Inside Casino Malaysia editorial policy

The Inside Casino Malaysia editorial policy is simple: every fact on the site links to a named source, with the date it was published and the date we checked it. We prefer official sources, say plainly when none exists, take no payment for coverage, and never link to online casinos.

How do we source facts?

Every figure, date, age limit, price, rule or legal section on Inside Casino Malaysia comes from a register of facts that we keep for the whole site. Each entry records the claim, the source, the source’s publication date, the date we checked it, and our confidence in it. On the page, the fact carries a numbered link to its source, and the full source list appears at the bottom.

We look for sources in this order:

  1. The law itself: Acts and Enactments from the Attorney General’s Chambers and state portals.
  2. Operators and regulators: Resorts World Genting, Magnum, Sports Toto, Da Ma Cai, Singapore’s ministry and regulator.
  3. Company filings and results, such as stock exchange and SEC releases.
  4. Established news and trade press.
  5. Travel guides and forums, only when nothing better exists, and always named as such.

How do we rate confidence?

Each fact is rated high, medium or low:

RatingMeaningHow we write it
HighRead in full from an official or primary sourceStated as fact, with the source linked
MediumReliable secondary source, or an official source we could only partly readStated with the source named where it matters
LowTravel blog, forum or a single unconfirmed reportAttributed and dated (“reported by a travel blog”), never presented as official policy

When we cannot find any source for something readers want to know, such as official minimum bets at the Genting casino, we say “unconfirmed” or “not officially published” instead of guessing.

What happens when sources disagree?

When sources conflict, we show both and say which one we trust more and why. For example, if an operator’s website and its stock exchange filing give different table counts, we quote the filing and mention the rounded figure from the website.

How often are pages updated?

Every page shows the date it was last updated. We re-check facts when we revise a page, and the source list shows the check date for each one. Fast-changing facts, such as which Genting casino floors are open, get their own tracker page.

Who writes and reviews the content?

The Inside Casino Malaysia editorial team writes and fact-checks every page. Content is written for this site from the sources, not copied, and we check new pages against their sources before publishing.

What will we never publish?

Inside Casino Malaysia will never publish online casino links, gambling app or bonus pages, Malay gambling guides, workarounds for legal or religious restrictions, or claims that gambling makes money.

  • Links to, or recommendations of, online casinos, betting apps or offshore operators.
  • Pages promoting gambling apps or sign-up bonus offers.
  • Gambling guides in Malay. Our Malay pages explain the law only.
  • Workarounds for legal or religious restrictions, such as ways for Muslims to enter a casino.
  • Claims that gambling is a way to make money.

Do we accept payment?

No, Inside Casino Malaysia takes no paid placements, sponsored reviews or affiliate commissions from casinos or gambling operators, and no operator sees a page before it is published. The site shows no advertising today. If that changes, we will label it clearly and update this policy.

How do we correct mistakes?

If we get something wrong, we fix the page, update its date, and correct the fact in our register so every page that uses it changes at the same time. To report an error, see the contact page.

Responsible gambling

We write about gambling for adults who choose to gamble legally. Our guides mention age limits and self-exclusion where they apply, and our responsible gambling page lists Malaysian helplines. More about the team is on the about page.
