Merchant9 VIP Rewards — Level Up & Enjoy Greater Privileges
This page covers everything you need to know about how the merchant9 VIP Rewards programme works — from the entry tier all the way to the top, how benefits change at each level, and how every ringgit you deposit counts toward your next upgrade. All information here is specific to Malaysian users.
Five VIP Tiers & Distinct Benefits
Every new account starts at Regular Tier. Your cumulative deposits automatically accumulate points that determine your current VIP tier. Here's a full overview of all five tiers at merchant9.
Cumulative deposits start from RM 0. Access to all games, standard deposits and withdrawals.
Ideal for new users who have just registered and want to explore the platform.
Unlocked once cumulative deposits reach the required amount. Weekly cashback of 0.3% on slots and table casino games.
The one-time tier upgrade bonus is credited instantly once Silver status is confirmed.
Weekly cashback increased to 0.7%. Withdrawal processing times are faster compared to Silver and Standard tiers.
Exclusive birthday rewards are available from Gold tier and above.
Weekly cashback of 1.1%. Dedicated VIP customer support with a priority line and faster response times.
Priority withdrawals — requests are processed earlier in the daily queue.
Highest weekly cashback rate at 1.5%. A personal account manager available for direct contact to handle your specific needs.
Event invitations and exclusive offers not available to any other tier.
VIP tier is calculated based on total cumulative deposits within the review period. All valid deposit methods — FPX, Touch 'n Go, DuitNow — are counted equally with no exceptions.

Key Terms in the VIP Programme
Before you start calculating your journey to Diamond Tier, there are a few terms worth understanding so you know exactly what counts and what doesn't.
- Cumulative Deposit
- The total of all deposits you have made into your merchant9 account throughout the review period. This is different from your current balance — it counts everything that has come in, not what remains in your account.
- Cashback
- A percentage of your total net weekly losses returned to your account. For example, if your net losses for the week are RM 500 and you are at Gold tier (0.7%), you receive RM 3.50 credited back on Monday.
- Tier Upgrade Bonus
- A one-time reward credited directly to your balance the first time you reach a new VIP tier. This bonus does not repeat — it is awarded once per tier upgrade only.
- Review Period
- The interval the system uses to calculate and re-verify your VIP tier. Your tier can move up when cumulative deposits reach a new threshold.
How to Make the Most of Your VIP Status While Watching Sports
Platinum and Diamond VIP users on merchant9 enjoy added perks during major sporting seasons. Here is how the VIP programme ties in with the sports experience on the platform.
Gold tier VIP users and above receive early notifications on special odds launched during the Malaysian Super League finals, high-stakes EPL matches, or Thomas Cup games. These notifications are sent through the platform before the odds go live for regular users, giving you more time to plan.
One of the most appreciated VIP cashback benefits kicks in during disappointing match seasons — when your favourite team underperforms. The weekly cashback automatically returns a portion of your net losses, with no application required and no extra conditions to meet.
Deposit for Sports Betting, e-sports wagering, and gaming online casino all counted toward the same cumulative deposit total. Users who are active across multiple sections of the platform can reach higher VIP tiers faster than those who use only one section.
VIP users can check the latest match schedules directly from their account dashboard. The Sports Betting section displays upcoming fixtures by league and date, letting you plan your betting activity for the week ahead without having to look up information elsewhere.
Deposit & Withdraw — Step by Step
How to Deposit and Accumulate VIP Points
Open merchant9 via your browser or app and log in. All deposit functions are accessible directly from the main dashboard after a successful login.
Select the "Deposit" tab or button on your dashboard. You'll be shown a list of payment methods available to Malaysian users.
Choose from FPX (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB), Touch 'n Go eWallet, or DuitNow. Enter the amount in MYR that you wish to deposit.
Complete the payment in your banking app or portal. Your balance is credited to your merchant9 account within minutes, and the deposit counts directly toward your VIP points.
After depositing, go to the profile or VIP section in your dashboard to view your current cumulative deposit total and how far you are from the next tier.
Payment Methods & Processing Times
| Method | Deposit Time | Withdrawal Time | Minimum Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| FPX (Maybank, CIMB) | Instant — 5 minutes | 1 — 3 hours | RM 30 |
| Touch 'n Go eWallet | Instant — 3 minutes | 1 — 4 hours | RM 20 |
| DuitNow | Instant — 5 minutes | 1 — 3 hours | RM 30 |
Platinum and Diamond VIP members get priority in the daily withdrawal processing queue, meaning their requests are handled earlier within the same time slot.

VIP vs Standard Bonus — What's the Difference?
Many users wonder why VIP status matters when new deposit bonuses already exist. The answer lies in a fundamental difference between a one-time bonus and ongoing benefits.
Regular Deposit Bonus
- Awarded once during a specific deposit event (e.g., first deposit)
- Usually subject to a wagering (rollover) requirement before withdrawal is allowed
- Fixed value — does not increase over time
- Not linked to your tier or activity history
- Expires once used; wait for a new promotion to become available
merchant9 VIP Rewards
- Recurring weekly benefit that keeps coming back (cashback)
- The longer you stay active, the higher your tier and the greater your rewards
- No rollover requirement for cashback — credited directly to your balance
- Additional perks (priority withdrawals, birthday rewards) that accumulate by tier
- Personal account manager at Diamond Tier for dedicated assistance

Frequently Asked Questions About the VIP Programme
No, you don't. Every registered merchant9 account is automatically enrolled in the VIP Rewards programme from day one. There's no separate form, no special sign-up, and no minimum deposit to join — you start at Regular Tier and advance automatically once your cumulative deposits reach each tier's threshold.
VIP cashback is calculated based on net losses over the seven-day period ending each Sunday at midnight. The eligible cashback amount is then credited to your account balance on Monday within the designated timeframe. You can check your expected cashback amount from the VIP profile page in your merchant9 account dashboard at any point during that week.
After logging in to your merchant9 account, go to your profile section or the account icon at the top corner. There you'll find a tab or section labelled "VIP" or "Rewards" showing your current tier, cumulative deposits, and how much more is needed to reach the next tier.
