Minors & Under-21 Policy
Kaya33 strictly prohibits access to or use of its Platform by persons under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any individual under 21 years of age. Age verification is a mandatory step in our KYC process before withdrawal rights are granted.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately close the relevant account, void any associated winings, return deposited funds to the payment source, and delete the collected data to the extent not required for regulatory reporting.
For parents and guardians: If you have reason to believe that a minor in your care has accessed Kaya33, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We take underage access extremely seriously and will act promptly on any report.
International Data Transfers
Kaya33 operates on an internationally licensed basis. This means that your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.
These safeguards include: data processing agreements with our service providers incorporating internationally recognised standard contractual clauses; ensuring that any third-party processor operating in a jurisdiction outside Malaysia provides a level of data protection equivalent to that afforded under our licensing framework; and limiting international transfers to what is strictly necessary for the provision of our services.
Malaysian players should be aware that the data protection laws of the country to which their data is transferred may differ from those in Malaysia under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). By using the Kaya33 Platform, you acknowledge and consent to such international transfers on the basis described in this Policy.

Kaya33 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or Platform features. Where changes are material, we will notify registered Players via the email address on their account or through a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
Your continued use of the Kaya33 Platform after any amendments to this Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
If you disagree with any change to this Policy, you must cease using the Platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
