598 Live Matches — Real-Time Sports Betting for Malaysian Users
This page explains how to use the Live Matches section on 598 — covering the types of sports available, how to read live betting markets, the steps to register an account, and deposit methods using Malaysian local payment options.
What's the difference between Live Match and regular betting?
Many users new to Sports Betting platforms don't realise there's a significant difference between pre-match betting and live (in-play) betting. Understanding the distinction helps you choose the approach that best suits your style and preferences.
| Aspect | Live (In-Play) Matches | Pre-Match Betting |
|---|---|---|
| Betting Time | While the match is in progress, in real time | Before the opening whistle |
| Odds Changes | Changes every minute based on match developments | Fixed once bet is confirmed |
| Market Type | Next goal, red card, corners, half-time winner | Overall winner, final score, both teams to score |
| Information Requirements | Requires active match-watching for quick decisions | Make decisions based on pre-match statistics |
| Excitement Level | Highly interactive, high-adrenaline, perfect for sports fans | More relaxed, suited for players who prefer to plan ahead |
At 598, both betting types are available on the same platform. You can start with pre-match betting to get familiar with the system, then move on to live betting once you feel more confident.
What is it like to watch a match and bet at the same time?
A live betting experience unlike the rest
Live match betting on 598 delivers a far more dynamic experience than regular pre-match betting. Picture yourself watching a Malaysia Super League football match — the moment the home side earns a corner kick, you can place a bet on the next goal within seconds. Odds update automatically based on what is happening on the pitch, keeping them relevant at every stage of play.
This is very different from placing a bet before a match and waiting for the final result. With live betting, every moment in the match becomes a new opportunity. Players who keep track of stats and team form can use this to their advantage, making more informed decisions as the game unfolds.
The most popular sports for live betting in Malaysia
Based on local user interest, football remains the top choice, with the Malaysia Super League and AFC Cup matches drawing the highest engagement. Badminton has seen strong growth, especially during the Malaysia Open and the Thomas & Uber Cup. Field hockey, tennis, and esports are also gaining traction among younger users on the platform.
Five steps to start betting on live matches
The process is the same whether you're new to the platform or already familiar with online betting.
Open your phone or computer browser and go to 598.bio. Click the "Live Match" menu to browse sports and matches currently in progress or coming up. You don't need to log in just to view the match listings, but logging in is required to place any bets.
Click the "Register" button and fill in the form with your name, email address, and phone number. Verification is simple and quick. If you already have an account, go ahead and go to the registration page or log in directly to continue.
Go to the deposit section in your account and select your preferred payment method. Touch 'n Go eWallet and Boost are the fastest options for Malaysian users. Enter the amount you wish to deposit and confirm the transaction by following the on-screen instructions.
In the Live Matches section, select the sport you are interested in. Click on a match to view all available markets — from match winner and handicap to total goals and specialised markets like first red card or corners within a set time period. Each market displays live odds that are continuously updated.
Once you've selected your market and entered your stake, review your bet slip before confirming. After confirmation, your bet is recorded and you can follow the match live through the real-time statistics display provided by 598.
Is the betting experience better on mobile or desktop?
The 598 Live Matches platform is built with a mobile-first approach, meaning the smartphone experience is every bit as good as on desktop. The in-play betting board displays odds in a format that is easy to read on a small screen, with buttons large enough to tap without accidentally selecting the wrong option.
Android users can get a more focused experience with download the official 598 app, which offers match start notifications, odds change alerts, and an interface optimised specifically for live betting. The app runs on most Android phones released from 2018 onwards and does not require high-end specs.
What about slow internet connections?
598 uses lazy-loading technology and data compression to ensure the Live Match page loads smoothly even on a 3G connection or unstable network. Odds and match statistics are updated incrementally without requiring a full page reload, saving your data and delivering a smoother experience.
Which browser works best?
Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS deliver the best performance. Keep your browser updated to the latest version to ensure all interactive features work properly, including real-time odds display and score change animations.

What many users tend to overlook
Notifications and odds updates in the official app
Many users don't realise that official 598 app sends push notifications when a match you've bookmarked is about to kick off within 15 minutes. This is especially handy if you can't monitor the match schedule all day but don't want to miss a betting opportunity.
In addition, the official app reflects odds changes more responsively than a standard web browser, letting you react faster in live betting situations where odds shift quickly.
To enable notifications, go to account settings in the app and turn on "Match Alerts" and "Odds Updates". You can select specific sports only to avoid being flooded with notifications.
