Our Story & Mission
About Hoki99 — Malaysia's Home for Sports Betting & Casino Gaming
Seven years of serving Malaysian players from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu. Here's who we are, what we stand for, and why hundreds of thousands of players trust Hoki99 as their platform of choice.
Where It All Started
The Hoki99 Story
Hoki99 was founded in 2017 by a team of Malaysian gaming industry veterans who saw a clear gap in the market: local players were being underserved by platforms designed for other markets, struggling with clunky interfaces, unsupported payment methods, and support teams that didn't speak their language. The founding team set out to build something different — a platform built specifically around how Malaysians actually live, bank, and play.
From the very beginning, Hoki99 was engineered to accept Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank2u, and CIMB Clicks at launch — not as an afterthought. The platform launched with Liga Super Malaysia and EPL odds front and centre, recognizing that football is the heartbeat of Malaysian sports culture. When the Harimau Malaya qualify for international competition, Hoki99 is where fans in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, and Petaling Jaya come to feel the stakes.
By 2020, Hoki99 had crossed 200,000 registered players and expanded its game library to over 800 titles. By 2023, that number had grown beyond 1,200 games across slots, live dealer, sports betting, lottery, arcade, and fishing games. Today, Hoki99 processes over RM 4.2 million in player payouts every single day, with the majority of withdrawals hitting Maybank and CIMB accounts within five minutes of request.
We're not the biggest platform in the world. We have never tried to be. Our goal has always been to be the most trusted platform for Malaysian players — and to earn that trust through fair games, transparent terms, and support that genuinely helps rather than deflects. That ethos drives every decision we make at Hoki99.

Our Mission & Values
Four principles that guide everything we build and every decision we make.
Every product decision starts with a single question: does this make the experience better for our players? From withdrawal speed to support response times, the player experience is never treated as secondary to business metrics.
We publish RTP percentages for every game. We write bonus terms in plain language. We don't hide fees. If something isn't in our favor to disclose, that's exactly why we disclose it — because our players deserve to make informed decisions.
Hoki99 wasn't adapted for Malaysia — it was built for Malaysia. From Ringgit-denominated wallets and local payment rails to Liga Super Malaysia coverage and Malay-language support, local relevance is a core design principle, not a feature tick.
Gambling should be entertainment, not a financial strategy. We provide deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion tools, and links to professional support resources. We enforce 21+ age verification on every account — no exceptions.
What Makes Hoki99 Different
Six things that separate us from the generic alternatives.
Verified accounts receive most withdrawal requests processed within five minutes, directly to Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, or any of our supported MYR payout channels. No manual queues for routine withdrawals.
Our support team operates around the clock in English, Bahasa Melayu, and Mandarin Chinese. Whether you're in Shah Alam at midnight or Kota Kinabalu on a Sunday afternoon, a human agent in your preferred language is available within minutes via live chat.
Every RNG-based game on Hoki99 is subject to regular independent testing. RTP figures are not estimates — they are audited outcomes. We don't offer games with manipulated odds, and we don't partner with studios whose certification records are unclear.
Hoki99 is fully optimized for mobile browsers on both Android and iOS. No app download is required to access the full game library, sports betting, deposits, withdrawals, and live chat support. Just open your browser and play.
Sports betting is where Hoki99 was born. We cover Liga Super Malaysia, the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, La Liga, UFC, NBA, and over 30 other sports disciplines — with in-play odds refreshed every few seconds during live matches.
Our multi-tier loyalty program rewards consistent play with cashback, reload bonuses, faster withdrawal processing, higher deposit limits, and birthday gifts. VIP points never expire, and tier reviews happen monthly based on actual activity rather than arbitrary thresholds.
Local Commitment
Built for Malaysian Players, Every Step of the Way
The Malaysian online gaming market is unique. Players here expect instant deposits via apps they already use — not wire transfers or unfamiliar global payment gateways. They follow the Harimau Malaya and Liga Super Malaysia as passionately as they follow the EPL. They communicate in three languages and expect platforms to meet them in all three.
Hoki99 was built around these realities from day one. We have never treated local payment integration as an optional feature or Malaysian language support as a marketing box to tick. These are foundational commitments that shaped the product from its earliest architecture.
Beyond the product, we are committed to responsible gaming within the Malaysian context. We enforce 21+ age verification on every single account — no exceptions, no workarounds. We provide deposit limits and self-exclusion tools to every member. And we make it easy, not difficult, to use those tools when you need them.
Active players from KL, Penang, JB, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Ipoh, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, and every state in between.
All balances, deposits, and withdrawals denominated in Malaysian Ringgit. No currency conversion fees.
Liga Super Malaysia and FAM Cup covered alongside EPL, UCL, La Liga, and international tournaments.
Live chat agents fluent in English, Bahasa Melayu, and Mandarin Chinese, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Profit without responsibility isn't something we're interested in.
Hoki99 takes responsible gambling seriously — not as a compliance obligation, but as a genuine operational principle. We believe that an unsustainable, problem-gambling user base is bad for players, bad for communities, and ultimately bad for the long-term health of any gaming platform.
We enforce mandatory 21+ age verification during the KYC process for all accounts. Players who cannot verify their age have their accounts closed and funds returned in full. Deposit limits are available at account level and can be set or reduced at any time via account settings or by contacting support — changes to increase limits have a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
Request temporary (7/30/90 day) or permanent self-exclusion at any time. Accounts are locked immediately upon request.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps. Reductions are instant; increases require a 24-hour waiting period.
Set time alerts that notify you after a defined session duration, helping you keep track of how long you've been playing.
We signpost external help including Talian Kasih 15999 (Malaysia) and GamCare for players who need independent professional support.
