1. What these terms cover
These terms explain the conditions for using this Brunei-focused information service. By using the site, you agree to read the material carefully and to use it for lawful, personal information purposes. If you do not accept these terms, please stop using the service.
The service provides editorial information about gambling-related topics, source records, risks, complaints and regulatory references relevant to Brunei. It does not operate a casino, accept wagers, process deposits, hold funds, arrange withdrawals or provide a gambling account. It also does not act as an agent for a player, operator, regulator, bank or payment provider.
These terms are written as site-use rules. They do not replace the text of legislation, a direction from a competent authority, or advice from a qualified professional.
2. Information is not legal or financial advice
Content is general information, not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, investment advice or a personal recommendation. No statement should be treated as a decision that a domain, operator, game, payment route or activity is lawful, licensed, safe or suitable for you.
Our material cannot determine your legal position or the legal position of a particular service. It cannot confirm that an entity has permission to operate in Brunei, and it cannot create, extend or verify a licence. A reference to a law or authority is not an approval of any operator or activity.
Before acting, consider the date and scope of each source. If you need advice about your circumstances, obtain it from an appropriate qualified adviser or contact the relevant official authority.
3. How legal references are presented
The primary legal reference identified for this policy is the Common Gaming Houses Act, Chapter 28. Its inclusion means that readers can consult the direct legislative text; it is not a complete statement of every rule that may be relevant to a particular situation.
The Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) content-regulation material maps online gambling to the Common Gaming Houses Act and the Royal Brunei Police Force. That mapping is presented as an authority reference, not as our own legal conclusion.
Laws, official guidance, enforcement priorities and online content can change. We therefore avoid presenting a historical record as a current decision unless the supplied evidence expressly supports that conclusion. Where a fact is not established by the recorded sources, it should be treated as unknown.
4. Source limits and verification
Our records distinguish between primary authority material and other information. The direct text of Chapter 28 is recorded as a primary source. AITI material is recorded as primary authority information for its stated subject. These records support only the claims described in their source entries.
The Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) alert-list search is a searchable list for suspicious or unlicensed financial entities. It is not a casino licence register. Presence or absence in that list must not be treated as proof that a casino is licensed, unlicensed, trustworthy or unsafe.
Readers should check the original authority source, its date and its exact scope before relying on a statement. A search result, brand name or domain similarity may not establish the identity of an operator. We do not fill gaps by guessing.
For an explanation of our evidence handling, see our methodology. For legal-reference material, consult licence and law information.
5. No promise about operators or outcomes
Nothing on the site promises that an operator will accept you, process a payment, honour a withdrawal, resolve a complaint, protect your funds or remain available. We do not promise a particular gambling result, return, bonus, service quality or response time.
A listing, description, rating, warning or link is not a guarantee. It is also not a statement that a person or business has committed an offence. Allegations and user reports, where present, must be understood according to their recorded status and should not be treated as established facts without appropriate corroboration.
Do not provide passwords, identity documents, banking details or other sensitive information merely because a name appears in editorial content. Confirm the recipient, purpose and security of any communication independently.
6. Responsible use and age
Gambling can involve financial loss and may cause harm. Do not treat editorial information as encouragement to gamble. Set limits, do not chase losses, and stop if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing.
Do not use the service to evade an age restriction, identity check, self-exclusion measure or other protective control. Do not use it to facilitate unlawful gambling, fraud, money laundering, harassment, unauthorised access or the misuse of another person’s information.
If you need immediate support or believe there may be a criminal matter, use the guidance at urgent help. AITI’s FAQ identifies the Royal Brunei Police Force as the relevant route for criminal reports and gives police hotline 993. Use official channels for urgent matters rather than waiting for an editorial response.
7. Complaints, reports and corrections
You may report a factual error, broken reference, misleading presentation or concern about content through contact information. Include the relevant heading, the date you viewed it, the precise statement and a reliable supporting record where available.
A report is not automatically proof that content is wrong, and submitting a complaint does not guarantee removal or a particular outcome. We may review the evidence, request clarification, correct wording, add a qualification, update a date or leave the content unchanged where the available record does not establish an error.
Our editorial review does not replace a police report, regulatory complaint, court process or dispute-resolution procedure. The correct official route depends on the nature of the matter. AITI’s recorded FAQ directs relevant criminal reports to RBPF and 993.
8. Links and third-party services
Internal links help you move between related information. A link to another route does not mean that an external person, business, service or authority endorses our content. External websites may have separate terms, privacy notices, age controls, identity checks and security practices.
We do not control third-party availability, content, authentication, payment processing, account decisions or data handling. Review the destination’s own information before sharing data or taking action. A link cannot establish that a destination is licensed in Brunei.
9. Intellectual property and permitted use
Unless a different credit is shown, the site’s original text, arrangement and presentation are provided for personal, non-commercial reading. You may quote a short passage for a lawful purpose with clear attribution and without changing its meaning. Do not copy, republish, sell, frame, scrape, reproduce or systematically redistribute substantial portions without permission.
Source documents remain subject to the rights and conditions of their respective authorities. Reproducing a source link does not transfer ownership of that source or imply that its publisher endorses our presentation.
10. Availability and changes
We aim to keep information useful, but we do not promise uninterrupted access, permanent availability, completeness, error-free content or a particular publication schedule. Technical failures, source changes and corrections may affect what is displayed.
We may revise these terms, editorial explanations, links or content when circumstances change. The current version governs future use from the time it is made available. Continued use after an update indicates that you have had an opportunity to review the revised wording.

11. Contact and interpretation
Questions about these terms can be sent through the supplied contact route. Please describe the issue clearly and avoid sending passwords, payment credentials or unnecessary identity documents.
These terms should be read together with the site’s privacy, editorial and disclaimer information. Where a statement concerns a source, the source’s own wording and authority take priority over a summary. Nothing in these terms removes any protection or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Frequently asked questions
Does this service provide gambling services?
No. It provides editorial information and does not accept wagers, process deposits, hold funds or manage gambling accounts.
Does a reference to Chapter 28 confirm that a casino is legal?
No. The Common Gaming Houses Act Chapter 28 is identified as a primary legal reference, but a citation does not confirm the status of a specific casino, domain or operator.
Is the BDCB alert list a casino licence register?
No. The recorded BDCB resource is a searchable alert list for suspicious or unlicensed financial entities. It is not a casino licence register.
Who should receive a relevant criminal report?
The recorded AITI FAQ points relevant criminal reports to the Royal Brunei Police Force and identifies police hotline 993. Use that official route for urgent criminal matters.
Can I report an error in the information?
Yes. Use the contact route and provide the precise statement, the date viewed and reliable supporting evidence. A report will be reviewed, but it does not guarantee a particular result.
Does a listing mean that an operator is approved?
No. A listing, description or link is not an approval, licence confirmation, safety guarantee or promise about payments, withdrawals or outcomes.
