Introduction
For many Malaysians, watching sports is more than a hobby — it's a way of life. From cheering on the sidelines of a kampung football pitch to catching a Champions League live stream at a kopitiam at 2am with old friends, sports have always been the thread that binds our community together. Now, with the 98ms sports betting platform, you can be part of that experience on a whole new level.
Sports betting isn't just about winning money. It's about applying your knowledge of sports, players, current team form, and other factors to make accurate predictions. When your analysis is right and the match result goes your way, the satisfaction is something else entirely — a blend of pride as an informed sports fan and the thrill of a financial reward.
At 98ms, we understand that Malaysian players have their own sporting preferences. That's why our platform is built to cover not only the big European leagues, but also local competitions such as the Malaysia Super League, FA Cup, international badminton tournaments featuring Malaysia's top players, and other sports close to the hearts of local users.
It's no surprise that football dominates the sports betting section at 98ms. With coverage spanning over 200 football leagues and competitions from around the world, the options are nearly endless. The English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1 — all major leagues are covered with an extensive range of betting markets.
For local football fans, the Malaysia Super League and Premier League receive special coverage at 98ms. Matches featuring clubs such as Johor Darul Ta'zim, Selangor FC, Kuala Lumpur City, and other teams from across the country are easy to bet on. That means you can support your favourite team in a more exciting and meaningful way.
Football betting markets at 98ms offer a wide variety of options. Beyond the standard win/draw/lose (1X2) bet, you'll also find Asian Handicap — hugely popular among Asian bettors — Over/Under total goals, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), correct score, first goalscorer, and various accumulator markets that let you combine multiple selections on a single bet slip for more attractive multiplied odds.
Malaysia is a globally recognised badminton powerhouse, and Malaysians' passion for the sport has never faded. At 98ms, international badminton events such as the All England, BWF World Championships, Thomas Cup and Uber Cup, as well as the Super 1000, Super 750, and Super 500 series are comprehensively covered with a full range of betting markets.
You can bet on the outcome of every match, with options to pick the winner of each set, total points, and various other markets. When a Malaysian pair or player competes, the excitement of watching is already high — with a bet placed at 98ms, every smash and every point becomes even more thrilling.
Beyond football and badminton, 98ms also provides extensive betting coverage for a wide range of other international sports with large followings in Malaysia.
Basketball (NBA & FIBA): The NBA is one of the most popular basketball leagues in the world, and Malaysia is no exception. At 98ms, every NBA game can be wagered on across a wide range of markets including match winner, point handicap, over/under, and individual player performance. FIBA competitions including the Basketball World Cup are also covered.
Tennis: Grand Slam events such as Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open are among the most anticipated tennis events for sports bettors at 98ms. Tennis betting markets cover match winner, set handicap, total games, and various other options that make every match more engaging to follow.
Hockey: As Malaysia's national sport, hockey holds a special place on the 98ms platform. Hockey World Cup, Hockey Champions League, and international matches involving the Malaysian national team are available for betting throughout the competition season.
Rugby, Volleyball & Others: For players looking for something different, 98ms also offers betting markets for rugby union, rugby league, international volleyball, and several alternative sports that are gaining traction among local sports fans.
The esports industry has grown rapidly in recent years, and Malaysia is very much part of that trend. Malaysian professional players have begun making their mark internationally across various competitive titles, and local interest in esports continues to rise year on year.
At 98ms, esports betting covers major tournaments in games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) — hugely popular across Southeast Asia — Dota 2, CS:GO (Counter-Strike), League of Legends, and PUBG Mobile. Regional and international championships including the MLBB M-Series, The International Dota 2, and ESL Pro League CS:GO are all available to bet on at 98ms.
Esports betting markets at 98ms cover match winner, map handicap, total maps played, first blood, and various other unique markets specific to each game. This opens up wide opportunities for players who closely follow the esports scene to capitalise on their in-depth knowledge.
One of the most popular features in the 98ms betting section is the live or in-play betting function. Unlike pre-match betting placed before the opening whistle, live betting lets you place wagers while the match is underway — with odds that change in real time according to how the game unfolds on the field.
Imagine you're watching a football match and your favourite team is trailing 0-1 at the 30th minute, but you notice they're actually dominating possession and creating chances. With live betting at 98ms, you can act on that insight by placing a bet at just the right moment — potentially at higher odds because the match situation isn't favouring your team at that point.
The 98ms live betting interface is clean and responsive, ensuring you can place bets quickly without hesitation even as odds shift within seconds. Live score displays, match statistics, and match visualizations help you make more informed decisions based on the latest information.
Trust is the foundation of the relationship between players and a betting platform. At 98ms, the security of player funds and the privacy of personal information are non-negotiable priorities. All financial transactions on this platform are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption, ensuring that every deposit and withdrawal you make is safe from any intrusion or unauthorized access.
Player funds are held in a separate account from the company's operational funds, ensuring your money is always protected and available whenever you wish to make a withdrawal. The identity verification (KYC) process implemented by 98ms is part of our commitment to ensuring only the rightful account owner can access and withdraw funds.
As a platform that practises Responsible Gaming, 98ms also provides self-management tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, and temporary break options to help players control their wagering habits. Our goal is to ensure sports betting remains enjoyable entertainment, not a burden.
