Start with the issuer
Write down the regulator’s exact name and open its own register rather than a badge image. A certificate hosted only by the operator is a statement, not independent confirmation. Record the account or licence number and date because status can change.
If the authority is foreign, its result answers identity and foreign permission only. The Saudi question remains open and cannot be filled by an affiliate, support agent or local-language page.
Match domain, entity and activity
A one-character domain difference can point to an impersonator. The named company in the account terms must also match the regulator entry, and the permission must cover the advertised product. A sportsbook permission is not automatically a casino permission.
If any field is missing, stop before sending funds or KYC. Ask for a stable register link and compare it independently. Never send an OTP, password, wallet seed or unredacted card to complete this test.
