We are more than just a platform — we are a betting partner that understands the needs of local players. Read our story, understand our values, and discover why thousands of Malaysian players choose RioStarz every day.
From a small idea to a platform loved by many
RioStarz was founded in 2018 with one clear goal — to deliver an online betting experience that truly understands Malaysian players. Our founders, a group of entertainment and technology industry professionals, recognised that most platforms at the time were not user-friendly for local users, were difficult to navigate, and often lacked transparency in payment matters.
And so was born RioStarz — with a Bahasa Melayu interface, local customer support, and a payment system tailored to the needs of Malaysians. Not a foreign platform forced into the local market, but one designed from the ground up with Malaysian users in mind.
In less than six years, RioStarz has grown into one of the most recognised names in Malaysia's online betting industry, with over 500,000 registered members actively playing every month. This achievement is no coincidence — it is the result of trust built one step at a time, together with every member who has joined our community.
The founding team launched the first version of the platform with a focus on football and online casino for Malaysian players.
RioStarz added over 20 new sports including badminton, esports, and Formula 1, making the platform more comprehensive for local sports fans.
The RioStarz app for Android and iOS was launched, allowing players to bet anytime and anywhere with ease.
A historic milestone was reached when RioStarz surpassed 500,000 active members, cementing our position as Malaysia's most trusted gaming platform.
RioStarz continues to invest in the latest encryption technology, improved user experience, and more meaningful loyalty programmes for all members.
To provide the safest, fairest, and most user-friendly online betting platform for Malaysians — where every player is respected, every transaction is protected, and every gaming experience delivers real value to our users.
To become Malaysia's number one online betting platform by 2027 — not just in terms of user numbers, but in trust, service quality, and positive impact on the local player community we serve every day.
