Five years ago, telling people you were betting on video games might have raised a few eyebrows. Today, esports is one of the fastest-growing betting segments in Malaysia and across Southeast Asia. At Payong99, our esports section is one of the most active and most visited every day, especially during the MPL Malaysia season and major international tournaments.
Why has it grown so quickly? The answer is straightforward — the generation of Malaysian players who grew up with Mobile Legends, Dota 2 and CS are now in their 20s and 30s. They understand these games at a deep level, they follow their favorite teams and players, and they have far more detailed knowledge of each team's strengths and weaknesses than a casual observer ever would. That kind of insight is genuinely valuable in the world of sports betting.
At Payong99, we provide serious esports betting infrastructure — not just one or two basic markets, but hundreds of market options for every major match. From Map Handicap to First Blood, from Total Kills in a single map to who wins the first pistol round in CS2 — it's all here for players who truly know what they're doing.
Below is a list of major tournaments with betting coverage available at Payong99 year-round, with estimated prize pools and match schedules that are continuously updated.

The biggest edge Malaysian players have in esports betting is deep, hands-on knowledge of the games themselves. If you play Mobile Legends or regularly follow the MPL, you already have a foundation most bettors lack. But knowledge alone isn't enough — you need a systematic way to apply it in the context of betting at Payong99.

Malaysia has a strong tradition in Southeast Asian esports. Malaysian teams like Todak and Fnatic (representing SEA in Dota 2) have proven that local players can compete at the international level. This isn't just national pride — for players Payong99, which means there is deep local knowledge of playstyles, team strengths and weaknesses that is hard for players from other countries to match.
Malaysia's esports ecosystem also receives backing from KBS (Ministry of Youth and Sports) through youth development programs and an increasingly competitive domestic league circuit. MPL Malaysia is now entering its 15th season with a growing viewership and prize pools that have climbed steadily each season. This means match quality and the data available for analysis continue to improve over time.
From a betting perspective at Payong99, this mature ecosystem means more statistical data, more matches to analyze, and a stronger foundation for making informed calls. If you've been following MPL Malaysia for a few seasons, you already have a genuine competitive edge over bettors who are just getting started with esports betting.
There are a few key differences between betting on esports versus traditional sports like football that you should know before getting started at Payong99.
Busier schedule: In esports, teams can play multiple matches in a single week throughout a league season. This means there is more up-to-date data available, and the effects of fatigue or low morale can be more pronounced than in football, where teams may only play once a week.
Impact of patches and game updates: In football, the rules don't change every two weeks. In esports, a new patch can shift the meta dramatically — a dominant team before the patch may struggle after it. Payong99 players who keep up with patch updates will always have an analytical edge.
Higher variance in short formats: Best-of-1 matches in esports carry very high variance — an overall weaker team can still take a single game. This makes tournament outright winner markets sometimes safer than betting on the outcome of one short match.
Better availability of information: Almost every professional esports match is streamed live and available for replay. Detailed per-player statistics are freely available on community platforms. This gives bettors Payong99 access to far more in-depth information than traditional sports.
Pro Tip: Start with the esports titles you actually play or follow closely. First-hand player knowledge is an edge money can't buy — you understand why certain teams make certain calls, and that helps you read the odds at Payong99 far more accurately than stats alone ever could.

Real experiences from esports fans across Malaysia
"Been playing MLBB and watching MPL for a long time — when I started betting at Payong99 it felt like an advantage because I genuinely understand how Malaysian teams play. The map-by-map markets are really useful — sometimes the weaker team takes game one but I already know they'll lose the series. Incredibly rewarding when you call it right."
"Been playing Dota 2 for 10 years, so when I started betting on Dota tournaments at Payong99 it genuinely felt like I had an edge. The live betting feature is incredibly useful — when you see a team secure Roshan with a big gold advantage, jumping on the live odds for them to take that game is a no-brainer. Depositing via DuitNow is seamless, funds in under a minute."
"Just tried esports betting at Payong99 last month. Started with the title I know best — VALORANT — and focused purely on match winner markets before moving on to more complex ones. After a few weeks, I started recognizing patterns and making decisions with a lot more confidence. The platform is easy to use on mobile."
