About NILS
NILS is a small, independent editorial team. We check the licences behind well-known online casino brands and explain, for readers in Malaysia, what those licences do and do not cover. We do not promote gambling, and we never send readers to a casino.
Why NILS exists
Malaysian readers who search for an online casino meet a wall of review sites ranking casinos, quoting bonuses in ringgit and showing licence badges. Many of those sites earn a commission on every sign-up. Few of them say clearly that Malaysia licenses no online casino, or that a famous brand's licence was issued for another country's customers.
We started NILS to give the honest answer instead. Licensing regulators such as the UK Gambling Commission publish public registers that show exactly who holds a licence, what it covers and which web addresses it applies to. Read carefully, those records are the best tool a reader has for seeing through a copied brand name or an expired licence number.
Who writes the pages
Pages are written and checked by the NILS editorial team, and we sign our work as a team. The standards every page must meet are on our editorial method page. We have no ownership link to any casino operator, affiliate network or regulator, and no connection with any earlier owner or use of this web address.
What we cover and what we do not
We currently cover twelve brands that Malaysians search for or see advertised: 12Play, 1xBet, 96M, bet365, BK8, Dafabet, LeoVegas, Maxim88, me88, Mr Green, Stake and W88. The licence comparison lines up the three UK-licensed brands side by side, and our football guides cover the Premier League, Harimau Malaya and the Malaysia Super League for fans in Malaysia, without betting content. We also explain Malaysian gambling law in plain words, show how to spot a scam casino site and list free help for anyone harmed by gambling. We do not test casino accounts, games or payments, and we do not publish offers or ratings. Nothing on this site is legal advice or encouragement to gamble.
