TF Gaming Esports Review 2026: Licence Check, Games and Live Betting
Short answer: TF Gaming is an esports betting book that appears in the Esports lobby of Malaysian online casinos, covering titles such as Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike and Mobile Legends. A GLI certificate names Bowenhills Tech Inc, doing business as TF Gaming, but on 21 October 2026 we found no gambling licence for it on any public register we could check. Our testers have not bet on TF Gaming yet.

Who runs TF Gaming, and what we could check
TF Gaming, written TFGaming on its own site and 雷火电竞 in Chinese, sells an esports sportsbook to online casinos rather than taking bets from players itself. Its Chinese site says it has operated since 2017; the English site gives no year and names no company. The test lab Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) publishes a certificate for Bowenhills Tech Inc, doing business as TF Gaming. On 21 October 2026 we searched for both names on the Curaçao, Isle of Man, UK, Anjouan and Tobique registers and found no gambling licence. A GLI certificate shows that the software was tested against technical standards; it is not a licence.
Esports titles and bet types
GLI's certificate, dated 11 August 2023 and valid until the end of April 2027, lists 27 titles under TF Gaming's esports betting games. They include Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike (listed as CSGO), Mobile Legends, Valorant, King of Glory, Arena of Valor, Wild Rift, PUBG, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, Overwatch, StarCraft II and FIFA. TF Gaming's own pages promise pre-match and in-play markets and name parlay and outright bets, but they do not list individual bet types or odds formats. Its site also shows separate lootbox games, such as CS:GO Defuse and LOL Draft, which it calls provably fair; these are games of chance, not bets on real matches.
Live betting, and how TF Gaming sits inside a casino
TF Gaming's site puts in-play betting first: it advertises a wide choice of in-play markets, fast settlement and a system it says doubles betting speed. It does not mention live video streams. Casinos plug TF Gaming in through an iframe or an odds API, and its site lists multiple languages, currencies and wallet types. In practice TF Gaming prices the matches and settles the bets, while the casino holds your balance, sets your stake limits and pays out. A problem with a withdrawal therefore goes to the casino, not to TF Gaming, which does not deal with players directly.
What this means for a player in Malaysia
Esports betting at a Malaysian-facing casino usually means TF Gaming's book running inside the casino's Esports lobby, on the same wallet as its slots and sports. Online betting is not licensed in Malaysia, so no Malaysian body takes complaints, and with no licence found for TF Gaming the casino's own terms are the only rules you can point to. Esports results can also be affected by things that rarely happen in ordinary sport, such as game patches, remakes and server problems, so read how a void or a replayed map is settled before you bet. TF Gaming says its product works on PCs, phones and tablets.
What our testers will check
Hands-on testing has not started, and nothing on this page comes from our own bets. When our testers do bet through TF Gaming at the casinos we review, they plan to record which titles have markets on a normal weekday, which odds formats the lobby offers and whether Malay odds are among them, how long an in-play bet takes to be accepted on a Malaysian mobile connection, how voided or replayed maps were settled, and the lowest and highest stakes each casino allows. Until then, this review reports only what TF Gaming and GLI publish, as checked on 21 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is TF Gaming legit?
TF Gaming is a real esports betting supplier: the test lab GLI lists a certificate for Bowenhills Tech Inc, doing business as TF Gaming, valid until April 2027. That shows its betting software was tested. It is not a licence, and on 21 October 2026 we found no gambling licence for TF Gaming on the public registers we checked. Check the licence of the casino you play at as well.
Who owns TF Gaming?
GLI's certificate names Bowenhills Tech Inc, doing business as TF Gaming. TF Gaming's own site names no company, address or owners, so we could not confirm where Bowenhills Tech Inc is registered.
Is 雷火电竞 the same as TF Gaming?
Yes. 雷火电竞 is the Chinese name TF Gaming uses on its own site, and TFGaming is how the English site writes it. Whichever name you see in a casino's Esports lobby, it is the same esports book.
What esports can I bet on with TF Gaming?
GLI's certificate lists 27 titles, including Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Mobile Legends, Valorant, King of Glory, Arena of Valor, Wild Rift, PUBG, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, Overwatch, StarCraft II, FIFA and NBA 2K. Not every title has matches open for betting at any given time.
Does TF Gaming have live betting?
Yes. TF Gaming advertises pre-match and in-play markets and puts in-play betting at the centre of its product. Its site does not mention live video streams of the matches.
What are TF Gaming lootbox games?
They are short esports-themed games made by TF Gaming, such as CS:GO Defuse, LOL Draft, Dota 2 Treasure and KOG Draw. TF Gaming calls them provably fair, meaning each result can be checked against its algorithm after the round. They are games of chance and have nothing to do with the result of a real match.
Which casinos have TF Gaming?
The table further down this page lists the casinos we review that name TF Gaming among their game providers. A casino can change esports providers at any time, so its own Esports lobby is the place to check which one it runs today.
Is esports betting allowed in Malaysia?
Online betting, including on esports, is not licensed in Malaysia, so no Malaysian body takes complaints about it. Casinos that offer TF Gaming to Malaysian players are licensed, if at all, abroad.
