me88 Singapore
Curacao-licensed Asian casino aimed at two markets that both outlaw it
Not available lawfully hereIs me88 legal in Singapore?
No. Real-money gambling is banned in Singapore. Under the Gambling Control Act 2022, in force since 2022, me88 cannot lawfully offer you a welcome bonus here, and you cannot lawfully claim one.
All online gambling is illegal in Singapore unless licensed by the Gambling Regulatory Authority - in practice only Singapore Pools and the Turf Club. Unusually, liability reaches the player: an individual gambling with an unlicensed offshore site faces a fine and up to six months' imprisonment. source
Any me88 bonus you see advertised for Singapore is offered from an offshore site operating against local law. Your payments can be blocked, your account can vanish with a mirror domain, and no Singapore regulator can help you recover funds. We therefore show no offer and no sign-up link on this page.

Pros
- Games independently certified by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs
- Large catalogue of over 1,000 titles covering slots, live casino, sports, esports and lottery
- Holds a verifiable Curacao Gaming Authority licence, unlike wholly unlicensed operators
Cons
- Targets Malaysia and Singapore, where it is not and cannot be licensed
- In Singapore the player commits a criminal offence - fine plus up to six months in prison - for using an unlicensed offshore site
- Malaysia bans online gambling outright and blocks sites at scale
- Almost all available information comes from me88's own press releases, including self-awarded claims like 'safest online casino Singapore'
- No publicly identifiable owner or operating company
- No independent evidence on payout speed or complaint handling
Our verdict
me88 is not a crude scam operation - it has a real Curacao licence, over a thousand games and independent testing certificates from BMM and iTech Labs, which is more than many of its peers can show. But we cannot recommend it to the players it is actually aimed at, because it markets itself at two countries that both prohibit it. Malaysia bans online gambling and blocks sites in the thousands. Singapore is the sharper problem: its Gambling Control Act 2022 makes the individual gambler liable, not just the operator, with a fine and up to six months in prison for using an unlicensed offshore site. Nothing me88 holds changes that. It is also worth naming how thin the evidence is: nearly everything written about this brand originates in its own press releases, including the superlatives it repeats about being the safest casino in a market where playing is a criminal offence. Certified games are not the same as a safe place to put your money.
How we rated it
Casino & games (20%)6.3
Over 1,000 titles spanning slots, live casino, lottery and esports, with games certified by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs. Independent game testing is a genuine positive and one of the few third-party facts here.
Sportsbook & odds (25%)5.8
Sports and esports sit alongside the casino in a single wallet-based platform. Coverage looks reasonable, but every description we found traces back to the operator's own marketing.
Bonuses & value (15%)4
Headline offers are large - a 288% Welcome Jackpot up to SGD 2,880 on slots and a 100% EPL sports bonus up to SGD 500 - but they are advertised to Singaporean players who cannot lawfully claim them, which makes the value question academic.
Payments & payouts (20%)2.5
No independent evidence on payout reliability, and in both target markets the payment path runs through channels the authorities actively block. Funding an account is the point where a player's legal and financial exposure becomes real.
Trust & licensing (20%)2
An offshore Curacao licence does not authorise it in Malaysia or Singapore. No owner is publicly identifiable, and the evidence base is almost entirely self-published press releases carrying superlatives the operator awarded itself. Certified games do not make an unlicensed-for-your-market operator safe to use.

How we verified this
One thing we could not establish: who owns and operates this brand. The rest of this review is sourced, but an operator we cannot name is one you cannot hold to account.
me88 holds an offshore Curacao licence only. It is not licensed in Malaysia or Singapore, the two markets it targets, and cannot be: Malaysia bans online gambling, and Singapore licenses only Singapore Pools and the Turf Club. In Singapore the player, not just the operator, commits an offence by gambling with an unlicensed site. Nearly all published material about me88 originates from its own press releases, so treat its safety and 'first/safest' claims as marketing rather than verified fact.

About me88
me88 is an Asia-facing online casino and sportsbook running on a Curacao Gaming Authority licence, with more than a thousand games, independent game certification from BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs, and Conor McGregor fronting its marketing. Its own publicity names Malaysia and Singapore as its markets, and that is the problem. Malaysia prohibits online gambling and blocked 1,778 gambling sites between January 2025 and May 2026. Singapore goes further than most jurisdictions by putting the player on the hook: under the Gambling Control Act 2022, online gambling is illegal unless licensed by the Gambling Regulatory Authority - in practice only Singapore Pools and the Turf Club - and an individual who bets with an unlicensed offshore operator faces a fine and up to six months in prison. A Curacao licence does nothing to change either position.
me88 FAQ
Is me88 legal in Singapore?
No. Under the Gambling Control Act 2022 online gambling is illegal in Singapore unless the operator is licensed by the Gambling Regulatory Authority, which in practice means Singapore Pools and the Turf Club. me88 holds only a Curacao licence. Notably, the individual player also commits an offence and faces a fine plus up to six months' imprisonment.
Is me88 legal in Malaysia?
No. Malaysia prohibits online gambling and has no licensing framework for it. Enforcement is active: 1,778 gambling websites were blocked between January 2025 and the end of May 2026.
But me88 says it is licensed and the safest casino in Singapore. Is that true?
It holds a real Curacao licence, but that licence is issued offshore and does not authorise it to serve Singaporean or Malaysian players. The 'first' and 'safest' claims come from me88's own press releases distributed over newswires, not from any independent assessment.
Its games are certified. Doesn't that make it safe?
Game certification by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs is genuine and means the games themselves behave as advertised. It says nothing about whether the operator pays out, how it handles disputes, or whether you are breaking the law by playing.
