Richman88 E-Sports — Bet on Your Favourite Esport Tournaments
This page guides you to the E-Sports section at richman88 — an esport betting platform for Malaysian users who follow Dota 2, Mobile Legends, CS2, Valorant, and more. Learn about markets, how to bet, and how to access everything from your phone.
Two Core Concepts in E-Sports Betting
Match Winner Betting (Match Winner)
This is the simplest bet type in E-Sports — you pick the team or player you think will win the match. The odds for each team reflect the system's estimate of their chances of winning.
Simple example: In a Mobile Legends match between Team A vs Team B, odds are displayed as A: 1.70, B: 2.10. If you place RM 30 on Team B and they win, you receive RM 63. The mechanics work just like regular Sports Betting, applied to competitive video game matches.
The advantage of this bet type for new users is that it requires no deep knowledge of the game meta — a basic understanding of team records and current form is enough to make your first decision.
Map Handicap Betting (Map Handicap)
In multi-map E-Sports titles like Dota 2, CS2, and Valorant, matches are often played in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 format. Map Handicap betting lets you wager not just on who wins, but on the margin of maps won.
Example: In a Best of 3 match, the stronger team may be given a -1.5 map handicap — meaning they need to win 2-0 for your bet to succeed. The weaker team at +1.5 map only needs to win at least one map. This gives you more options beyond simply picking the overall winner.
Malaysian users who follow the MPL (Mobile Pro League) tend to be more comfortable with map handicap betting, as they have a deeper understanding of local team strengths — allowing for more informed analysis.

Five Main E-Sports Disciplines at richman88
The MOBA genre is the most popular among Malaysian users, driven by the success of local teams on the international stage. richman88 offers markets for DPC (Dota Pro Circuit) Malaysia and MPL Malaysia/Singapore — the two leagues most closely followed by users here. Markets cover match winner, map handicap and total kills.
Competitive shooter titles attract users who follow the global esport scene. CS2 Major and Valorant Champions Tour events run on structured, plannable schedules. Markets for this genre typically cover match winner, round handicap, and total maps — ideal for users who understand how these games work.
Mobile esport is a fast-growing category in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. The PUBG Mobile World Invitational and Free Fire World Series draw massive followings, and richman88 offers markets for major matches across both titles. Mobile esport markets are also easier to follow for users new to esport betting.
For users already familiar with real-world sports, esports game titles like EA FC (formerly FIFA) and NBA2K offer a bridge between Sports Betting and E-Sports. The more intuitive game mechanics make it easier for new users to place informed bets without needing to grasp complex meta strategies.
For select esport tournaments, richman88 offers live betting options while the match is in progress. Odds are updated in real time as the match develops — for example, after each round in CS2 or after a major objective is taken in Dota 2. This gives you the opportunity to bet based on the current momentum of the match.

Key Things to Know for New E-Sports Users
Follow the esport tournament schedule — E-Sports markets are only available during active tournaments. Check the match schedule in your account to find out when your matches of interest will begin.
Different from Virtual Sports — Unlike virtual sports available 24/7, E-Sports follows real tournament schedules. If no active tournament is running, markets may not be available.
Understand the tournament format before placing your bets — Best of 1, Best of 3 and Best of 5 each have different dynamics for handicap and total maps markets. Check the match format in the tournament details before selecting a market.
Odds movements can be sudden — Rumours about a key player being unavailable or a team's lineup change can cause significant odds movement. Check live odds movement display before locking in your bet.
Live markets are more dynamic — If you are using live betting during an esport match, be prepared for odds that shift quickly between each round or objective. Make your decision fast, or the odds you saw may already be gone.
Download the app for match notifications — Use richman88 app to receive notifications when an E-Sports match you're following is about to begin, so you never miss the pre-match market.
Access E-Sports via the Main Sports Page
Many new users don't realise that the E-Sports section is directly accessible from richman88's main navigation tab — no need to go through any other page first. Once logged in, look for the "E-Sports" tab in the top menu or within the sports section navigation.
If you do not see any active E-Sports markets, it most likely means there are no major tournaments currently underway. In that case, you can switch to the Virtual Sports which is always available, or check the upcoming tournament schedule in your account dashboard.
For any questions about accessing E-Sports markets or resolving technical issues, the frequently asked questions provides a comprehensive guide in Bahasa Malaysia.
