online Casino gambling is legal in malaysia (more or less)
Thanks to the two comments and further explanations from the tech guys in my class I finally conclude that gambling online in Malaysia is legal (somewhat) :)
Because you can fund your PayPal account via your credit card and most online casinos accept PayPal to start up an account. It's like prepaid credits. When funding your PayPal with credit card, there will be no records or indication in the credit card that the money is used for online casinos as PayPal will be the middle man.
This makes it hard for anyone to be caught but I think officially it may still be classified as illegal gambling. I remember seeing the TV News for crackdowns of Malaysians caught in online betting during the football fever. Still, I haven't heard of anyone arrested for playing poker online on his home computer :)
