From MLBB MPL Malaysia to Dota 2 The International – star 8 brings you the most comprehensive esports betting markets for Malaysian gaming fans. Competitive odds, fast settlement, and easy deposits.
Odds updated every second – live & pre-match markets
Esports betting has become one of the fastest-growing segments in online betting, and Malaysia is among the most active markets in this space. This comes as no surprise — Malaysians have long had a deep passion for gaming, from the cyber cafe era of the early 2000s through to today's age of smartphones and streaming. Young Malaysian players rank among the best in the region in games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), Dota 2, and Valorant.
At star 8, we take that passion seriously. The star 8 esports platform does not just list matches for you to bet on — we bring you deep and diverse markets, tournament coverage from local to international level, and genuinely competitive odds that reward your esports knowledge.
If there is one game that truly captures the spirit of Malaysia's gaming community, it is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. MLBB is far more than a casual game — it has a well-established esports ecosystem complete with professional leagues, academy leagues, and tournaments with prize pools worth millions of MYR. The latest MPL Malaysia Season regularly draws tens of thousands of spectators in stadium and hundreds of thousands more via online streaming.
Star 8 offers the most comprehensive MLBB betting coverage in Malaysia. You can bet on full match outcomes, game handicaps, individual map winners, total kills in a match, first player to reach level 4, and many more markets that reward deep knowledge of the current game meta. For MLBB fans who genuinely keep up with the latest patches and team form, this is your chance to put that knowledge to productive use.
Dota 2 has a smaller but fiercely loyal community in Malaysia. The International – the annual Dota 2 tournament that has amassed the largest prize pool in esports history – is consistently the biggest betting event on the star 8 platform throughout the year. The International's prize pool has previously exceeded USD 40 million, making it a truly global sporting occasion.
Beyond The International, star 8 covers the DPC (Dota Pro Circuit) throughout the season, including Southeast Asian regional matches that frequently feature Malaysian and Filipino teams in close competition. Dota 2 markets on star 8 include Roshan kill, first blood, first tower, total match duration, and live markets updated every second during play.
Counter-Strike has transitioned to CS2, and the platform has become one of the most actively bet-on esports titles in the world. CS2 Major Championships organised by Valve consistently rank among the highest-value betting events on star 8. For fans of tactical FPS, star 8 also offers full coverage of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), including matches from Asia-Pacific teams.
What makes FPS esports particularly interesting is a meta that shifts with every patch and map update. Players who follow these developments closely have a real edge when making betting decisions, especially for markets like pistol round winner, eco round winner, and first half handicap.
Getting started with esports betting at star 8 is straightforward and fits right into the busy lifestyle of Malaysian players. Register a free account with your Malaysian phone number, then make a deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX through Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks – minimum deposit is just RM20 and is credited in under 2 minutes.
After depositing, navigate to the "E-Sports" section on the star 8 platform. You will see a list of ongoing and upcoming matches organised by game. Click on any match to view all available markets. Select your bet, add it to the bet slip, set your stake, and confirm. Winnings are settled instantly once the match is over.
One feature that esports fans at star 8 love is the Cash Out — you can take out part or all of your winnings before the match ends. This is especially useful when the team you backed is leading but you want to secure a positive return without waiting for the final result.
