Our Story
rde1996 was founded by a team of gaming enthusiasts who had first-hand experience of what Malaysian players were missing: a platform that truly understood the local market. Too many international platforms offered clunky payment integrations, slow customer service, and odds that did not reflect the sports Malaysians actually cared about — Liga Super Malaysia, EPL weekends, UFC fight nights, and live football.
We set out to change that. Building rde1996 from the ground up, we prioritised instant DuitNow and FPX deposits, real-time Asian Handicap odds, and a live casino experience that streams smoothly even on a mobile connection in Petaling Jaya or Penang. The platform you see today is the result of continuous improvement driven entirely by player feedback from across Malaysia — from Shah Alam to Johor Bahru.
We believe gambling should be entertaining, transparent, and responsible. That is why rde1996 invests heavily in fair-play technology, responsible gambling tools, and a support team that is available every hour of every day. Whether you are placing your first sports bet or you are a seasoned live dealer regular, rde1996 is built to serve you well.
