Best Badminton Betting Sites in Indonesia 2026

Indonesia and Badminton

No country has won more Olympic gold medals in badminton than Indonesia. That record spans decades and covers men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. Badminton is not simply a sport Indonesians follow — Indonesia produces the champions, and that distinction shapes how betting on it works here.

Indonesia's strength in doubles is where the betting gets specific. Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, known as The Minions, held the men's doubles world number one ranking for years and are consistent Super 1000 finalists. Fajar Alfian and Mohammad Rian Ardianto won men's doubles Olympic gold in Paris, giving Indonesia two elite men's doubles pairs competing at the top of the world rankings at the same time. When a major draw opens, Indonesian players are regularly in multiple quarters of the doubles draw, which changes how outright markets are read here.

Gregoria Mariska Tunjung is Indonesia's top women's singles player and a world silver medalist. The BWF World Tour regularly features Indonesian names in finals across all three draw types.

The Indonesia Open and Thomas Cup

The Indonesia Open is the peak event of the badminton betting year for Indonesian players. Held in Jakarta each June as a BWF World Tour Super 1000, it draws the full world top 10 and generates the heaviest betting volume of any tour stop. Home crowd, home players in late rounds and the full field in attendance. Outright prices on Indonesian players shorten quickly after the first two rounds — better prices are found before the draw takes shape.

The Thomas Cup, held every two years in May, is where national pride runs highest. Indonesia has won the Thomas Cup more times than any other nation, and in Thomas Cup years the outright market attracts serious early backing from Indonesian players. Country-versus-country format means betting follows team form rather than individual draw luck.

The All England Open in March holds strong historical significance for Indonesia and is followed with the same attention as a home event. The Malaysia Open in January draws strong Indonesian interest given the rivalry with the neighbouring country's players. The BWF World Championships in August and the Olympic Games sit above all tour stops when they arrive.

Badminton Betting Markets in Indonesia

• Match winner: Back a specific player or pair to win. Kevin Sanjaya, Marcus Gideon, Fajar Alfian and Rian Ardianto all attract heavy match winner backing at every Super 1000 event.
• Tournament outright: Pick the winner before the draw begins. Indonesian players draw outright interest across men's doubles, women's singles and mixed doubles. Having two top doubles pairs in the same draw creates specific value in outright markets.
• Game handicap: One player starts with a game advantage. Used when an Indonesian player faces a top seed from China or Denmark in a lopsided matchup.
• Correct score: Predict whether the match ends 2-0 or 2-1. Popular during the Indonesia Open when home players are strong favourites and a 2-0 clean win is expected.
• Total points in a game: Bet over or under a points line for a specific game within the match.

How to Bet on Badminton in Indonesia

• Check the legal position before depositing. Gambling is prohibited under Indonesian law and no online sports betting licence is issued domestically. Every sportsbook EightOdds recommends holds an international offshore licence. Review your own situation before depositing.
• Confirm the sportsbook covers the Indonesia Open. Not all sportsbooks list match markets for every BWF Super 1000. Check that Indonesia Open game-level markets are available before registering, not just outright winner markets.
• Register using your exact e-wallet name. Your sportsbook account name must match your GoPay or OVO registered name exactly. A mismatch will block withdrawals until both accounts are verified.
• Deposit via GoPay or OVO. Both are accepted at most sportsbooks EightOdds recommends for Indonesian players. Deposits are processed in IDR and arrive instantly. DANA and LinkAja are accepted at select sportsbooks as alternatives.
