Q&A With Samuel

How do you start verifying a new online lottery platform?

I begin with a structured checklist covering licensing, company details, and responsible gaming measures. I specifically look for localized payment methods like JazzCash, SadaPay, and Crypto to see if the site caters to the needs of Pakistani players. After that, I test account creation and key platform features to confirm the claims made on the site.

How do you handle conflicting information during verification?

I document the discrepancy carefully, capture evidence, and contact the platform for clarification. If the issue remains unresolved, I clearly note it so readers understand the situation before they commit any funds.

What sources do you cross-check during fact-checking?

I rely on official regulator databases, operator disclosures, and independent audit reports from providers like Evolution Gaming, Playtech, and Pragmatic Play. Primary sources always come first, supported by direct platform testing and additional verification where needed.

What principle guides your work the most?

Accuracy and transparency. Every claim should be verified, sources should be clear, and readers should always understand how conclusions were reached to ensure a safe experience on any platform.
