Warning: these fake online casinos are advertising

Key Highlights

In this blog post we cover the following topics:

• Fake online casinos actively advertising right now
• Over 500 fake games exposed by Gamecheck
• How does Gamecheck detect fake games?
• The Gamecheck SEAL: proof of real games
• Protect yourself before you play

Fake online casino sites are on the rise, pushing aggressive ads and hoping you will not notice that the games they offer are not real games, but fake games that offer no real wins. These fake games might look similar to the originals, but they are designed to deceive you and make sure you do not have a fair chance of winning.

At Gamecheck, we have been keeping a close eye on these suspicious sites. In the last few months alone, we have detected over 500 fake games across various fake casinos. We do the research so you do not waste your money on fake games.

In this blog post, we will share what we have found, how you can protect yourself, and how to check if a game is real before you play.

Discover how Gamecheck helps protect players by exposing fake games.

Read on to find out more about Gamecheck's findings.

During our investigations, we noticed several fake online casinos that are advertising online right now, hoping you will not notice that they offer fake games designed to deceive players. In recent months, Gamecheck’s investigative team checked over 15,000 online casinos and detected more than 1,000 fake online casinos that offer fake games.

This month alone, Gamecheck has found fake games on three platforms that are advertising at the moment. These fake online casino sites not only host fake games intended to steal your money and personal information, but they also advertise on social media channels to lure in unsuspecting players.

Fake online casinos actively advertising right now

These fake casinos are targeting players with flashy ads designed to deceive.

Don’t be fooled - protect yourself by staying informed. All three sites are listed on Gamecheck and have been flagged for offering fake games.

Fake Games Detected

In all three cases, a selection of games from multiple game providers has been checked, and fake games have been found. The games on offer on these sites might look like popular titles, but our team of experts has checked a selection of games with the original providers and found fake games.

Why fake games are a growing problem

Fake games mimic the graphics and sound of real games but do not follow the fair standards set by the original game providers. Playing fake games often means lower chances of winning, rejected returns, manipulated outcomes, and no guarantee of fair play. This means:

• They can change pay-out odds unfairly.
• They can manipulate gameplay to prevent wins.
• Players are misled into thinking they are playing real, fair games.

With more fake online casinos advertising aggressively, players are at greater risk of unknowingly playing fake games. Therefore, it is more important than ever for you to protect yourself against these sites and to avoid falling for their misleading advertising and fake games.

Over 500 fake games exposed by Gamecheck

Our mission is clear: to help players protect themselves, identify fake games, and support fair play in online gaming. Gamecheck has been working with multiple game providers to test and check games across several online casinos. In recent months, we have discovered and exposed over 500 fake games, flagging the sites and adding them to our database so players can check before they play.

How does Gamecheck detect fake games?

Our investigation process begins by checking the unique web address (URL) from which the games have been launched, as fake games often originate from suspicious domains. Next, our experts visit the online casino in question and monitor its library of games over time. This hands-on approach allows them to test a variety of titles and directly observe game behaviour over a period of time.

Once Gamecheck is done testing the games on offer by a particular online casino, it presents its findings to the relevant game providers. Game providers are the ultimate authority on whether an online casino game is genuine or not. A random selection of games on the site are tested and confirmed to be real by the original game providers.

As soon as Gamecheck’s findings have been confirmed by the game providers, we publish the results on the online casino’s Gamecheck profile. When Gamecheck identifies even one fake game on a site, the entire online casino is labelled as having "fake games detected.” This clearly signals to players that playing there could expose them to the financial risks associated with fake games.

To check any online casino on Gamecheck, simply enter the URL of the online casino in question on our site to see if they have real games. You will see one of three statuses:

Green Status / "Real Games in Operation":

This status means that a selection of games has been tested by multiple game providers and confirmed to be real games at the time of inspection.

Red Status / "Fake Games Detected":

This means fake games were found at the time of inspection.

Pending Status / "Pending Checks":

This indicates that Gamecheck’s investigations are ongoing. 

Gamecheck’s verification process will let you know whether the online casino is running real or fake games. If the online casino you are checking is not yet listed in our database, you can submit a verification request through our Request Verification Form and an investigation will be initiated.

Gamecheck monitors online casinos flagged with red flags consistently. Our team conducts regular, random tests of a selection of games on online casinos every month to ensure ongoing player protection and maintain a reliable database. You can see a history of checks performed on an online casino's profile page.

The Gamecheck SEAL: proof of real games

When you see the Gamecheck SEAL displayed on an online casino's website, it means a random selection of its games has been checked with the original game providers and confirmed to be real games at the time of testing. It is a clear sign that the online casino does indeed provide real games that offer fair play and is committed to transparency.

Before depositing money on a new online casino site, check if it displays the Gamecheck SEAL - one of the simplest ways to protect yourself from fake games.

What the Gamecheck SEAL means

When you see the Gamecheck SEAL displayed on an online casino’s website, it means:

✅ A selection of their games has been confirmed to be real by the game providers.

✅ You can scan the Gamecheck SEAL with the app to verify its authenticity.

✅ Once scanned, you can feel confident that the Gamecheck SEAL is the real thing.

The Gamecheck SEAL helps you:

• Check if the site’s games have been confirmed as real by the game providers.
• Reassures you that no fake games have been found on the site.
• Rely on regular monitoring of the site that keeps checks up to date.

We conduct ongoing, random monthly checks to ensure the casino continues to offer real games. If even one fake game is found, the Gamecheck SEAL is removed immediately, and the online casino cannot reapply until it meets verification standards again. This means the Gamecheck SEAL reflects the online casino’s current, up-to-date status.

The Gamecheck SEAL helps players identify trustworthy and reputable online casinos that are committed to fair play and transparency, while also providing proof that the games offered are genuine and verified by the original game providers.

How the Gamecheck App protects players

The Gamecheck App allows players to scan the Gamecheck SEAL. This ensures:

• The Gamecheck SEAL is genuine and active.
• Players get up-to-date status on the regular checks.
• You can follow your favourite online casinos in the app and
• Receive notifications whenever a new check is completed.

Why this matters now

Rogue operators offering fake games rely on heavy advertising to attract players quickly before they realise the games they are offering are not real games but fake games designed to deceive players out of their money and personal information. With the rise in fake games, it is important to protect yourself before you deposit or play.

When you play a fake game:

• You risk your money without fair odds.
• You may be playing a copy that looks real but is not.
• Your wins and losses may not reflect true gameplay.

Protect yourself before you play

Here are simple steps you can take:

Check before you play:

Use Gamecheck’s platform to search an online casino URL.

Use the Gamecheck Chrome Extension to check a site while browsing.

Download the Gamecheck App to scan the Gamecheck SEAL displayed on an online casino to confirm it is the real deal, on a real casino with real games.   

Be cautious of aggressive advertising. Take your time to check new online casinos you see advertised online, and Gamecheck before you play.
