Introduction
timebet ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the personal data of every individual who accesses or uses the services available at timebet.cam. This Privacy Policy applies to all users ("you", "User", "Player") worldwide who interact with the Platform, with particular consideration given to users based in Malaysia.
This Policy should be read alongside the timebet Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gambling policy. Together, these three documents form the complete framework governing your relationship with timebet.
Malaysian users should note that the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) of Malaysia establishes principles governing the processing of personal data in commercial transactions. While timebet operates under an international licensing framework and is not directly regulated in Malaysia, we adopt data handling standards consistent with recognised international best practices, including principles reflective of the Malaysian PDPA.

Minors
The timebet platform is strictly intended for individuals aged21 years and above. We do not knowingly solicit, collect or process Personal Data from anyone under the age of 21. Casino-style gambling is an adult activity and age enforcement is a core operational obligation for timebet.

Any winings accumulated during that period will be forfeited and deposits will be returned subject to standard verification.
If you believe a minor has registered an Account on timebet, please contact the support team immediately using the details in Section 14.
International Data Transfers
timebet may transfer Personal Data to countries outside Malaysia in connection with the operation of the Platform, including for hosting, payment processing and customer support functions. Where such transfers occur, timebet takes steps to ensure that equivalent data protection safeguards are in place, which may include:
- Contractual clauses incorporating standard data protection obligations binding on the recipient.
- Transfer to jurisdictions recognised as providing adequate levels of protection for personal data.
- Binding corporate rules or equivalent internal policies where applicable within corporate group.
By using timebet and accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in Malaysia.
