Account

Registering a 138 account is free and takes less than 3 minutes. Click the "Register" button at the top of the website, fill in the required details including your full name, phone number, email address, and password. After completing all fields, you will receive a confirmation SMS or email. Enter the OTP code to activate your account. Once active, you can log in and start exploring all available games.

The KYC process requires the following documents:
  • Malaysian identity card (MyKad) — front and back
  • A selfie with your MyKad (for identity verification)
  • Recent bank statement (not older than 3 months) for bank account verification
The review process is typically completed within 1 to 2 business days. KYC verification is required before you can make your first withdrawal.

No. Each user is only permitted to hold one active account. Registering multiple accounts violates the 138 platform's Terms and Conditions and may result in all associated accounts being suspended and balances forfeited. If you are experiencing issues with an existing account, please contact our customer support team for assistance.

Log in to your account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Security". Click "Change Password", enter your current password, then your new password and confirm it. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it via email or SMS. Make sure your new password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

To close your account, please contact our customer support via live chat and submit your request. Make sure you withdraw all remaining balance before the closure request is processed. Account closure takes 3 to 5 business days. Note: a closed account cannot be reopened — you will need to register again if you wish to use the 138 platform in the future.

Deposit

The 138 platform accepts a variety of deposit methods including:
  • Local bank transfer (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong, AmBank)
  • FPX (Financial Process Exchange)
  • Digital wallets such as Touch 'n Go eWallet and GrabPay
  • Deposit via bank counter and ATM
  • Selected cryptocurrencies
All deposits are processed automatically and credited to your account within minutes.

The minimum deposit is MYR 30 for most payment methods. The maximum limit depends on the chosen method — standard bank transfer allows deposits of up to MYR 50,000 per day, while digital wallets may have lower limits subject to each provider's policy. For higher limits, you may contact our customer support team for adjustments based on your needs.

Deposits are usually processed automatically within 5 to 15 minutes. If your deposit has not been credited after 1 hour, please contact our customer support with the following details: transaction date and time, amount, payment method, and transaction reference number (if available). Our team will review and resolve the issue promptly.

Withdrawal

Withdrawals are typically processed within 15 minutes to 2 hours on regular business days. Requests made on weekends or public holidays may take slightly longer — usually completed within 4 to 6 hours. Once approved by our finance team, the credit time to your bank account depends on your bank, but generally does not exceed 1 business day.

138 does not charge any processing fees for standard withdrawals via local bank transfer. Cryptocurrency withdrawals may incur a small network fee (gas fee) depending on network conditions at the time of the transaction. There are no hidden charges — the amount you enter is the amount you receive.

A withdrawal may be rejected for several reasons, including:
  • KYC incomplete or not yet verified
  • Bonus wagering requirements have not been met
  • Bank account details do not match the 138 account holder's name
  • Request exceeds the daily withdrawal limit
  • Suspicious account activity requires additional review
In all cases, you will receive a notification with the reason for the rejection. Contact our support team for further clarification.

Bonus & Promotions

The welcome bonus is automatically credited to your account once you complete your first qualifying deposit. No special promo code is required. The bonus amount you receive depends on your first deposit amount — the higher the deposit, the larger the bonus you qualify for, up to the set maximum. Check the Promotions to view the latest offers and applicable terms.

Wagering requirements vary by bonus type. Generally, the welcome bonus requires a rollover of 5x to 10x the bonus amount before it can be withdrawn. For example, if you receive a MYR 100 bonus with an 8x rollover requirement, you need to place bets totalling MYR 800 before that bonus is eligible for withdrawal. Full terms for each promotion are listed on our Promotions page.

138's weekly cashback is calculated based on your net losses over the week. This means that if you win on some bets and lose on others, only the net loss amount will be used in the cashback calculation. The cashback percentage and maximum cap are subject to current promotion terms. Cashback is typically credited automatically every Monday.

Security

138 uses 256-bit SSL encryption to protect all data transmitted between your device and our servers. Your personal information is stored on servers secured by multi-layered firewalls and intrusion detection systems. We comply with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and will never share your data with third parties without your consent. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.

Log in to your account and go to "Account Settings" then "Security". Select "Enable Two-Factor Authentication" and choose your preferred method — either via SMS to your registered number or an authenticator app. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation. Once enabled, every login from a new device will require an OTP code as an additional security layer.

Contact our customer support immediately via live chat and report the situation. Our team will freeze your account right away to prevent any further unauthorized activity. You will be required to verify your identity via KYC documents before account access is restored. We also recommend changing the password of the email address linked to your 138 account to ensure complete security.

Games

138 offers a comprehensive range of game categories:
  • Sports: Wager on a wide range of sports including football, basketball, tennis, and more with competitive odds
  • Live Betting: Place bets while the match is in progress in real time
  • Bingo: Interactive bingo games with multiple rooms and exciting prizes
  • Live Casino: Live dealer table games including baccarat, blackjack, and roulette
  • Slots: Hundreds of slot games from the world's leading providers

Yes, some slot and casino games on the 138 platform offer a demo mode that lets you play for free using virtual credits. It's a great way to understand how a game works before you're ready to play with real money. However, any wins in demo mode cannot be converted to real money or withdrawn.

Odds on the 138 platform are displayed in decimal format by default, which is easy to understand. For example, odds of 2.50 mean that if you bet MYR 100 and win, you will receive MYR 250 (including your original stake). The simple formula is: Payout = Bet Amount × Odds. You can also switch the odds format to Hong Kong or Malay format according to your preference via the platform settings.

Everything You Need to Know About the 138 Platform

Platform 138 has been operating for years as one of Malaysia's most trusted online betting destinations. With over 500,000 active members nationwide, 138 continues to grow by delivering a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming experience to every user. This FAQ page was created specifically to address the most common questions asked by both new and existing members.

Security is a common concern for new users — and it is a fair question. Is this platform truly safe to use? The answer is yes. Every transaction at 138 is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption, the same security standard used by leading banking institutions worldwide. Your personal data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

A Seamless Registration and Login Experience

Many wonder how complicated it is to register a new account on an online betting platform. At 138, the entire process can be completed in under 3 minutes. You only need to provide basic information such as your full name, an active Malaysian phone number, an email address, and a strong password.

After registration, you will receive a verification code via SMS or email to activate your account. This step is an important security measure to confirm that the phone number and email registered genuinely belong to you. Once your account is active, you can explore all available games even before completing KYC — however, KYC must be completed before your first withdrawal.

Fast Deposits with Multiple Payment Options

One of the platform's key advantages 138 is the ease of depositing. Unlike some platforms that only accept one or two payment methods, 138 supports a wide range of options including direct bank transfers to all major Malaysian banks, FPX, Touch 'n Go and GrabPay digital wallets, and cryptocurrency for users who prefer greater privacy.

The low minimum deposit of MYR 30 makes this platform highly accessible, especially for those who are new and want to try it out. Most deposits are processed automatically and credited to your account within minutes without any manual intervention, meaning you won't have to wait long to start playing after making a deposit.

Fast and Reliable Withdrawals

Slow or delayed withdrawals are among the most common complaints associated with online betting platforms in general. At 138, we understand the importance of fast withdrawals and have invested in an efficient payment processing infrastructure. Standard withdrawals are processed within 15 minutes to 2 hours on regular business days.

To ensure your withdrawal is processed without issues, make sure three things are in order: first, your KYC is complete and verified; second, your bank account name matches the name registered on your 138 account; and third, any applicable bonus requirements (rollover) have been fully met. Once all three conditions are satisfied, your withdrawal will be processed smoothly every time.

Transparent and Fair Bonuses and Promotions

138 offers a wide variety of bonuses throughout the year — from welcome bonuses for new members, weekly cashback for loyal members, to special promotions tied to major sporting events such as the World Cup, Champions League, and international basketball tournaments. Every promotion comes with clear terms, openly displayed on the Promotions .

We often hear complaints from users about other platforms that have hidden and confusing bonus terms. At 138, we are committed to full transparency. Rollover requirements, bonus expiry dates, eligible games, and all other details are clearly stated before you accept any bonus. If you have any questions about a promotion's terms, our support team is ready to provide further clarification.

Responsible Gaming Is Our Priority

138 believes that wagering should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress. That is why we provide a range of self-control tools within the user account, including daily and weekly deposit limits, loss limits, playtime limits, and the option to self-exclude temporarily or permanently from the platform.

If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related problems, we encourage you to seek help. Visit the Responsible Gaming for more information on responsible gambling resources available in Malaysia. Remember — having fun is important, but playing responsibly matters even more.
