E-Sports Terms You Should Know Before You Start
- Odds (Payout Rate)
- Odds represent the payout ratio for each bet. Odds of 2.50 mean a RM 10 stake returns RM 25 if you win — including your original RM 10. The lower the odds, the stronger that team is considered to be and the more likely they are to win.
- Handicap (Match Advantage)
- Handicap betting applies when two teams are unevenly matched. The weaker team is given a head start — for example, +1.5 maps — meaning they are considered to have won the bet even if they lose one map in the actual match.
- Live Betting (In-Play)
- Bets placed while a match is actively underway. Odds shift in real time based on in-game developments, giving attentive bettors the chance to make more informed decisions based on current momentum.
- Map Win
- In e-sports titles like CS2 and Valorant, matches are played across multiple maps. Map Win betting lets you pick the winner of each individual map, rather than just the overall match result.
- Pre-Match (Before the Match)
- A bet placed before the match begins. Pre-match odds tend to be more stable than live odds, since team information — such as the starting lineup and recent form — is already known in advance.
- Tournament
- Esports tournaments are major competitions that bring together teams from around the world. At rm40, you can follow betting for flagship events like The International for Dota 2 and the Majors for CS2, held throughout the year.
Top Five Esports Titles to Follow at rm40
Dota 2 is one of the most popular e-sports titles in Southeast Asia, with a large and dedicated fanbase in Malaysia. The International draws millions of viewers every year and offers extensive betting opportunities across every stage of the tournament. Teams from the Asia-Pacific region are frequent fan favourites among local supporters.
MLBB dominates the mobile gaming market in Malaysia, backed by a highly active community of both players and viewers. The annual M-Series championship brings together the best teams from Southeast Asia and is the most-watched esports event on local platforms. Malaysian players can follow betting on both professional league matches and international tournaments through rm40.
Counter-Strike 2 has replaced CS:GO as the new benchmark for competitive shooters. Major-tier CS2 matches bring together the world's top teams and offer over 20 betting markets, including map wins, round totals, and individual player performance. Live betting during the match adds an extra layer of excitement for active viewers.
Valorant has grown rapidly within Malaysia's younger e-sports community since its launch. The VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) runs a regional league featuring Asia-Pacific teams throughout the year. Valorant's map-based match structure opens up a wide range of betting markets that set it apart from more traditional titles.
LoL remains one of the most-watched e-sports in the world, with the Worlds championship held every year-end. Teams from Korea, China, and Europe dominate the international stage, while the Southeast Asian regional league brings competitive action closer to Malaysian viewers. Odds for LoL Worlds matches tend to be highly active, with notable market movement throughout.

The Most-Followed Matches Among Malaysian E-Sports Fans
The International Tournament — Dota 2
The International is Dota 2's premier annual tournament and the largest prize pool event in esports history. Teams from the Asia-Pacific region — including those with Malaysian players — regularly contend for the top spots, making this one of the most anticipated events in the Malaysian community. Pre-tournament betting for The International typically opens several weeks before the event, with odds shifting in line with each team's recent performance.
During tournaments, rm40 offers live betting for every major match. Users can follow the action via live stream and make betting decisions based on each team's real-time momentum.
MPL Malaysia and M-Series — Mobile Legends
The Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) Malaysia is one of the most active e-sports leagues in the region, with a consistent match schedule throughout the year. Teams like BTR and RSG competing in MPL enjoy strong support among younger Malaysian fans. MPL Malaysia betting is available through the rm40 E-Sports section during the active league season.
The M-Series is MLBB's international championship, pitting MPL champions from each country against one another. Malaysia consistently sends competitive representatives to this tournament, making every Malaysian match relevant and worth following on rm40.
Things to Check Before Placing an Esports Bet
- Check the team's recent form — results from their last 5 matches give a good early read on current momentum.
- Make sure the official starting lineup has been confirmed — the absence of a key player can significantly shift the balance of power between teams.
- Understand the match format — whether it's Bo1 (best of one), Bo3, or Bo5, as the format affects which bet types are available.
- Compare odds at rm40 against past head-to-head results between the same two teams to judge whether the current odds truly reflect their relative strength.
- Set your betting limit before you open the betting page — this helps you avoid impulsive decisions once the match is underway.
- For live betting, make sure your internet connection is stable — odds move fast, and a delay can cause you to miss the window you were aiming for.
- Check match schedules in advance — some esports matches run late into the night due to European or American time zones, so plan accordingly.
- Use a verified rm40 account before match day to ensure your deposit and bets are processed without any technical issues.
