Who We Are

Built for Malaysia. Trusted by Thousands.


City88 was founded in 2019 with a straightforward ambition: to create an online gaming platform that truly understands the Malaysian market. Not just in terms of payment options or game variety — but in the sense of genuinely respecting what Malaysian players value: reliability, speed, fairness, and a customer experience that feels personal rather than transactional.

From our early days serving players in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, City88 has grown into one of Malaysia's most recognised online casino and sports betting destinations. Today, our platform is trusted by players across Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and every corner of the country — from serious EPL punters running multi-accumulator bets to casual slot enthusiasts spinning their favourite titles after work.

Our growth has been built on a foundation of transparency, responsible operations, and constant improvement. We listen to our community, iterate on our platform based on real feedback, and invest heavily in the payment infrastructure that Malaysian players depend on — from DuitNow and FPX to Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, and GrabPay. When you win at City88, getting your money back is never a question.

Our Mission

What Drives Us Every Day


Our mission is simple: deliver an online gaming experience so reliable, fair, and enjoyable that City88 becomes the first and only platform Malaysian players ever need.

"We exist to give every Malaysian player — from the high-roller in Bangsar to the football bettor in Ipoh — access to a world-class gaming platform that is fast, transparent, and genuinely fun. We believe entertainment and integrity are not opposites. City88 proves that every single day."

— The City88 Leadership Team

What We Stand For

Our Core Values


These values are not just words on a page — they shape every product decision, every customer interaction, and every policy we put in place at City88.

Integrity First

We operate with full transparency in everything we do — from odds and RTP disclosures to clear, jargon-free bonus terms. Players deserve honesty, and that is what they get at City88.

Speed & Reliability

Whether it is a live football bet placed seconds before kick-off or a withdrawal request at 2 am, City88's infrastructure is engineered to be fast, stable, and consistent — every time.

Player Wellbeing

Responsible gambling is not an afterthought at City88. We provide proactive tools — deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — because we genuinely care about our players' long-term wellbeing.

Community Focus

City88 was built around the Malaysian gaming community. Our promotions, support team, and product features are all shaped by direct feedback from real Malaysian players — not generic global templates.

Data Security

Your personal and financial information is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. We never sell, rent, or share your data with unauthorised third parties — full stop.

Continuous Improvement

The online gaming landscape evolves fast. City88 invests continuously in new games, better payment integrations, platform performance, and customer service training to stay ahead.

Our Journey

From Startup to Trusted Platform


City88's growth has been steady and deliberate. We did not chase rapid expansion at the cost of quality — instead, we focused on getting the fundamentals right and earning the trust of every Malaysian player who chose to join us.

2019
City88 Launches

City88 opens its doors to Malaysian players with an initial catalogue of 150 slot titles, a live casino suite, and support for Maybank and CIMB bank transfers. First players join from Kuala Lumpur and Penang.

2020
Sports Betting & FPX Integration

The full sportsbook launches, covering EPL, Liga Super Malaysia, and major international markets. FPX and DuitNow payment integrations reduce deposit times to under 60 seconds for most players.

2021
Mobile Platform Overhaul

A complete rebuild of the mobile experience makes City88 fully playable on iOS and Android without an app download. Live football in-play betting launches, drawing players from Johor Bahru and Petaling Jaya.

2022
eWallet Payments & VIP Launch

Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, and GrabPay are added as deposit and withdrawal options. The City88 VIP Rewards Programme launches with Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers.

2023

BTC, ETH, and USDT deposit options go live. The game library surpasses 500 titles across slots, live casino, arcade, and lottery. Active player count crosses 50,000.

2024–Present
Continued Growth & Innovation

City88 continues to expand its game catalogue, improve withdrawal speed targets, and strengthen responsible gambling tools — building toward becoming the undisputed leading online casino platform in Malaysia.

Our Commitment

Dedicated to Malaysia


Malaysia occupies a unique position in the online gaming world. It is a country of diverse communities — Malay, Chinese, Indian, and more — spread across a dynamic urban landscape that stretches from the towers of Kuala Lumpur to the heritage streets of Georgetown, Penang, and the bustling commercial districts of Shah Alam and Subang Jaya. City88 was designed to serve this diversity, not ignore it.

Practically speaking, that means our platform supports the payment methods Malaysians already use every day — not just traditional bank transfers but the everyday apps that have become part of Malaysian life: Touch 'n Go eWallet for the player who tops up on the go, DuitNow QR for the tech-savvy Millennial, Maybank and Public Bank for players who prefer familiar names. It means our customer support speaks your language — English, Bahasa Melayu, or Mandarin — and genuinely understands Malaysian context. And it means our sports betting markets give proper weight to Liga Super Malaysia and domestic football alongside the global fixtures.

City88 is also deeply committed to responsible gambling practices. We recognise that while the vast majority of players enjoy online gaming as entertainment, a small number may encounter difficulties. Our platform provides deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and permanent self-exclusion options — all accessible directly from your account settings. We are an adult platform: all players must be 21 years of age or above to register and play. We take this seriously, and our verification processes reflect that commitment.
