Is V-World licensed or legal in Singapore and Malaysia? An independent check of its licence, the law and the risks.
Quick answer: V-World (also written VWorld) is an online casino brand aimed at Malaysian players. We could not find a licence for it from any Malaysian or Singapore authority, and the brand appears on many different websites.
This V-World review is an independent fact check for anyone searching “V-World Singapore” or “V-World Malaysia”: is V-World legal, and is V-World legit? AuthoritySlot does not link to or promote V-World.
V-World is marketed to Malaysian players, often with an app download. A search for the name returns many separate domains using it, and we could not verify which one, if any, is official or who operates the brand.
We could not find a licence for V-World from Singapore’s GRA or any Malaysian authority. When many domains share one brand name, it is hard to know whether you are dealing with the operator or a copycat site.
No. Singapore Pools is the only operator licensed by Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) to offer remote gambling. V-World is not on that licence. Playing with an unlicensed online operator while in Singapore can lead to a fine of up to S$10,000, up to 6 months’ jail, or both. Advertising unlawful gambling to people in Singapore is also an offence. For the full picture, see our guide to online casino Singapore law.
Malaysia does not license online casinos, and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) blocks gambling sites; it reported blocking over 5,026 of them as of early 2025. A High Court ruling found Section 4B of the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953 could not be applied to online gambling, and amendments to the Betting Act 1953 aimed at remote gambling have been proposed but, as of March 2026, not enacted. For the full picture, see our guide to online casino Malaysia law.
No. Online gambling is illegal in Thailand under the Gambling Act B.E. 2478 (1935). Only the government lottery and licensed horse racing are legal. The Entertainment Complex Bill covered land-based casinos only and was withdrawn in July 2025. See our online casino Thailand guide.
We cannot vouch for V-World. See “Who licenses V-World?” above for what we could verify. No V-World licence we found was issued by Singapore’s GRA or a Malaysian authority, so no local regulator can help if a withdrawal is refused or an account is closed.
