To serve the countries mentioned, the operator boasts a license from Anjouan. We’ve verified the license number ALSI-202505017-FI1. GK8's website is powered by SuperSwan and TTWonders, 2 well-known software platforms for iGaming. 

Besides, GK8 has partnered with Michael Owen (former English footballer) as the official brand ambassador. To make sure the Anjouan license is valid in your region, make sure you read local legislation; however, for Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, it's not sophisticated.

Our experience with GK8’s usability is positive. The website and the app feature a somewhat barebones theme. This results in a very lightweight platform that loads fast. You can quickly register, deposit, bet, and withdraw. All touchpoints on the websites and apps are intuitive. Now, let’s look closely at the navigation and design features.

Navigation

Navigation on GK8 is pretty much seamless. The menus are self-explanatory. You can easily jump between features. The casino, sportsbook, lottery, fishing, e-sports, promotions, etc., options are clearly labeled in the main menu. The footer menu also contains helpful links such as company information, live chat, info centre, contacts, and T&Cs.

Design

As we’ve already mentioned, GK8’s website design is very basic. It uses a classic white background with a gradient of blue as the secondary color. The operator has cleverly used icons to distinguish between products. Important buttons, such as “bet now”, “join now”, etc., are clearly visible across pages. Overall, we’re impressed with GK8’s platform design.

To serve the mobile audience in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, GK8 offers an optimized mobile site as well as native apps. GK8’s mobile app is available for both Android and iOS.

Android users can download the APK file directly from the official site, while Apple users can download it from the App Store. Android users can even claim an extra 50 THB bonus if they download the app.

The Android app is very lightweight, measuring only 7.65 MB before installation. To use it, you need to provide multiple permissions, such as location and contacts.

In terms of user experience, we’re impressed. Once the interface loads, you can quickly choose from sports, casino, slots, poker, fishing, etc. options. It features a classic main menu drawer where you can access the promotions, leaderboard, and other platform settings.

Betting is fairly intuitive. After choosing the right sportsbook from the spread, you can simply tap an event to add it to your bet slip. Casino games run seamlessly, including live dealer titles. The mobile site offers similar functionality and optimization.

• Android app: Yes
• iOS app: Yes

The operator’s payment methods are different for each accepted country. You can also choose from 3 cryptocurrencies to fund your GK8 account. Some important fiat methods include Superpay, EeziePay, RHB, Maybank, etc.

GK8’s customer support is one of the best when it comes to operators accepting customers from Asian countries. For all users, a 24/7 live chat is the primary channel. You may also use LINE (Thailand), WhatsApp (Singapore/Malaysia), and X (individual handles for each country). 

The website is available in 6 languages: English, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Malay, and Chinese.

We’re impressed with the fact that live chat is also available in these languages. To test the readiness and reliability of the agents, we asked a series of questions regarding GK8’s services. The chat operator replied within 5 minutes and answered our queries sincerely. 

The “Info Centre” link opens an FAQ prompt on your screen. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an empty section. We suspect this is a work-in-progress.

Overall, GK8 has done a very good job of structuring its support for different audiences. You get support in your mother tongue, which surely adds to the experience.

• Live chat: available 24/7
• Email: support@gk8.com

Sports odds

We’ve analysed GK8’s odds across multiple sports and markets. Our calculations suggest that GK8’s margins are mostly over 12%. You may occasionally find under 10% margins. But overall, we don’t find it satisfactory. The operator should work on the odds to bring the margin down.

Live betting and streaming

As the operator houses multiple sportsbooks, our impression of GK8’s live betting is mixed. The same is true for GK8’s live streaming. BTi Sports, for example, offers great coverage for streaming live events. IBC, on the other hand, is somewhat limited in streaming.

Limits

As the operator offers betting services through multiple sportsbooks, the betting rules are not clearly defined. According to the information provided by customer support, the limits are usually between 2-500 MYR. It also varies from sportsbook provider to provider.

eSports live betting and streaming

GK8’s live betting is fairly good across all products. GK8’s live streaming, however, isn’t consistent. Some bookmakers offer great streaming coverage while others don’t. You can identify events with a TV or play icon on the listing.

eSports betting markets

We can categorise all esports betting markets into the following at GK8:

• Match winner

GK8’s casino is very well optimised for the Asian audience. You’ll find many thematic games to celebrate the culture of these countries. Of course, you also get the all-time favourites. Overall, you can choose from 5,000+ games.

Software providers (45)

On the game grid, you can see the RTP of each title listed below the card. It’s a small yet impactful touch to help players find the highest-paying games. If you’re interested in fishing games, GK8 has titles like Zombie Party, Fishing God, Fishing War, etc.

Live dealer games

The live casino games are located under the “Casino” tab in the main menu. This section of the casino is powered by Evolution, Sexy Baccarat, VMCasino, SA Gaming, Dream Gaming, Yeebet Live, WE Casino, etc., software providers. Compared to Thailand and Malaysia, the game selection in Singapore is somewhat limited.

The game page lets you choose from these providers. You must be logged into your account to access these games as they’re not available in demo mode. You can play a wide variety of Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker, Craps, etc.

Minimum / maximum deposits

Bet sizes for most RNG games start at S$0.10–S$0.20. Live dealer games have relatively higher bet requirements, usually starting at S$5 equivalent.

GK8’s registration process is similar for all accepted countries. To create an account with GK8, you’re free to use both the web version and the mobile app. The basic steps are as follows:

1. Visit the site and choose your location from the options.
2. Once the interface loads, look for the “Join Now” button and press it to open the registration form.
3. For manual registration, assign a username and a password. Confirm the password.
4. The next step is to provide your full name, email address, and phone number. Account currency should be automatically set.
5. Confirm that you’re at least 18 and you agree with the T&Cs before pressing the “Join” button.
6. Alternatively, you can use your Google (Malaysia, Singapore) or LINE (Thailand) accounts for quick sign-up.

Our review of GK8 mostly ends on a positive note. The operator offers localised services for users in Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Namely, the website and live chat are available in respective languages. Also, you can use local currencies to deposit and withdraw.

The mobile compatibility of GK8 is very good. It features native apps for Android and iOS. The mobile site is well-optimised if you want to skip the download.

One of GK8’s specials is the integration of multiple sportsbooks. Across them, you can bet on 50+ sports from all over the world. You can quickly choose the tournament and match to add it to your bet slip. Both regular and esports betting get equal priority.

The betting margins, however, are higher than ideal GK8. We believe the operator can do a better job of odds analysis to favour regular bettors.

If you’re okay with the higher margins, GK8 is a great platform for you. It offers good welcome bonuses, lots of regular promotions, and favourable terms. The casino section is packed with 5,000+ games to keep you entertained. As it’s a licensed and regulated platform, we can safely recommend it to our readers.
