Badminton and Malaysia – A Relationship That Goes Beyond Sport
Why oasis88 takes the badminton market seriously for Malaysian fans
Badminton is more than just a sport in Malaysia — it is part of the national identity. Since the era of the Sidek brothers and Rashid Sidek in the 80s and 90s, Malaysia has consistently produced world-class badminton players. Today, names like Lee Zii Jia, Aaron Chia & Soh Wooi Yik, Pearly Tan & M. Thinaah carry that legacy forward in their own right — and every match they play becomes a national event watched by millions of Malaysians.
At oasis88, we understand that Malaysian bettors who follow badminton are no casual fans. They know the intricacies of the game, analyse it set by set, recognise the difference between players who excel on open courts versus air-conditioned indoor arenas, and they track player development from smaller tournaments long before those names make headlines. That depth of knowledge is a real asset, and oasis88 gives you the platform to put it to work through smarter, more effective betting.
Platform oasis88 offers a far more complete range of badminton markets than just "who wins". You can bet on a set-by-set basis, point handicap, over/under total sets, and a variety of live markets as the match unfolds. This opens up an entirely new dimension to how you experience and follow Malaysian badminton — every rally carries weight, every set has value.
Take the Lee Zii Jia vs Viktor Axelsen match as an example. Axelsen is a highly dominant world No. 1, and the odds for Lee Zii Jia are usually long whenever the two meet. But Malaysian bettors who closely follow Lee Zii Jia know he is capable of upsetting the world's best — their head-to-head record is far closer than the world rankings suggest. When you bet on oasis88 with that knowledge, you already have an edge over bettors who rely on rankings alone.
In the men's doubles category, Malaysia has no shortage of consistently rising pairs. Aaron Chia & Soh Wooi Yik — bronze medallists at the Tokyo Olympics — are a proven pair capable of competing at the very highest level. Whenever they enter a BWF Super Series event, the markets on oasis88 draw serious attention from bettors who know their actual form versus the general perception.
"I've been betting on badminton for nearly 5 years. The main difference with oasis88 compared to other platforms is how fast and accurate the live markets are — during a match, the odds move almost in sync with what's actually happening on court."

The Thomas Cup is another tournament that Malaysian bettors are deeply passionate about. Unlike individual tournaments, the Thomas Cup involves betting on national teams — and for Malaysians, that means supporting the country in a much more intense setting. oasis88 offers a full range of markets for every Thomas Cup tie, covering bets on the overall tie result (across 5 matches) right down to the outcome of individual matches within that tie.
