  • Account Management: Creating, verifying and managing your top1 account, including handling registration, login and account settings.
  • Transaction Processing: Processing your deposits and withdrawals in MYR via your preferred payment methods, including Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow and FPX.
  • Identity Verification: To fulfil legal obligations relating to anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) requirements.
  • Service Provision: Giving you full access to everything top1 has to offer — from Pragmatic Play and PG Soft slots to live baccarat, and Sports Betting on EPL football, badminton, cricket and e-sports.

  • Legal Compliance: Fulfilling legal obligations and regulatory requirements, and complying with directives from relevant authorities.

top1 will not use your personal data for any purpose not stated in this Privacy Policy without first obtaining your consent.

05Sharing Data with Third Parties

Top1 does not sell or trade your personal data. However, in certain limited circumstances, we may share data with trusted third parties:

  • Payment Processors: Payment providers such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow and FPX partner banks receive only the transaction information necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
  • Game Providers: Third-party game providers such as Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Habanero and Evolution Gaming may receive limited account information necessary to enable you to play their games on the top1 platform.

  • Regulatory Authority: Law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies or courts when we are legally required to do so by law or court order.
  • Identity Verification Provider: Accredited third-party services engaged to assist with identity verification (KYC) and anti-money laundering checks.

All third parties that receive your personal data from top1 are bound by equivalent or stricter data protection obligations, and are prohibited from using that data for any purpose other than those permitted.

Our Guarantee: top1 has never sold, and will never sell, members' personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any party unrelated to the delivery of our platform services.

06Data Security

Top1 implements comprehensive technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, deletion, or inadvertent disclosure:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All communications between your device and top1's servers are encrypted using the latest SSL/TLS standards, equivalent to the security used by banking institutions.
  • Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in top1's databases is also encrypted at rest, not only during transmission.
  • Internal Access Controls: Only top1 staff who require access to your data to perform their duties are permitted to do so. All access is logged and monitored.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Member accounts are protected with two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent unauthorised access even if a password is compromised.
  • 24/7 Security Monitoring: Intrusion detection systems and active monitoring operate around the clock to identify and respond to any security threats promptly.
  • Regular Security Audits: top1 conducts regular penetration testing and security audits by independent experts to identify and address any vulnerabilities.
  • Fund Segregation: Member funds are held in accounts completely separate from the company's operational funds, providing an additional layer of protection for your money.

While top1 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can guarantee absolute protection. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure by maintaining the confidentiality of your password and not sharing your login credentials with anyone.

07Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Top1 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and gather analytics data. The following types of cookies are used:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functions — including login sessions, security, and language preferences. Without these cookies, the platform cannot function properly. These cookies cannot be disabled.
  • Performance / Analytics Cookies: Collects information on how you use the platform — pages visited, time spent, and features used. This data is aggregated and anonymised to help us improve the platform.
  • Functional Cookies: Saving your preferences — such as language selection, display theme and other settings — so you don't have to reconfigure them every time you visit.
  • Security Cookies: Used to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure the security of your login session.

You can manage your cookie settings through your web browser preferences. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or user experience of the top1 platform. Continued use of the top1 platform after the cookie notice is displayed will be considered your consent to the use of cookies as described above.

08Cross-Border Data Transfers

Given the global operations of game providers and payment processors, your personal data may in certain circumstances be processed or stored outside Malaysia. top1 ensures that any such cross-border data transfers are conducted with adequate safeguards in place:

  • Transfers are only made to countries or parties that provide an equivalent or higher level of data protection.
  • Legally binding data processing agreements are established with all recipient parties outside Malaysia.
  • International game providers such as Pragmatic Play and PG Soft, which may process your gaming data, are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements.
  • Payment processors operating in Malaysia, such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay and DuitNow, are bound by Malaysian law and Bank Negara Malaysia regulations.

Transfer Safeguards: top1 will not transfer your personal data to any country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without first obtaining your explicit consent.

09Data Retention Period

Top1 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes or as required by law. The following are general retention period guidelines:

  • Active Account Data: For as long as your account remains active and you continue using top1's services.
  • After Account Closure: Financial transaction data and identity verification records are retained for a minimum of 7 years following account closure, in accordance with Malaysia's anti-money laundering legal requirements.
  • Customer Service Records: Support communication logs are retained for 3 years for reference and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Analytics Data: Anonymised usage data is retained indefinitely for platform analysis and improvement purposes, as it can no longer be linked to any specific individual.
