**Licence not verified:** 12BET says it holds a Curaçao licence, but it publishes no licence number we could check on the regulator's register, as of 30 September 2026. Until it is verified, AsianBookie does not recommend this site.
12BET is one of the longest-running Asian bookmakers still operating. Founded in 2007, it built its name with Premier League sponsorships, from Hull City's shirts to a long-running deal with Leicester City, and today serves players across Asia, including Malaysia and India, with a sportsbook, live casino and slots.
This 12BET review covers what the site offers Malaysian players, how to register and log in safely, the welcome bonus, how it scores on our 12-point method, and where it falls short.

Licence number not shown in the details we could find; 12bet.com still refers to Curaçao's old Gaming Control Board2016 dispute over voided winnings and closed accountsPayment methods and withdrawal times for Malaysia aren't published in detailNo verified app details for Malaysia; mobile site is the safe routeLicence. 12BET states that it is licensed in Curaçao, and Wikipedia names the operator as Pexcellent Services Ltd B.V. Since December 2024, Curaçao has moved to a new system where each operator needs its own licence from the Curaçao Gaming Authority. Check the footer of the site you use for a current licence number and validation seal.
The 2016 Cheltenham dispute. After the 2016 Cheltenham Festival, 12BET voided a number of winning bets and closed customer accounts, citing bonus abuse. Following a public backlash it apologised and agreed to refund 75% of the affected customers. Isle of Man police looked at the allegations but did not open a criminal investigation. The episode is ten years old, but it's a reminder to read bonus terms carefully.
Sponsorship track record. Premier League clubs, including Leicester City (from 2016/17, extended for 2024/25) and West Bromwich Albion (2017/18), have partnered with 12BET, along with earlier deals at Sevilla, Hull City and Wigan Athletic. They show a long, public presence in mainstream sport, though they are not a substitute for a licence.

Malaysia issues no online betting licences, and the Court of Appeal ruled in 2023 that online gambling is an offence under the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953. Muslims are also barred from gambling under state Syariah law. 12BET is licensed offshore; check the law that applies to you before you play.

Sports betting is where 12BET started, and it is still the core of the site. The sportsbook covers football, basketball, tennis, cricket and esports, including the Asian handicap and over/under football markets most Malaysian bettors use.
12BET quotes Asian handicap and over/under lines on football as standard, alongside 1X2, and covers basketball, tennis, cricket, esports and badminton. We have not measured its margins, so compare its price with AsianBookie's odds pages before larger bets: on a RM500 stake, a difference of 0.05 in the odds is RM25.
The 12BET casino offers live dealer tables hosted by professional dealers, plus keno and lottery-style games. The casino sits in the same account and wallet as the sportsbook, so you can move between them without a second registration.
12BET slot games come from several third-party providers in one lobby. Check each slot's RTP in its info panel before you play, because providers often release the same game at different RTP settings. If you're new to a game, try it in demo mode first where available. See our slot online Malaysia guide. Beyond the sportsbook, the 12BET casino covers live casino tables, slot games, keno and lottery on the same account, so punters can switch from a football bet to casino games without moving money between wallets.
New Malaysian players can claim a 100% first-deposit bonus up to MYR 300. Deposit RM300 and you play with RM600. Before you opt in, read the terms on 12BET's promotions page for: Rollover (wagering): how many times you must bet the deposit and bonus before withdrawing. · Minimum odds: bets below a set price often don't count towards the rollover. · Eligible products: whether casino and slots count, or only the sportsbook. · Time limit: how many days you have to complete the rollover. This matters at 12BET in particular: its biggest public dispute, in 2016, was over winnings voided for alleged bonus abuse. Know the rules before you claim. The 12BET welcome bonus for Malaysia is 100% up to MYR 300. Before you opt in, check the wagering requirement, the minimum odds that count towards it, and whether casino games and sport bets clear it at the same rate.

12BET accepts Malaysian Ringgit, so you can deposit and withdraw without currency conversion. Payment options in the cashier can vary by account; confirm which local methods (such as online banking or e-wallets) are available to you, the minimum deposit and the withdrawal time before you deposit. Always pay to the account shown inside the 12BET cashier, never to a personal bank account given in a chat.
12BET also serves India, with INR accounts and support in Bengali and Telugu as well as English. It has promoted India-specific offers alongside its Leicester City partnership, including an INR 8,500 bonus for the 2024/25 football season. Gambling law in India differs from state to state, so Indian players should check the rules that apply where they live.

12BET app and APK download: if 12BET offers an app for your region, download it only from a link inside the official site or your logged-in account. Avoid "12bet download apk" files from third-party websites or messaging apps; modified APKs are a common way to steal login and banking details.

12BET's criteria add up to 74 out of 100, but because its licence is not verified the score is capped at 70, and AsianBookie does not recommend it. It is an established name with nearly two decades of operation, real-world sponsorships and a full sportsbook and casino in MYR, and its 24/7 multilingual support is a genuine strength. It loses points for thin public detail on its current licence number, Malaysian payment options and table limits, and its 2016 dispute is a reason to read every bonus condition.
If you still choose 12BET, it fits Malaysian bettors who want a long-standing brand with strong football and badminton coverage. Register through the official site, verify your account early, and start with a small deposit to test withdrawals. Compare it with other bookmakers in our Malaysia sportsbook directory.
