MLBB — Malaysia's Most Beloved Game
Mobile Legends Bang Bang is one of the most popular esports titles in Malaysia, with a massive player base spanning Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.

Dota 2 & The International
The International is one of the most prestigious esports tournaments in the world, with some of the largest prize pools around.

CS2 & Valorant — The PC Community's Top Picks

Key Terms in Esports Betting
Bet on which team wins a specific map or round, as opposed to the overall match winner market which covers all maps played.
A scenario where one team is given a map advantage or deficit before a match begins, designed to balance the odds between a stronger and a weaker side.
Bets placed while a match is in progress, with odds updated in real time to reflect the current state of play — offering additional opportunities beyond pre-match betting alone.
A MOBA-specific market where you bet on which team scores the first kill in a match — typically offering higher odds due to the unpredictable nature of the outcome.
The dominant strategy or hero/weapon picks during a given period — this heavily influences team performance and is key information before making any betting decision.
An odds format showing the total gross return for every MYR 1 staked. Odds of 1.75 mean a gross return of RM1.75, or a net profit of RM0.75, for every RM1 bet.

Special Campaigns & Esports Promotions
Players from Sarawak to Kedah
Malaysia's esports community spans every state, with strong concentrations in urban areas like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru and Kuching. Players from Sarawak and Sabah in particular show a keen interest in MLBB, as the mobile-first nature of the game makes it far more accessible on a standard data connection than PC titles.
In Kedah and the northern states, an active Dota 2 community follows regional league matches closely and uses xhtab1 to make watching more engaging — placing live bets right from their smartphones while streaming matches live.
The xhtab1 VIP Programme offers active players extra perks, including higher betting limits and access to exclusive markets unavailable on standard accounts — making esports betting a richer and more rewarding experience for serious fans.
What Many Players Tend to Overlook
Many new users don't realise that live betting markets for esports close far faster than in traditional sports. During an active map, the window to place a bet can be just a few minutes. Make sure you have your stake amount ready before the map begins.
Esports match schedules can also change at short notice due to technical delays or team substitutions. xhtab1 updates schedules automatically, but it's still good practice to double-check before placing a pre-match bet on a match that's still a few hours away.
For more information on how to use the platform, check out our FAQ section that provides step-by-step guides covering every aspect of esports betting. You can also download the xhtab1 app to get the latest match schedule notifications delivered straight to your phone.
Betting from Your Smartphone
Optimised for Mobile Screens
The xhtab1 esports platform is built with mobile users in mind — large buttons and clear text that read well on smaller screens. Switching between market tabs, match schedules and betting history is effortless with just your thumb, no zooming or horizontal scrolling required.
Works Even on Slow Connections
For players in areas with limited internet connectivity, xhtab1 optimises page data size to keep the betting experience smooth even on a weak 3G or 4G connection. Odds and match schedule displays are loaded with high priority so the information you need is available faster.
Android App Available
In addition to the mobile web browser, xhtab1 app for Android delivers a faster experience with real-time notifications for upcoming matches, so you never miss the window to place a pre-match bet — whether you're commuting or at work.
