Esports refers to professional video game competitions, while traditional sports involve physical activity. From a betting standpoint, the key difference is that esports offers markets tied specifically to game mechanics, such as "first kill" or "first tower". Match duration is also less predictable, as games can end earlier or later depending on how both teams perform.

Why Esports Is Taking Off in Malaysia
Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia's most active esports communities. Since Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) took off at school and university level, many young Malaysians have followed professional matches with the same passion football fans bring to the EPL. MPL Malaysia Season 13, for instance, drew millions of online viewers — making esports betting markets increasingly relevant and active.
At t800, esports coverage goes beyond international titles. Local teams from Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and other major cities regularly represent Malaysia in regional leagues, and t800 users can bet on their matches with live-updated markets.
Top Esports Titles Available
The title selection at t800 covers the games most popular among Malaysian users. Each title has its own markets based on the match format — whether it's a Best-of-1, Best-of-3, or Best-of-5.
| Game Title | Market Types | Match Frequency | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile Legends (MLBB) | Match Winner, Map, Handicap | Daily (active season) | Malaysian & SEA Users |
| Dota 2 | Winner, Total Kills, First Blood | 4–6 days a week | Seasoned esports fans |
| CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) | Map Winner, Total Rounds, Handicap | Daily | First-person shooter fans |
| VALORANT | Match Winner, Map, Round Handicap | 3–5 days a week | Young players & tactical viewers |
| League of Legends | Winner, First Blood, First Tower | During the LCK/LPL/LEC season | Global MOBA fans |
Five Esports Aspects You Need to Understand
Match Winner Market
The most straightforward market — you pick which team wins the overall match. In a Best-of-3 format, that means the first team to win 2 maps takes it. Odds reflect each team's current record, world ranking, and that day's player lineup. Odds on the underdog are generally higher, offering attractive returns if an upset happens.
Map Handicap
Map handicap markets give a virtual head start to the weaker team to level the playing field. For example, Team B is given +1.5 maps — meaning even if Team B loses 0-2, your bet still wins because they lost by less than 1.5 maps on the handicap. This market is popular for matches with a significant skill gap between the two sides.
Live In-Play Betting
Live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. Odds shift in real time based on how the game unfolds — if Team A dominates the first 15 minutes of a Dota 2 match, their odds will shorten while Team B's lengthen. This opens up opportunities for users who understand the game to make informed decisions as the action develops.
In-Game Specialty Markets
Beyond the match winner, t800 offers specialty markets like "Which Team Gets the First Dragon" in MLBB or Dota 2, "Total Towers Destroyed" in League of Legends, or "First Map Winner" in CS2. These markets are ideal for users watching the match live and familiar with the dynamics of each game.
Esports Parlay
Just like traditional sports betting, you can combine multiple match selections into a single parlay ticket. Get every pick right and your returns multiply. Parlays work well for users watching several matches at once on big tournament nights like MPL Playoffs or a Dota 2 Major.
The Big Matches Everyone's Been Waiting For
MPL Malaysia — Mobile Legends
MPL Malaysia Season is the most-watched esports league in Malaysia. Teams like Todak, Geek Fam, and RSG MY command thousands of dedicated fans. Matches are held on weekends, and t800 provides live markets throughout every series. Users from Kuala Lumpur to Terengganu actively follow and bet on the league.
Dota 2 The International
The International is the annual tournament with the biggest prize pool in esports. Southeast Asian teams, including those from Malaysia and the Philippines, regularly represent the region, making this event especially relevant for local users. t800 opens markets from group stage through to the Grand Final, with parlay options spanning multiple matches in a single day.
CS2 Major & BLAST Premier
CS2 Major tournaments are held several times a year, featuring over 20 of the world's top teams. While no Malaysian team competes at this level, many t800 users follow their favourite sides from Europe and the Americas. Markets are available from the group stage right through to the Grand Final.
VALORANT Champions Tour
VCT is VALORANT's official competitive series, spanning regional leagues and global championships. The Pacific region features strong representation from Korea and Japan, alongside several Malaysian players carrying the national flag on the international stage. VCT markets are available on t800 throughout the active season.
Esports Terms You Should Know
Map
The arena or in-game environment played in a single match. In CS2 or VALORANT, a match is made up of several maps.
Best-of-3 (BO3)
A format where the first team to win 2 out of 3 maps is declared the match winner. Nearly all esports playoffs use this format.
Live Odds
Odds that shift in real time as a match progresses. If one team pulls ahead, their odds will automatically shorten.
Map Handicap
A virtual advantage or disadvantage given to a team in a multi-map format to level the playing field.
Esports Parlay
Combine two or more matches into a single ticket. All selections must be correct to win, but the potential payout is significantly higher.
In-Game Markets
Bet on specific in-match events such as "who gets the first dragon" or "how many towers are destroyed".
Two Core Esports Concepts
- Tier 1 vs Tier 2
- Tier 1 refers to the world's top-ranked teams, such as Major or World Championship participants. Tier 2 covers teams competing in regional leagues or qualifiers. Odds for Tier 2 tend to be more volatile due to limited records and data. For example: Tier 1 Dota 2 teams like Team Liquid versus SEA qualifier teams.
- Game Meta
- Meta refers to the most effective strategies, heroes, or weapons at any given time, depending on game updates. Meta shifts can significantly impact team performance. For example, if MLBB releases a powerful new hero, teams that know how to play that hero well will have a clear edge in the weeks that follow.
Follow the Action, Bet From Your Pocket

What Most Users Overlook
Many new users don't realise that esports markets on t800 differ from regular sports betting in one important way: market closing time. For traditional sports, markets typically close a few minutes before the opening whistle. For live esports, markets can close just seconds before the next map begins.
If you have any questions about how esports markets work, the FAQ provides a step-by-step guide. For account or payment issues, the terms section in betting terms and conditions clearly explains all policies.

Yes, esports odds tend to be more volatile, especially for Tier 2 leagues and lesser-known teams. This is because historical data is more limited compared to traditional sports. For top-ranked teams in Major tournaments, odds are generally more stable and reflect current rankings more accurately.
If a match is postponed by more than 24 hours from its scheduled time, all bets will be voided and refunded to your account. For short delays of under 12 hours, the match typically proceeds as normal and all bets remain valid. For the full policy, refer to the platform's terms and conditions page.
