It started as a simple distraction. I had just finished a long shift at Changi Airport and couldn’t sleep. My apartment in Bedok was quiet, lights off, and I was wide awake. I remembered a site I saw on my colleague’s phone during break earlier that week — KU9 casino. He said he’d been using it casually, mostly just for fun. I figured why not.

I deposited SGD 50 using PayNow. It was fast — the funds were in my account almost instantly. I opened a sleek Asian-themed slot game called "Golden Drums," featuring dragons, coins, and traditional beats. After a few spins, I triggered a bonus round with 12 free spins. Spin number nine brought in a full screen of gold symbols, and boom — SGD 1,384.50 landed in my account balance.

Withdrawals without drama

At around 1:47 AM, I clicked “withdraw,” chose FAST bank transfer to my DBS account, uploaded a picture of my IC and a bill from StarHub. Whole process took less than 10 minutes.

By 8:15 AM — while having kaya toast and kopi at a hawker centre in Tampines — I received a push notification: the funds had arrived.

Here's the breakdown:

What I did with the money

• Cleared my credit card balance (SGD 780)

• Bought a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones (SGD 399)

• Booked a 2-night getaway to Bintan with my girlfriend

• Saved the remaining SGD 150 for rainy days

This wasn’t a planned session. No late-night stress, no chasing losses — just one lucky decision at the right time. The whole thing felt surreal. What I appreciated most? No shady “pending verification” emails, no delays, and no hidden fees.

My approach now: once a week, never more than SGD 30

I treat it like entertainment, not income. I’ve set a wallet lock, and if I win something, I cash out and don’t look back. One win doesn’t mean more are coming, but it can mean a small slice of financial breathing room.

Sometimes, a quiet night can surprise you — and a bit of curiosity turns into a four-digit reward before sunrise.
