sports, Live Casino, and table games on NextBet.
  • Platform Security — detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, duplicate accounts, and any activity that violates NextBet's Terms & Conditions.
  • Customer Support – so our Malay-speaking support team can assist you more effectively.
  • Legal compliance – to comply with the PDPA 2010 and other applicable regulations.
  • Platform Improvements – to analyse usage patterns and improve the overall NextBet user experience.
  • Marketing communications – to send you promotional information, bonuses, and special offers (only where you have given your consent).
Data Minimisation Principle:

NextBet only collects data that is strictly necessary for the purposes stated above. We do not collect excessive or irrelevant information beyond what is needed to operate our platform.

Section 4
Data Sharing with Third Parties

NextBet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. However, in the course of operating the platform, we may share your data with the following limited categories of third parties:

  • Payment service providers — including payment gateways DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, and FPX providers such as Maybank and CIMB, to process your financial transactions. Any data shared is kept to a minimum and limited strictly to what is necessary to complete the transaction.
  • Game software providers – companies that supply live casino, slots, and table game software to NextBet. They only receive the data necessary to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
  • IT & Security Service Providers – companies that help us operate and protect the technical infrastructure of the NextBet platform.
  • Authorities and regulatory bodies – we may be required to disclose data to Malaysian authorities where mandated by law or court order.

All third parties working with NextBet are required to adhere to strict data protection standards and are not permitted to use your data for any purpose beyond what is specified in our mutual service agreements.

Section 5

Data Retention Period

NextBet retains your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services to you. Once your account is closed, your data will be kept for the following periods before being permanently deleted:

  • Financial transaction data: 7 years — required for financial and tax compliance purposes in Malaysia.
  • Identity data (KYC): 5 years after account closure – in line with anti-money laundering (AMLA) legal requirements.
  • Customer support communication history: 3 years — for reference and resolution of any future disputes.
  • Technical data and system logs: 1 year – for security purposes and incident investigation where required.
  • Marketing data and communication preferences: Until you withdraw your consent or close your account, whichever comes first.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or fully anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you personally.

Section 9
Privacy Policy Amendments

NextBet reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, new legal requirements, or changes to the services we offer.

  • Sending notifications via email to the registered address on your NextBet account.
  • Displaying a clear notice on the platform's main page.
  • Updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

FAQ
General Questions About Privacy at NextBet

NextBet only discloses your information to Malaysian authorities when required by law or a valid court order. This includes criminal investigations related to money laundering or financial fraud. We do not voluntarily disclose your information without a solid legal basis, and we will notify you of any such requests where permitted by law.

All financial transactions on NextBet are processed through secure, certified payment gateways. Your payment details — whether Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, or FPX — are never stored directly in NextBet's database. Instead, we store encrypted tokens issued by the payment provider, not actual account numbers or sensitive information. 256-bit SSL encryption ensures this data cannot be intercepted in transit.

Yes, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data from NextBet's systems by submitting a request to privacy@nextbet.life or via live chat. Please note, however, that certain data is required to be retained under Malaysian law — for example, financial transaction records must be kept for 7 years under financial regulatory requirements. Data not subject to such legal obligations will be deleted within 30 days of your request.

Your betting data is used solely for platform operations — processing bets, calculating winnings, and identifying potential responsible gambling concerns. We do not use your betting history to target third-party advertisements or sell it to any advertisers. Any promotional communications we send relate exclusively to NextBet's own offers and are only sent to you if you have given your consent to receive them.
