Check a casino payment before sending

Payment convenience is not proof of licensing. Trace the recipient, legal context and reversibility first.

Payment rail ≠ licence

PayNow sends SGD through FAST using identifiers such as a mobile number or UEN. That convenience does not identify a gambling licence or guarantee reversibility.

Before sending

  1. Match the recipient. Record the displayed name, UEN or phone identifier before confirming.
  2. Match the operator. The payment beneficiary should not conflict with the entity disclosed for the exact domain.
  3. Check the local rule. GRA states Singapore Pools is the only licensed remote-gambling operator.
  4. Preserve the trail. Save the amount, timestamp, reference, chat and destination without sharing full credentials publicly.
