Minors & Age Verification
The cuci21 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from any person under 21 years of age.
cuci21 employs mandatory age verification as part of the account registration and KYC process. Any Account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all pending games or bets will be voided, and any funds will be returned to the payment source after applicable verification checks.
If you become aware that a minor has registered an Account on cuci21 or has used the Platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will take immediate action to close the Account and delete any Personal Data associated with the minor from our systems.
Third-Party Services
The cuci21 Platform may contain integrations with third-party service providers including payment gateways, game content delivery networks, and customer support platforms. These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and cuci21 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party providers.
All third-party processors engaged by cuci21 are bound by contractual data processing agreements that require them to handle Personal Data in accordance with applicable privacy standards and to process such data only on our documented instructions. We conduct periodic due diligence on critical third-party processors to confirm their continued compliance.
International Data Transfers
As an online platform, cuci21 may store and process your Personal Data on servers located outside of Malaysia. Where such international transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to provide equivalent levels of data protection, including contractual data protection clauses with receiving entities and, where applicable, transfers only to jurisdictions recognised as providing adequate data protection standards.
If you would like further information about the specific safeguards applied to international transfers of your Personal Data, please contact us at [email protected].
Policy Amendments
cuci21 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or the structure of our services. Material changes to this Policy will be communicated to registered Players via email notification or a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page reflects when the current version of this Policy came into effect. We recommend that you review this Policy periodically to remain informed of how cuci21 handles your Personal Data.

How cuci21 Protects Your Data
Six concrete commitments cuci21 makes to every player regarding the security and responsible use of your personal information.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every connection between your browser or app and the cuci21 platform is protected by bank-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal data are never transmitted in plain text.
We Never Sell Your Data
cuci21 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. The data you share with us is used exclusively to operate your account and deliver the services you've signed up for.
Purpose-Limited Processing
We collect only the data we genuinely need for clearly stated purposes. Every data point collected has a defined reason — we don't collect information speculatively or hold data beyond its useful retention period.
Full Data Subject Rights
You can request access to your data, request corrections, ask for deletion, or withdraw marketing consent at any time. We respond to all formal data rights requests within 30 days and aim for much faster turnaround on straightforward queries.
Strict Third-Party Controls
All third-party processors — payment gateways, KYC providers, game studios — are bound by contractual data processing agreements. They can only use your data for the specific purpose we've authorised, nothing more.
Strict Minors Protection
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 21 years of age. Age verification is mandatory at registration. Any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately and associated data is deleted without delay.
