What Are Live Matches and Why Are They Different?
This is a bet placed before the match kicks off. You pick your team or player, set your stake, and wait for the result. Odds are locked in at the time of the bet and won't change once it's placed. This approach suits those who've done their research ahead of time and want to lock in odds they feel are worth taking.
Unlike pre-match betting, in-play betting lets you make decisions while the action is unfolding. Odds shift with every development — the first goal, a red card, a service break in tennis, all of it moves the odds in real time. It demands quick reactions, but opens up more strategic opportunities based on what's actually happening on the pitch.
At 170, both types of bets are supported on the same platform. You can choose whichever approach suits you best and switch between the two as needed — no need to log out or change platforms.
Most Popular Sports Among Malaysian Players
Football — Local & European Match Action
Football is the heartbeat of sports betting in Malaysia. 170 offers comprehensive coverage of the Malaysian Super League, FA Cup, English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and UEFA Champions League. Every match comes with a wide range of markets — from final results and total goals to Asian Handicap and first goalscorer.
Players can follow real-time stats such as ball possession, shots on goal, and attack map positions while making betting decisions — making the experience far more informed than going on gut feeling alone.
Badminton — The Nation's Sporting Pride
Badminton holds a special place in the hearts of Malaysians, and 170 gives dedicated coverage to tournaments like the All England, Thomas & Uber Cup, and Olympic matches. Bets can be placed on every individual or team match, with odds updated in line with each set's progress.
Cricket & Other Regional Sports
Cricket is gaining ground among younger Malaysian players, especially during the IPL (Indian Premier League) and international fixtures. Other sports such as basketball (NBA and Asian leagues), Grand Slam tennis, and esports are also available for those looking for more variety in their betting options.

Four Malaysian Player Scenarios on This Platform
KTM or MRT commuters in the Klang Valley can follow evening league matches on their phones without needing a dedicated WiFi connection. 170's interface is optimised for smaller screens, with buttons large enough to tap comfortably on the go.
Many Malaysian players treat sports betting as a social weekend activity. With a 170 account accessible on any device, you can share odds insights and make decisions together while watching live matches.
UEFA Champions League and NBA matches often run late into the night by Malaysian time. The 170 platform is active 24 hours a day and supports all international fixtures without interruption, so night-owl bettors can wager without any time restrictions.
Players from Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular Malaysia can all use DuitNow or local bank transfers at no extra charge. Deposits are processed quickly and withdrawals are handled within normal business hours.
Bet From Anywhere — A Mobile-First Experience
Android, iOS & Standard Browser
170 requires no app installation. The platform runs fully through Chrome, Safari, or Firefox on any Android or iOS device — meaning you can get started right away without going through an app store or granting any download permissions.
Optimised for Low Connectivity
Rural areas and travel often mean dealing with unstable 3G connections. The 170 interface is built to load quickly even on low data speeds — odds displays and bet buttons stay responsive without long waits.
Large Buttons, Clear Navigation
The mobile design prioritises comfortable touch targets and one-handed navigation. The main menu is accessible from the bottom of the screen, making it quick to switch between Live Matches, Casino, and Wallet without accidental taps — especially useful when odds are shifting fast during in-play betting.

Security, Your Data, and Game Transparency
SSL Encryption & Account Security
All communication between your device and 170's servers is protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. This means your personal data, payment details, and betting history cannot be accessed by third parties during transmission. The login system supports optional two-factor authentication for an extra layer of protection.
Your password is stored in hashed form — even 170 staff cannot view your original password. If you need to change your password or notice any suspicious access, account recovery is available through your registered email.
Fair Odds & Match Data Integrity
The odds displayed in the Live Matches section are calculated using real-time match statistics from verified sources. There is no manual intervention in odds-setting while a match is in progress — all calculations run automatically based on pre-set algorithms.
Your betting history is saved in the system and can be reviewed at any time via the account page. This lets you look back at results, verify payouts, and track your own betting patterns over time.
