Aw8 review: a Southeast Asian casino from 2018
2018 Founding year · On our list since 23 Dec 2020 · Established casino
Aw8 states 2018 as its founding year and a Curaçao licence. It targets Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, with accounts in ringgit, Singapore dollars, baht and dong, and a site in English, Chinese, Malay, Thai and Vietnamese.
The game list is short and Asia-focused, with Asia Gaming, Dream Gaming, Spadegaming and TopTrend next to Evolution Gaming and Playtech. Our data has no countries it accepts and no withdrawal methods.

Verdict
Should you play at Aw8?
Not without checks. Aw8 has traded for years, but online casino play is illegal or unlicensed in most of the countries it targets, and our data shows no payout methods. If it is legal where you live, ask support how withdrawals work before you deposit.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

You must bet $4,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs $160 on average, so the bonus is worth about -$60.
