This page gives you a full overview of Sports Betting at ekplus8 — how odds markets work, which sports are covered, how to deposit in MYR, and how to get started in just a few easy steps from your phone.
What is the Sports Betting section on ekplus8?
Ekplus8 Sports Betting lets you place wagers on a wide range of real sporting events — football, basketball, tennis, badminton, and more. You bet on the actual outcome of a match using live-updated odds.
Unlike casino games, sports betting draws on your knowledge of teams, players and matches — making it a popular choice among Malaysian sports fans.
What sports can I bet on?
Ekplus8 covers the sports most followed by Malaysian users — including local and international football leagues, basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, rugby and e-Sports. Match schedules and odds are available for events held daily, with broader coverage on weekends and during league seasons.
Five key sub-categories you should know
The widest coverage — from the Malaysia Super League to the Champions League. Markets include 1X2, Asian Handicap, Over/Under, first goalscorer and more. See also the dedicated football page for a detailed guide.
NBA, EuroLeague and Asian leagues are available with point handicap, total points and match winner markets. Odds are updated every quarter during live matches.
Grand Slam, ATP and WTA events are covered with set handicap, total games and match winner markets. Odds update every set while live betting is active.
Thomas Cup, Uber Cup and BWF World Tour are all covered — sports that are close to every Malaysian's heart. Straightforward markets and odds that reflect the true strength of each player.
Mobile Legends, Dota 2, CS:GO and international esports leagues are all available. A fast-growing segment with a young Malaysian audience that actively follows international tournaments.
Place your bets while the match is in play. Odds shift by the minute based on what's happening on the pitch — ideal for players who are actively watching the game.
How do I read odds and calculate returns?
A quick example of how to read odds
Say you want to bet on the football match between Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) and Selangor FC. The ekplus8 platform displays the odds as follows:
- JDT wins — odds 1.75
- Draw — odds 3.20
- Selangor win — odds 4.50
If you bet RM 50 on JDT to win and JDT wins, you will receive RM 50 × 1.75 = RM 87.50 (inclusive of the original stake). The net profit is RM 37.50. This is a neutral example to help you understand how the calculation works — actual odds vary according to live market conditions.

How good is the betting experience on mobile?
Thumb-optimised interface
The ekplus8 platform is built with a vertical layout that keeps the key buttons within thumb reach at the bottom of the screen — ideal for watching live matches on the go. Match schedules, odds and the bet slip are all accessible without horizontal scrolling or zooming in.
On the latest Android and iOS devices, odds update in real time without needing to refresh the page. This means you can track odds movements as the match unfolds and make betting decisions on the spot.
Access on slower connections
For users in areas with inconsistent 4G coverage — such as parts of Sabah, Sarawak or rural Peninsular Malaysia — the ekplus8 platform uses data optimisation technology that reduces bandwidth load without affecting core betting functions. Live betting and odds updates remain accessible on a stable 3G connection.
For the best experience, you can download the ekplus8 app via the Download App designed specifically for more efficient data usage compared to a standard mobile browser.
From registration to your first bet — how does the process work?
Browse the Sports Betting section and get familiar with the match schedule layout, odds display, and available market types. No login needed to view odds — you can check them out before signing up.
Click Register and fill in the basic details. The process takes just a few minutes. Once your account is active, you can proceed to make a deposit using your preferred local payment method.
Go to Sports Betting, select your preferred sport and match. Check the odds for each market, choose a bet type (1X2, Handicap, Over/Under), then enter your stake in RM on the bet slip.
Track your active bets from the account dashboard while watching the match. Once results are confirmed, winnings are credited automatically and can be withdrawn using the same payment method.
