Get an exclusive first deposit bonus when you sign up at 1998rich. This page covers how to claim it, the key terms, and which games are eligible — so you know exactly what you're getting before you start.
Know exactly what you're getting — before you sign up.
Your first deposit is matched up to 100% — meaning if you deposit RM 100, you start with RM 200 in your account. Maximum bonus amounts vary depending on the current promotion.
The bonus can be used for sports betting such as football and badminton, as well as live casino games including blackjack and roulette. Each game contributes at a different rollover rate.
The bonus must be used within 7 days of being credited. After this period, any unused bonus balance will expire automatically with no exceptions.
Before withdrawing any winnings earned from the bonus, you must meet the rollover requirement. The rollover ratio and full terms can be reviewed at terms of use page.
A simple process — completable in under 10 minutes from your phone.

Five aspects that are often overlooked — but important to know before you play.
Many new players don't realise that the bonus credited is bonus credit, not pure cash. These funds can be used for betting but cannot be withdrawn immediately. Only after the rollover requirement is met can winnings derived from the bonus be converted into withdrawable balance. Understanding this distinction will save you from any surprises when attempting an early withdrawal.
Not all deposit methods allow bonus activation. At 1998rich, deposits via FPX, Maybank2u, Touch 'n Go eWallet and DuitNow are generally eligible for the welcome bonus. Deposits made through certain methods such as credit cards or third-party digital wallets may not qualify — check during the deposit process for confirmation.
Not all games contribute equally to bonus rollover. Sports Betting typically counts at full rate, while blackjack and roulette may only count partially due to their higher return-to-player (RTP) rates. Games not on the eligible list won't contribute toward the rollover requirement, regardless of whether you win.
If you do not use the bonus within 7 days, it will expire automatically. Your original deposit remains in your account, but the bonus is forfeited. Plan your betting activity in advance so you can make full use of the bonus credit before it runs out.
The Welcome Bonus can only be claimed once — at the time of your first deposit as a new member. This is different from reload bonuses or weekly promotions available to existing members. Once you've claimed this first bonus, future offers can be found under "Promotions" in your account, subject to eligibility and activity.

| Offer Type | Who Is Eligible | Active Period | Eligible Games | Claim Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | New members only | First deposit | Sports, Casino, Slots | One-time only |
| Reload Bonus | All active members | Every deposit | Promotion-dependent | Recurring |
| Weekly VIP Cashback | VIP members only | Every Monday | All games | Recurring by tier |
| Public Holiday Bonus | All members | Specific date | Slots & casino | Based on promotion |
Many new 1998rich members overlook the fact that the welcome bonus needs to be manually activated when making a deposit — it will not be credited automatically if you do not select the promotion during the deposit window. Make sure you check the "Welcome Bonus" box before confirming your first payment.
Any withdrawal made before the rollover requirement is met will result in the entire bonus balance being forfeited — even if you only withdraw a small amount. If you think you may need to withdraw early, contact support first for clarification.
To read the full terms including rollover requirements, withdrawal limits and the list of eligible games, refer to the full terms and conditions document before registering.
Four real usage patterns commonly seen among new Malaysian members.
Players from Selangor and Johor often register during the Malaysia Super League season or ahead of major EPL fixtures. They use the bonus to explore new sports markets without risking their own money upfront.
New members who haven't played blackjack or roulette before use bonus credits to practise at low-stakes tables. This lets them get comfortable with the interface and rules without the pressure of risking a large bankroll.
Players from rural areas who are more cautious with their spending often start with the minimum deposit and make full use of the bonus match. This approach lets them evaluate the platform without a large financial commitment.
Some strategically-minded new members use bonus credits to meet the wagering requirements needed to advance to a higher VIP tier more quickly. This gives them access to weekly cashback and VIP programme perks in a shorter timeframe.
The 1998rich platform is fully optimised for mobile — the bonus can be claimed and used entirely from your smartphone, no computer needed. Whether you're in Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Johor Bahru, or Penang, the registration and deposit process runs smoothly on a standard internet connection.
Android users can download the app directly from the 1998rich website. iOS users access a fully optimised web browser version. Both platforms offer full access to the promotions section, including the welcome bonus.
If you run into any issues during registration or don't see the bonus option in the deposit window, reach out to support via live chat — available every day and accessible directly from your account's main page.
