The 8400 platform offers betting markets for selected esports matches, allowing Malaysian users to follow match results live and make betting decisions based on an up-to-date schedule.

The platform supports a range of major esports titles popular among Malaysian fans. Here's an overview of the market types and profile for each game:

|---|---|---|---|

These two concepts often confuse new users. Understanding them will help you read markets with greater confidence.
Map handicap means one team is given an advantage or disadvantage in map count before the match begins, in order to balance the betting odds between two unevenly matched teams.
A simple example: Team A -1.5 maps means they need to win 2-0 or 2-1 (in a BO3 format) for your bet to succeed — a 2-1 win alone is not enough if the handicap is -1.5.
Live betting lets you make decisions while a match is in progress. Odds update in real time based on how the game is going — the team currently in the lead will typically have lower odds.
A simple example: If Team B is trailing 0-1 in a BO3 match but you believe they can turn it around, the odds for Team B may be higher at that point compared to before the match started.
Most esports users in Malaysia access the platform via Android smartphones — especially while commuting or relaxing at home. They typically follow local Mobile Legends matches on weekends and international DOTA 2 or CS2 matches on weekday nights.
Users from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Penang tend to be more active in international league matches, given their greater exposure to the global esports community. Meanwhile, users from Johor Bahru, Sabah, and Sarawak show strong interest in MPL Malaysia and Southeast Asian tournaments.
With full Malay language support on the 8400 platform, users of all experience levels can understand markets and make decisions more easily than on platforms that only offer a foreign-language interface.
