1 Introduction
Welcome to STM88 (hereinafter referred to as "the Platform", "we", "us", or "our").
STM88 operates an online sports betting and casino gaming platform accessible at
https://stm88.lat and its associated subdomains and mobile interfaces.
These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement
between STM88 and any individual (hereinafter "User", "Player", or "you") who registers
an account, accesses, or otherwise uses the Platform in any capacity.
By creating an account or placing any wager on the Platform, you unequivocally acknowledge
that you have read these Terms in their entirety, that you understand their contents,
and that you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with any provision contained
herein, you must immediately cease using the Platform.
⚠️ Important Notice for Malaysian Users: Online gambling is subject to
specific legislation in Malaysia, including the Betting Act 1953 and the Common Gaming Houses
Act 1953. STM88 does not operate under any Malaysian government-issued gaming licence,
as no such regulatory framework currently exists for online gambling in Malaysia.
It is each player's sole responsibility to understand and comply with applicable local laws
before accessing this Platform. STM88 does not provide legal advice.

4 Account Registration & KYC
Upon completing the registration process, each User is assigned a single Account linked
to their registered email address. The User is solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of their login credentials and must not share their username or password
with any third party.
STM88 reserves the right to request KYC documentation at any stage — including at
registration, prior to processing any withdrawal request, or at any time a transaction
or pattern of activity triggers a review under our AML obligations. Required documents
may include, but are not limited to:
- Proof of Identity: A valid MyKad (for Malaysian residents), passport, or government-issued photo identification document.
- Proof of Address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or official correspondence dated within the preceding 90 days, clearly showing the User's full name and residential address.
- Proof of Payment Method: In certain circumstances, STM88 may request documentation confirming ownership of the deposit method used (e.g., a screenshot of the e-wallet account or bank statement).
- Source of Funds: For high-value transactions or where required by AML policy, documentation substantiating the legitimate source of funds deposited on the Platform.
Failure to provide requested documentation within the timeframe stipulated by STM88
may result in the temporary suspension of withdrawal privileges or, in cases of prolonged
non-compliance, Account suspension. STM88 shall not be liable for any losses arising
from the temporary restriction of Account functionality pending KYC completion.
5 Deposits & Payments
STM88 accepts deposits via a range of Malaysian and internationally recognised payment
methods. Accepted deposit methods include, but are not limited to: Touch 'n Go eWallet,
Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX (Financial Process Exchange), Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks,
Public Bank Online, Hong Leong Connect, USDT TRC20, and Bitcoin (BTC).
The following conditions govern all deposit transactions:
- Minimum Deposit: The minimum deposit amount is RM30 for most Malaysian payment methods. Minimum amounts for cryptocurrency deposits are stated separately at the deposit interface.
- Currency: Deposits are accepted in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR/RM) and, for cryptocurrency transactions, in the denomination of the selected digital asset with automatic conversion applied at the prevailing rate at time of receipt.
- Ownership: All funds deposited must originate from a payment method legally owned and controlled by the registered Account holder. Third-party deposits are strictly prohibited.
- Processing Time: E-wallet and DuitNow deposits are typically credited instantly. FPX bank transfer deposits are typically credited within 5 to 15 minutes. Cryptocurrency deposits are credited following the requisite number of blockchain network confirmations.
- Fees: STM88 does not charge deposit fees for standard Malaysian payment methods. Network fees applicable to cryptocurrency transactions are borne by the depositing User.
- Failed Transactions: STM88 is not responsible for delays or failures caused by the User's bank, e-wallet provider, or any third-party payment processor. Users experiencing deposit issues should contact their payment provider in the first instance, then contact STM88 support if the issue persists.
ℹ️ Note on Cryptocurrency Deposits: Cryptocurrency deposit values are
converted to MYR equivalent at the exchange rate applicable at the time of credited receipt.
STM88 is not responsible for fluctuations in cryptocurrency market value between the time
of sending and the time of crediting.
6 Withdrawals
STM88 aims to process all verified withdrawal requests within 15 minutes for accounts
that have completed KYC verification and hold no pending promotional obligations.
The following terms apply to all withdrawal requests:
- Verification Requirement: Full KYC verification must be completed before any withdrawal request will be processed. Accounts with incomplete or pending verification may experience delayed processing.
- Withdrawal Method Restriction: Withdrawals will only be processed to payment methods that have been previously used to make a deposit on the same Account. This restriction is applied in compliance with AML obligations.
- Minimum Withdrawal: The minimum withdrawal amount is RM50 unless otherwise stated for a specific payment method.
- Bonus Obligation: Any active bonus wagering requirements must be fulfilled before a withdrawal of bonus-related winnings is permitted. Real Money balances may be withdrawn independently of active bonus obligations, subject to the Platform's current withdrawal queue and verification status.
- Right to Review: STM88 reserves the right to delay any withdrawal for the purpose of fraud prevention, AML review, or identity verification. Users will be notified of any such delay and its anticipated resolution timeframe.
- Forfeiture: STM88 reserves the right to forfeit any balance — including Real Money deposits — where evidence of fraud, collusion, system exploitation, or provision of false information is established following investigation.
7 Bonuses & Promotions
STM88 offers a range of promotional incentives to registered players, including but not
limited to welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, cashback offers, birthday bonuses, referral
rewards, and VIP tier benefits. All promotions are subject to the following general terms,
in addition to any promotion-specific terms communicated at the point of offer:
- Eligibility: Bonuses are available only to eligible registered accounts. STM88 reserves the right to restrict bonus eligibility based on Account status, verification level, jurisdiction, or promotional history.
- Wagering Requirements: Unless expressly stated otherwise, all bonus funds are subject to wagering requirements before withdrawal of associated winnings is permitted. The applicable multiplier (e.g., 10x, 18x, 35x) will be clearly stated on each individual promotion page.
- One Bonus at a Time: Users may not hold more than one active welcome bonus simultaneously unless the promotion expressly permits combination with other offers.
- Game Restrictions: Certain game categories (e.g., progressive jackpot slots or specific live table games) may contribute less than 100% towards wagering requirement fulfilment, or may be entirely excluded. Applicable contribution rates are stated per promotion.
- Expiry: All bonus funds and associated wagering requirements carry an expiry period, which commences from the time of bonus credit. Expired bonus funds and unmet wagering requirements will be removed from the Account without compensation.
- Abuse Prevention: STM88 employs monitoring systems to detect bonus abuse, including but not limited to: low-risk wagering strategies designed to fulfil rollover obligations while minimising risk, collusion between accounts, and use of multiple accounts to claim the same promotion. Accounts found to be engaged in bonus abuse may have bonus funds voided and may be subject to Account suspension.
- Right to Withdraw: STM88 reserves the right to modify, suspend, or withdraw any promotion at any time without prior notice, provided that any validly accrued bonus obligations in progress at the time of withdrawal will be honoured.
⚠️ Responsible Bonus Use: Bonuses are designed to enhance your entertainment
experience. STM88 strongly advises against wagering beyond your personal financial means
in pursuit of meeting wagering requirements. For players aged 21 and above only.
