Built in Malaysia, for Malaysians. Here's the story behind the platform, the people who run it, and the values that keep us honest at every table.
Texas189 was founded in 2018 by a small group of gaming industry veterans who had spent years working across Southeast Asian markets — from Kuala Lumpur to Macau to Cebu. The founding team shared one frustration: most online casino platforms available to Malaysian players were built elsewhere and adapted poorly for the local market. Currency conversions were clunky, payment options were limited to international methods, and customer support was offshore and slow.
The answer was to build something from scratch — a platform engineered specifically for the Malaysian experience. That meant native MYR support, instant deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, and Public Bank right out of the gate. It meant a live support team that speaks English, Bahasa Melayu, and Mandarin. It meant odds on Liga Super Malaysia alongside the EPL, UFC, and international basketball — not just European-centric markets.
Six years on, Texas189 has grown into one of the most recognised names in Malaysian online gaming. From players in Petaling Jaya grabbing a quick slots session on mobile, to serious football bettors in Johor Bahru tracking their in-play accumulators, to high-rollers in Bangsar joining our Diamond VIP tables — the platform serves a diverse and loyal community of over 850,000 registered members.
We are not the biggest brand with the loudest advertising budget. We have grown primarily through word of mouth, player retention, and a consistent record of paying out winnings quickly and transparently. That reputation took years to build and remains our most valuable asset.
Every decision we make at Texas189 — from the games we choose to stock, to the withdrawal systems we build, to the way our support team is trained — comes back to one central question: does this serve the Malaysian player better?
Every product decision starts with one question: what does the Malaysian player actually need? We do not add features to look impressive — we add them when they make a real difference to your experience.
All game RTPs are published. Bonus terms are stated clearly in plain English — no small print buried under confusing conditions. Wagering requirements are listed at the point of offer acceptance, not after.
We built our withdrawal infrastructure around the Malaysian market's expectation of speed. Most payouts complete in under 5 minutes via e-wallet. Platform uptime is monitored 24/7 by our technical team.
256-bit SSL encryption across all transactions. All casino game outcomes are generated by certified RNG systems. We do not manipulate results and we maintain strict audit trails for all financial operations.
We take problem gambling seriously. Texas189 provides deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion tools, and links to professional support. Our platform is strictly for players aged 21 and above.
From MYR-native currency to Malaysian payment methods and local sports markets — Texas189 is genuinely built for Malaysia, not simply adapted for it. We understand how players in KL, Penang, and JB actually use our platform.
Your entire Texas189 account operates in Malaysian Ringgit — deposits, bets, winnings, and withdrawals. No FX conversion, no surprise fees, no currency confusion. What you see in your balance is exactly what you get.
For verified accounts using e-wallets (Touch 'n Go, Boost, GrabPay) or DuitNow, withdrawals typically complete in under 5 minutes — around the clock, including Malaysian public holidays.
Real human agents — not bots — available 24 hours a day in English, Bahasa Melayu, and Mandarin. Average live chat response time is under 5 minutes, because your question matters right when you ask it.
Full odds coverage on Liga Super Malaysia, the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UFC, NBA, and more — with Asian Handicap, Over/Under, and live in-play markets updated in real time.
Two-factor authentication, 256-bit SSL across every connection, and a dedicated fraud team monitoring unusual activity around the clock. Your account and funds are protected to the same standard as online banking.
From Silver entry tier all the way to Diamond, every bet earns you progress. Rewards include weekly cashback up to 5%, priority withdrawals, dedicated account managers, and exclusive member events.
Texas189 is run by professionals who genuinely understand the Malaysian gaming market. Our core departments are based in Kuala Lumpur, with specialist teams for payments, security, and game operations.
Responsible for selecting and maintaining the game library, ensuring RTP accuracy, and designing the player experience across all device types.
Manages all Malaysian payment integrations — from Touch 'n Go eWallet and DuitNow to Maybank, CIMB, and FPX — and oversees payout processing speed and accuracy.
Operates 24/7 fraud monitoring, handles KYC verification, and maintains platform security infrastructure. All flagged activity is reviewed within 4 hours.
Our frontline support team handles live chat, email, and WhatsApp queries in three languages — averaging under 5 minutes response time across all channels, all day, every day.
Malaysia is not a single market — it is a collection of cultures, languages, and communities. Players in Shah Alam have different schedules and preferences from players in Penang or Johor Bahru. Texas189 was built to serve all of them without compromise.
Our platform is mobile-first, because most Malaysian players access online gaming from their phones — on the commuter train, during lunch, or watching a live Liga Super Malaysia match on a second screen. Every feature we build is tested on low-bandwidth connections first, because we know that not every player is in Bangsar with fibre-speed Wi-Fi.
We also take responsible gambling seriously as a local obligation — not just a box-ticking exercise. The social context of gambling in Malaysia is real and nuanced. We enforce a strict 21+ age requirement at registration, offer deposit limits and session reminders, and maintain a dedicated page on responsible gambling with references to Malaysian support resources. If gambling stops being fun for any of our players, we want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
Over 850,000 Malaysian players have already made Texas189 their platform of choice. Join them — from just RM30. Strictly 21 and above only. Please play responsibly.
