ong66 started in 2017 with a straightforward belief: Malaysian players deserve better. At the time, most online casino and sports betting options available locally were either poorly localised platforms built for other markets, or fly-by-night operators with inconsistent payouts and zero customer support. We saw the gap and decided to fill it.
"We didn't want to build the biggest platform in the world. We wanted to build the most trusted one in Malaysia — and we're still working on that every single day."
The founding team behind ong66 was made up of Malaysians who had spent years in the gaming and fintech industries across Kuala Lumpur and Penang. They understood the local landscape intimately — which banks Malaysians use, which payment apps are part of daily life, which football leagues matter most on a Saturday evening, and what "good customer service" actually means in this market.
From day one, ong66 was built to operate in MYR, with deposit channels like Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and FPX as core infrastructure — not optional add-ons. Support agents were hired locally and trained to respond in English, Bahasa Melayu, and Chinese, because that's who our players are.
Today, ong66 serves over 500,000 registered players across Malaysia — from busy professionals in Petaling Jaya betting on EPL match nights, to retirees in Johor Bahru who enjoy a quiet game of live baccarat, to football fans in Shah Alam following Liga Super Malaysia. The platform has grown significantly since 2017, but the founding principle hasn't changed: put the Malaysian player first, always.
