From a small team with a big idea to one of Malaysia's most recognised online casino and sports betting destinations — this is the candy88 story. We started with a single conviction: Malaysian players deserve a platform that truly understands them.
candy88 was founded in 2017 by a group of technology and gaming professionals who shared a common frustration: the online casino platforms available to Malaysian players at the time were either slow, unreliable, or simply not built with the local market in mind. Payment options were clunky, customer support was offshore and impersonal, and the game libraries were filled with titles that felt irrelevant to Southeast Asian tastes.
The founding team — with deep roots across Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and Penang — set out to build something genuinely different. The mission was straightforward: create a platform that felt local, paid fast, and treated every player with respect. candy88 launched in beta with a modest game library and a handful of payment options, but what it lacked in scale it more than made up for in reliability and responsiveness.
Word spread quickly. Players in Johor Bahru praised the speed of Touch 'n Go eWallet withdrawals. Sports bettors in Shah Alam appreciated the competitive odds on Liga Super Malaysia. Live casino enthusiasts across the Klang Valley gravitated toward the growing Baccarat and Blackjack tables. By 2019, candy88 had crossed 100,000 registered accounts — growth that was entirely organic, driven by player referrals and a genuine reputation for paying out.
Today, candy88 serves over 500,000 registered players across Malaysia, processing more than MYR 2 million in daily payouts and maintaining a 99.8% platform uptime. The team has grown substantially, but the founding ethos remains unchanged: build for Malaysian players, operate with integrity, and never stop improving.
Platform launched in beta, with core sports betting and a curated selection of slot games. Initial focus on Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley players, accepting Maybank and CIMB transfers.
Added a full live dealer suite featuring Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, and Sic Bo. Touch 'n Go eWallet integration introduced — the first local e-wallet supported by candy88.
Crossed 100,000 registered accounts entirely through organic growth. DuitNow and FPX support added, making it significantly easier for players across all major Malaysian banks to fund accounts.
Launched BTC, ETH, USDT TRC20, and BNB deposit and withdrawal channels. Introduced the 2% crypto deposit bonus — up to MYR 688. GrabPay and Boost integrations also went live.
Expanded game library to over 3,800 titles. Fully rebuilt mobile experience launched — no app download required. Introduced the Long-term Player Rewards programme and the Brand Migration Programme.
Surpassed 500,000 registered players. Daily payouts exceeding MYR 2 million. Continued investment in responsible gambling infrastructure and player protection tools.
To deliver the most trusted, enjoyable, and fairly-operated online gaming experience for Malaysian players — accessible from any device, available around the clock, and always paying out on time.
We achieve this by investing in robust technology infrastructure, maintaining rigorous financial controls, and building a support team that genuinely understands the needs of our players in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and beyond.
To be the online gaming platform that Malaysian players trust most — not just for the breadth of our games or the speed of our payouts, but for our transparency, our ethical operating standards, and our genuine commitment to responsible gambling.
We envision a future where every Malaysian player who chooses candy88 feels confident they are playing on a platform that has their best interests at heart — not just their wallet.
From football betting on Liga Super Malaysia and the EPL to live Baccarat streamed around the clock — here is what makes candy88 the platform of choice for over half a million players.
A library spanning premium video slots, live dealer tables (Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Sic Bo), crash games, fishing games, instant wins, and a full sportsbook — all in one platform. New titles added weekly to keep the experience fresh.
Touch 'n Go eWallet and Boost withdrawals typically arrive within 5–30 minutes. Bank transfers via FPX and DuitNow are processed same-day. No unnecessary delays, no unexplained holds on verified accounts.
Play from any smartphone or tablet — Android or iOS — without installing an app. candy88's mobile browser experience is fully optimised for smaller screens, with fast loading even on 4G connections across Malaysia.
Comprehensive markets on Liga Super Malaysia, EPL, La Liga, the Champions League, and UFC. In-play live betting available for major matches. Mix Parlay supported across all football competitions — a favourite among Malaysian football fans.
Deposit and withdraw in BTC, ETH, USDT TRC20, or BNB. Lower fees, faster settlement, and an exclusive 2% crypto deposit bonus up to MYR 688 make crypto the preferred channel for many regular players.
256-bit SSL encryption protects every transaction. Two-factor authentication is available on all accounts. Games from partner studios are independently audited for fairness — RTP figures are not manipulated on our end.
These are the principles that guide every decision at candy88 — from product development to player support.
We operate transparently. Bonus terms are written in plain English, not buried in dense legal text. Withdrawal policies are clear and consistently applied. We do not change rules retroactively or invent reasons to delay payouts.
Every platform decision starts with one question: does this benefit the player? From UI design to payout processing windows to live chat response times — the player experience is the central metric we optimise for.
candy88 enforces a strict 21+ policy. We invest in self-exclusion tools, deposit and loss limit features, and player education resources because we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a financial burden.
The online gaming landscape moves quickly. We invest continuously in platform performance, security upgrades, new payment integrations, and game content to ensure candy88 remains current, competitive, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

When candy88 was built, one of the founding team's non-negotiable requirements was that the platform must support the payment methods Malaysians actually use — not just international credit cards. That commitment has only deepened over the years.
Today, candy88 supports the widest range of local payment options of any platform in its category, including all major Malaysian e-wallets, every significant local bank via FPX and DuitNow, and a full suite of cryptocurrency channels for players who prefer digital assets.
Delayed withdrawals erode trust faster than any other platform issue. We process verified withdrawals without unnecessary manual review bottlenecks.
Touch 'n Go eWallet and Boost withdrawals are typically complete in 5–30 minutes — genuinely fast, not marketing copy.
We maintain sufficient liquidity reserves to process large withdrawals without queuing players behind each other — a common problem at smaller platforms.
All MYR amounts displayed on candy88 are accurate — no hidden currency conversions, no processing fees deducted on our end for standard e-wallet and bank withdrawals.
candy88 is strictly an adults-only platform. We enforce a firm 21+ minimum age requirement for all registered accounts. This is not just a compliance checkbox — it reflects our genuine belief that gambling should never be accessible to young or vulnerable individuals.
We invest in responsible gambling infrastructure because we believe a long-term, sustainable platform is one where players enjoy themselves, stay in control, and come back because they want to — not because they feel compelled to.
