How do you check an online casino licence?
A logo isn't proof. Five steps to test a casino's licence claim.
SHORT ANSWER
Find the regulator's name and licence number, then confirm them on the regulator's official register, not on the casino's site. Match the company name with the site's terms. If there is no number to check, treat the licence as unconfirmed.
What are the five steps to check a licence?
- Find a named regulator. The text should name a licensing body, not just show a logo.
- Find a licence number. A number makes checking possible.
- Confirm it on the official register. Open the regulator's site directly, not through a casino's link.
- Match the entity. The company on the licence should match the site's terms.
- Check test certificates. A genuine certificate can usually be checked with the lab that issued it.

Does a foreign licence make it legal in Malaysia?
Not necessarily. A foreign licence permits operation under that regulator's jurisdiction, and it doesn't override Malaysian law. Read about the legal position in Malaysia.
