Ask any Malaysian which sport the nation is most proud of, and badminton will almost certainly be part of the answer. From the legendary era of the Sidek brothers, Razif and Jalani, to the current generation led by Lee Zii Jia and men's doubles pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik — badminton has become deeply woven into the Malaysian spirit. That's why NextBet dedicates more attention and broader coverage to this sport than any other platform in the local market.
At NextBet, we know that Malaysian badminton fans are far more than casual spectators. You follow every shift in the BWF rankings, know who's in form, and can break down match strategy from head-to-head records alone. That's a real edge when it comes to betting — and NextBet gives you the platform to put that knowledge to full use.
In terms of coverage, NextBet covers over 50 BWF tournaments every year — from the most prestigious Super 1000 events like the Malaysia Open, Indonesia Open, and All England, all the way down to Super 500, Super 300, and international team events such as the Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, and Sudirman Cup. This means there is almost always a badminton match to follow and bet on at NextBet, week after week.
What truly sets NextBet apart in badminton is the depth of markets available for every match. Most betting platforms only offer basic markets like "who wins" — but at NextBet, you can bet on far more specific aspects of the game. For a men's singles match, for example, you can bet on who wins the first set, whether the match goes to three sets, the total points in a particular set, and much more. For doubles matches, our markets include additional options that reflect the dynamics of each pairing.
NextBet's live betting feature for badminton is among the most advanced in Malaysia. You can place bets while a match is in progress — which is especially relevant for badminton, where momentum can shift dramatically within a matter of points. Imagine watching Lee Zii Jia battle it out at the Malaysia Open and you can see he's in full momentum in the second set, leading 15-10. That's the perfect moment to place a live bet on Zii Jia to take the set, at odds that may still offer solid value.
NextBet also understands how important it is to stay on top of the latest news before you place a bet. Factors like injuries, fatigue from a heavy tournament run, or a sudden shift in doubles partnership strategy can have a significant impact on match outcomes. That's why we encourage players to use every piece of information available before making a decision — rather than relying on rankings alone.
For deposits and withdrawals, NextBet keeps things simple for Malaysian players. You can deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, Boost, ShopeePay, or FPX through Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, and other local banks. The minimum deposit is just RM20 and processes in seconds — faster than it takes Lee Zii Jia to score his first point in a match!
For badminton fans looking to get more out of their experience, NextBet's VIP programme offers excellent value. Every badminton bet you place counts toward advancing your VIP tier — and with each tier comes higher weekly rebates, more generous deposit bonuses, and more flexible betting limits for the big matches. The more you bet on badminton tournaments at NextBet, the more value you earn back.
BWF rankings are updated weekly after each tournament.

Top Malaysian players who are frequently in the spotlight for betting at NextBet
The odds above are estimates for illustration purposes. Actual odds depend on live match conditions.
Head-to-head records are often the best indicator. For instance, despite Viktor Axelsen's higher ranking, Lee Zii Jia has beaten him in several key encounters. Always check the H2H record before placing your bet.
Players competing across 3–4 consecutive tournaments may be carrying physical fatigue. This can affect performance, especially in the later rounds. A packed schedule often throws up surprises in the betting.
Malaysian tournaments like the Malaysia Open and Malaysia Masters give local players a psychological edge. Strong home crowd support is known to influence performance — and this is often reflected in odds that underestimate the home players.
The third set in badminton is the most unpredictable. If you are betting live, a third set that starts level at 5-5 can offer excellent odds value depending on the momentum of the match.
Malaysian doubles pairs — particularly Aaron/Wooi Yik and Pearly/Thinaah — are often priced at odds that offer solid value against the field. Their consistency at Super 500 level and above makes them a compelling pick.
