**Licence not verified:** SBOTOP's Isle of Man licence was surrendered in May 2025, and we could not confirm which company and licence now cover its Malaysian site, as of 30 September 2026. Until it is verified, AsianBookie does not recommend this site.
SBOTOP is the sister brand of SBOBET, one of Asia's best-known sportsbooks since 2004. Football fans know the name from Premier League shirts: SBOTOP was Leeds United's front-of-shirt sponsor from 2020 and has been on Fulham's shirts since the 2022/23 season. For Malaysian bettors, SBOTOP offers SBOBET-style Asian handicap odds, live betting on more than 1,500 events a week, a casino with Evolution and Asia Gaming tables, and MYR payments through FPX and DuitNow.
This SBOTOP review finds the sportsbook and payments still strong, but 2025 was a turbulent year for the brand's regulation. Its Isle of Man operator, Celton Manx, surrendered its licence in May 2025, was fined £3.9 million by the Isle of Man regulator for anti-money laundering failures in July, and applied to be dissolved in October. This review explains what that means for players.

In Asia, SBOBET has been licensed through the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority and First Cagayan in the Philippines.

In Asia, SBOBET has been licensed through the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority and First Cagayan in the Philippines.
The SBOTOP brand has continued. Its logo remained on Fulham's shirts after Celton Manx's exit, and SBOTOP-branded sites continue to serve Asian markets. AsianBookie's current listing cites First Cagayan and the Tobique Gaming Commission. We could not confirm which company now operates SBOTOP for Malaysian players, or a current licence number.
Our view: SBOTOP's sportsbook heritage is strong, but the Isle of Man regulator's findings and the operator's exit mean you should treat it with more caution than its brand recognition suggests. Check the licence and operator shown on the site you use before depositing, keep balances modest and withdraw regularly.

No online casino or bookmaker holds a Malaysian licence. Gambling is governed by the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953 and the Betting Act 1953, which license only land-based operators, lotteries and Genting. In October 2023 the Court of Appeal ruled that online gambling is an offence under the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, and the authorities regularly block offshore gambling domains. Muslims are barred from gambling under Syariah law. Domain blocking is why players search for "SBOTOP link", "SBOTOP new link" and "SBOTOP link alternatif".

The sportsbook is SBOTOP's main strength, built on the SBOBET group's long experience in Asian betting:
SBOBET-group odds are widely followed in Asia, which makes SBOTOP useful for comparing prices. Check AsianBookie's odds pages before placing big bets.

SBOBET-group odds are widely followed in Asia, which makes SBOTOP useful for comparing prices. Check AsianBookie's odds pages before placing big bets.
SBOTOP's prices come from the SBOBET group, whose Asian handicap and over/under lines many Asian bookmakers follow, which makes them a useful reference point. The margin, the bookmaker's built-in cut, is usually lowest on major football handicap and totals markets and wider on smaller leagues and specials. Before a larger bet, compare SBOTOP's price with AsianBookie's odds pages: on a RM500 stake, a difference of 0.05 in the odds is RM25.

The casino is solid but smaller than at dedicated casino brands.
SBOTOP's casino games are a secondary offer next to its online betting platform: slot games, live dealer tables and arcade games share the same account as the sportsbook, and payment options include Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards as well as FPX, DuitNow and e-wallets.

When an address is blocked, players search for an "SBOTOP link", "SBOTOP new link" or, in Indonesian, "SBOTOP link alternatif" (alternative link). Many of these pages are run by affiliates or copycats. The safest way to get a new link is to ask SBOTOP live chat or WhatsApp from a device where you are already logged in, or to use the official app.

SBOTOP's criteria add up to 76 out of 100, but because its licence is not verified the score is capped at 70, and AsianBookie does not recommend it. As a sportsbook, it still delivers what made the SBOBET group famous: sharp Asian handicap odds, strong live betting on more than 1,500 events a week, and a lightweight site that is quick on mobile. FPX and DuitNow payouts are fast, the 15x sports bonus is fair, and the VIP rebates reward regular players.
It loses points because of 2025's regulatory problems. Celton Manx, which ran SBOTOP from the Isle of Man, surrendered its licence in May 2025, was fined £3.9 million for anti-money laundering failures, and is being dissolved. The brand continues in Asia, but we could not confirm who operates it for Malaysian players today. If you still choose SBOTOP, it fits experienced football bettors who value SBOBET-style odds. Check the operator and licence shown on the site you use, keep balances small and withdraw regularly. For operators with a clearer licence, compare it with our sports betting guide.
