In any market where original products are created (IP is developed, brands built, and trust established at considerable cost and effort) there are those who seek to take advantage of players and legitimate game providers, with fake products. This is not unique to the iGaming industry.
However, in the iGaming industry, where a fake game is offered, the player is not only cheated out of being entertained by the real game, but the fake games (i) may not perform as described; (ii) will not have been tested and certified according to applicable regulations; and (iii) is unlikely to pay out the same amount of winnings as the genuine version. This will provide a much worse gambling experience.
Here at Gamecheck, we are on a mission to identify fake games and the online casinos that offer them. Working with reports from multiple sources and collaborating with legitimate and reputable game providers, we help to verify where fake games have been found and, over time, we hope to provide an invaluable resource to players who want to avoid the risk of playing fake games. In turn, Gamecheck helps to support the legitimate game providers and online casinos that only offer genuine games and want to see fake stamped out.
Gamecheck is committed to exposing websites that offer fake games, helping to safeguard the iGaming industry from fraud and deception. We understand the importance of community involvement in upholding integrity within the industry. That’s why we actively engage with players and encourage them to share their experiences, report any suspicious activities, and contribute to our ongoing efforts to combat this kind of fraud.
Our focus is to help ensure that players are playing real games on legitimate online casino websites. We do not handle other complaints regarding those online casinos (e.g deposits, withdrawals, bonus rules, etc.). Instead, we concentrate solely on verifying the authenticity of the games that we monitor and the fairness of the gaming experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned gambler or new to the world of online casinos, you can trust Gamecheck to be your reliable source of information in helping to ensure a safer and fairer gaming experience.
What is the Gamecheck Seal?
The Gamecheck SEAL is a trusted symbol that shows a random selection of games on an online casino has been verified as real by the original game providers. This verification is based on direct confirmation from multiple game providers and supported by regular monthly checks. The SEAL helps players identify casinos that are committed to transparency and only offer genuine, tested games—not fakes.
How is the SEAL awarded?
An online casino must pass initial verification checks, with evidence of real games confirmed by partnered game providers; after three months of clean checks, it may receive a unique Gamecheck Profile ID, with the SEAL backed by monthly rechecks and subject to removal at any time.
Why does the SEAL have a QR code?
Each Gamecheck SEAL includes a unique QR code that can only be scanned using the Gamecheck App, ensuring it can’t be faked or copied, displays the live status of the casino, and provides instant access to the casino’s Gamecheck profile page.
How can I verify if a SEAL is real?
Only the Gamecheck App can confirm SEAL authenticity by scanning the QR code, uploading an image of a SEAL, or clicking a SEAL on a website, which will open the app and reveal the current verification status.
Can I trust a site just because it has the Gamecheck SEAL?
The SEAL confirms that multiple games from multiple providers have been checked and verified as genuine by the original game owners. However, players should still review the casino’s terms and conditions, ensure it is legally authorised in their country, and treat the SEAL as one layer of trust—not the sole factor in their decision-making.
Does the SEAL mean all games are real?
No. The SEAL confirms that a sample of games tested during the check were verified as real by the original game providers. It is not a guarantee for every single game on the platform.
