In today’s fast-moving online casino world, it is getting harder to tell which online casinos and games are real. Fake games often look identical to real ones, but they do not offer fair play. They can drain your wallet and ruin the fun of online gaming.
That is where Gamecheck comes in. Gamecheck empowers you, the player, to protect yourself from rogue operators and fake games.
With a set of free, innovative tools, Gamecheck makes it easy for you to check if your online casino games are real before you play. Here’s how Gamecheck helps you keep your gaming fair, enjoyable, and under your control.
What is Gamecheck?
Gamecheck is an independent platform that provides players with tools, education, and research to help you identify fake games and determine whether specific online casinos are offering real games. It’s not a regulator, and it does not verify online casinos’ licensing. Instead, it helps you check if the games you are about to play are real games sourced from original game providers.
Gamecheck is here for players of all levels - casual players seeking reassurance, serious players who want in-depth verification, and new players learning to spot real games.
Why fake games are a problem
Fake games can look almost identical to real ones but are modified to lower your chances of winning. They expose you to unfair practices, wasting your money and time. Gamecheck helps protect you from these risks by providing free tools that you can access anytime.
Gamecheck's search portal
Gamecheck offers a free, searchable database where you can check whether an online casino has been flagged for fake games or if it is operating real games. Simply copy and paste the casino URL into the Gamecheck search bar and see if it has been checked. You will see one of three statuses:
Real Games in Operation (Green):
Games have been confirmed as real by the game providers.
Fake Games Detected (Red):
Fake games found on this site.
Pending Checks (Yellow):
The site is under review.
If Gamecheck has not checked the site yet, you can easily submit it for investigation. Once evidence is gathered, Gamecheck works with game providers to confirm if the games are real, updating the status transparently on our platform.

The Gamecheck SEAL
The Gamecheck SEAL is a blockchain-integrated badge displayed on online casino sites that pass a series of independent checks. We send game data to the original game providers for confirmation, and only then is the Gamecheck SEAL issued.
Each Gamecheck SEAL includes a QR code that can only be verified using the app. Simply scan the seal, to see the site’s current status.
Benefits of the Gamecheck SEAL for players:
Confirms that a selection of games have been verified as real games by the game providers. Indicates that the site is under regular scrutiny and monitoring.
