ace96 was founded in 2016 by a team of Malaysian gaming industry veterans who shared a single frustration: the best online casino and sports betting platforms available to Malaysian players at the time were either unreliable, slow to pay out, or simply built without the local player in mind. Withdrawal requests sat pending for days. Customer support was offshore and unhelpful. Payment options ignored the everyday tools Malaysians actually use — Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, Maybank, CIMB, and FPX weren't even on the menu at most platforms.
"We built ace96 because we were frustrated players ourselves. If we wanted a platform we'd actually trust with our money, we had to build it ourselves."
So the founding team got to work. The early ace96 platform launched quietly — just sports betting, a handful of live casino tables, and a lean support team based right here in Malaysia. But word spread quickly. Players in Kuala Lumpur noticed the difference in odds quality. Those in Penang appreciated that FPX withdrawals actually landed same-day. The community in Johor Bahru gravitated toward our Mix Parlay coverage of EPL weekends and Liga Super Malaysia fixtures.
By 2019, ace96 had grown to serve tens of thousands of registered players. We expanded the slots library to over a thousand titles, introduced live dealer tables with real-time streaming, and built out dedicated sections for UFC betting and international football. The platform moved to a more robust infrastructure stack that year — load times dropped significantly, and uptime hit a consistent 99.9%.
The years that followed brought further milestones: a full cryptocurrency payment gateway (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC), a structured VIP loyalty programme with four tiers, and a responsible gambling toolkit that has since helped thousands of players set healthy limits on their gaming activity. Today, ace96 serves over 500,000 registered players from Shah Alam to Petaling Jaya to every corner of the Malaysian peninsula — processing more than RM 4 million in daily payouts through verified Malaysian payment channels.
The mission hasn't changed since day one: to deliver the fairest odds, the fastest payouts, and the most player-centred gaming experience available to Malaysian players. And we're still just getting started.
