Best Badminton Betting Sites in Singapore 2026

How Singapore Follows Badminton

Loh Kean Yew won the BWF World Championships in 2021, making him the first Singaporean to win a world badminton title. That result gave the local market a national moment to point to, even as the Singapore national team competes at SEA Games level rather than the top tier of the BWF World Tour.

Singapore's badminton following draws from more than one community. The South Asian community follows PV Sindhu and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy closely. Singaporeans with a Malaysian connection track Lee Zii Jia and Aaron Chia the way Malaysian bettors do. Indonesian players, including Kevin Sanjaya, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Fajar Alfian, draw regional following from across Southeast Asia, and Singapore is no exception.

The Singapore Open gives local bettors a BWF World Tour event on home soil once a year. Most countries in the region do not have that. A Super 500 event with the world top 10 in attendance, played at home, is why badminton betting stays active in Singapore through the year and not just around major events.

Singapore Open, India Open and Malaysia Open

• Singapore Open (Super 500, annual): The home event. Draws the world top 10 to Singapore and gives local bettors match markets for elite players without following a different time zone. The only BWF World Tour event on Singaporean soil each year.
• Malaysia Open (January, Super 1000): Closely followed given Singapore's connection to Malaysia. Lee Zii Jia and Aaron Chia attract strong attention from Singaporeans with a Malaysian following.
• India Open (January, Super 750): Draws the South Asian community in Singapore, particularly when PV Sindhu and Rankireddy-Shetty are in contention.
• Indonesia Open (June, Super 1000): Kevin Sanjaya, Marcus Gideon, Fajar Alfian and Mohammad Rian Ardianto are well-followed among Singapore's broad regional audience.
• All England Open (March): The most prestigious tour event outside the Olympics. Broadly followed across all communities in Singapore.
• BWF World Championships (August) and Olympic Games: Sit above all tour events when they arrive.

Betting Markets for Singapore Players

Singapore bettors follow multiple nations and draws, which keeps a wide range of markets active across BWF events.

• Match winner: Back a specific player or pair to win. Singapore bettors follow men's singles, women's singles and men's doubles draws across Indonesian, Malaysian and Indian players.
• Tournament outright: Pick the winner before the draw begins. The Singapore Open attracts outright interest from local bettors across all draws. Best prices are found before the first two rounds complete.
• Correct score: Predict whether the match ends 2-0 or 2-1 in games. Pays better odds than match winner because fewer outcomes qualify.
• Game handicap: One player starts with a game advantage. Used when a Chinese or South Korean top seed faces a regional player in the earlier rounds. This is a game-level handicap, not Asian Handicap.
• Total points in a game: Bet over or under a points line for a specific game within the match.

Registering and Depositing in Singapore

• Check the legal position before depositing. Online sports betting is governed by the Gambling Control Act 2022. Singapore Pools holds the domestic sports betting licence but does not list BWF tour events. Every sportsbook EightOdds recommends holds an international offshore licence. Review your own situation before depositing.
• Confirm the sportsbook covers the Singapore Open. Check that Singapore Open match markets are listed, not just outright winners. Look for Indonesia Open and Malaysia Open coverage too before registering.
• Register using your exact PayNow name. Your sportsbook account name must match the name linked to your PayNow-registered phone number or NRIC. A mismatch will delay withdrawals until both accounts are verified.
• Deposit via PayNow. PayNow transfers are instant and processed in SGD via phone number or NRIC. NETS is accepted at some sportsbooks as an alternative. Confirm minimum deposit requirements before registering.
