Ranked and Rated Online Lottery Sites in Malaysia

This guide ranks the online lottery sites that accept players from Malaysia by our score. When fewer than three accept Malaysia, the top 3 board shows our overall top 3 instead, and its label says so.

We have not verified yet whether the law in Malaysia allows buying lottery tickets from sites abroad. Check the rules where you live before you buy, and only spend what you can afford to lose.

Malaysia governs gambling under the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, cited as Act 289. Malaysia governs lotteries under the Lotteries Act 1952 (Act 288). Malaysia's local currency is the Malaysian Ringgit, so prices from Singapore sites reach a Malaysian player after conversion.

Panel Questions

Online lottery in Malaysia: questions

Which lottery sites accept players from Malaysia?

We list the lottery sites we rank whose terms accept players from Malaysia, in order of our score. A site whose terms exclude Malaysia is left out. Sites change their country lists, so check again when you sign up. How we score sites is on how we rank.

Is it legal to play the lottery online from Malaysia?

The gambling law we hold for Malaysia is the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953 (Act 289). We have not verified a rule on buying lottery tickets from sites abroad for Malaysia yet, so check the law where you live before you buy.

Malaysia sets its lottery rules in the Lotteries Act 1952 (Act 288). Malaysia's gambling law and its lottery law are separate Acts. Our guide to buying lottery tickets explains each step of an online purchase.

What currency will I pay in from Malaysia?

Your local currency is the Malaysian Ringgit. Big foreign draws set their prices and prizes in their own currency: US dollars for Powerball and Mega Millions, euros for EuroMillions and Eurojackpot. If you pay in another currency, the exchange rate and any card conversion fee change what a line costs you.

Does the site I buy from change my odds?

No. The odds are set by the draw, not by the site. What differs between sites is the price per line and the fees, so compare those rather than the jackpot. Most lines win nothing; see responsible gambling for limits and help.

Who do I complain to if a site does not pay?

Every site we rank shows the licence it holds. A complaint about a payment or a prize goes to the site first, then to the body that licenses it, so check that licence before you deposit.

A fake prize site has no licence to complain to. Read our lottery scams guide before you trust an unfamiliar site.

Set the spend before you pick the numbers.

Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
