Q&A With Samuel

How do you start verifying a new online lottery platform?

I begin with a structured checklist covering licensing, company details, and responsible gaming measures. I specifically look for local compatibility, testing account creation and key platform features to confirm if claims regarding payment methods like PayNow, PayTrust88, and GrabPay are actually functional and secure.

What sources do you cross-check during fact-checking?

I rely on official regulator databases, operator disclosures, independent audit reports, and direct platform testing. I also verify the integration of reputable software providers such as Evolution Gaming, Playtech, and Pragmatic Play to ensure game fairness. Primary sources always come first, supported by additional verification where needed.

How do you handle conflicting information during verification?

I document the discrepancy carefully, capture evidence, and contact the platform for clarification. If the issue remains unresolved, I clearly note it so players in Singapore understand the potential risks before they sign up.

What principle guides your work the most?

Accuracy and transparency. Every claim should be verified, sources should be clear, and readers should always understand how conclusions were reached to ensure a safe gaming experience.
