Gamecheck has detected fake games at PLAKE Casino, which advertises itself as the best online casino based on Blockchain, following a full review carried out in collaboration with game providers. Evidence gathered during testing confirmed that a a selection of games from multiple game providers have been checked and fake games were found. For players, this means that the titles they see on PLAKE’s platform look like real games but they are not operating with the fairness of the originals. PLAKE has now been listed on the Gamecheck platform with “Fake Games Detected” status.
PLAKE is one of several blockchain-branded online casinos that have emerged over the past year. The site has positioned itself as a crypto-friendly casino promising fast transactions, anonymous play, and a wide selection of popular slots and table games.
Marketing material highlights blockchain as the foundation of transparency, but Gamecheck’s investigation tells a different story: blockchain branding has not prevented fake games from appearing on the platform.
Players have reported in online forums and review sites that PLAKE offered bonuses that were difficult to unlock, games that loaded slowly, and pay-outs that did not match expectations. Some reviewers described the site as “all style, no substance” with others warning that the games did not behave like the originals they knew.
Gamecheck follows a clear process when assessing an online casino:
This collaborative process ensures that findings are not based on speculation but on confirmation from the official providers themselves.
Fake online casino games are not just look-alike products. They undermine fair play in three ways:
No fair odds
Fake games don’t run on certified random number generators (RNGs), which means outcomes may be manipulated against the player.
Damaged trust
Providers intellectual property is copied, devaluing the reputation of real games.
Player risk
When players lose money on fake titles, they often blame the brands they recognise, not the rogue operator that copied them.
As Gamecheck’s research has shown, fake games are becoming more sophisticated, often imitating design, logos, and interfaces so closely that even experienced players struggle to tell the difference.
Negative reviews of PLAKE reflect these wider risks. Common complaints from players:
One review summed up the experience:
“The site looks professional, but the games didn’t feel right. I checked later and found out some games were fake.”
The exposure of PLAKE highlights why the Gamecheck SEAL exists.
The Gamecheck SEAL is a live, dynamic trust badge that can only be validated through the Gamecheck app. When displayed on an operator’s site, it confirms that a random selection of games have been checked and verified by the original providers.
Players don’t need to rely on instinct alone. Gamecheck provides multiple ways to check an online casino for free before they play:
These tools give players real-time information and the power to make informed choices.
PLAKE is part of a wider trend where blockchain branding is used to attract players. While blockchain technology can provide transparency in payments, it does not guarantee game authenticity. Rogue operators often use terms like “decentralised” or “provably fair” in marketing, while still offering fake versions of popular titles.
Gamecheck’s mission is to close this gap. By collaborating with providers, we ensure that authenticity checks go beyond surface claims and focus on the reality of the games players are offered.
Now that PLAKE has been exposed for fake games, the platform will remain under continuous monitoring.
For the industry, this exposure serves as another reminder: branding and technology claims are no substitute for independent verification.
For players, the message is simple: check before you play.
Gamecheck exists to protect players and promote transparency. PLAKE’s exposure shows that even blockchain-branded casinos are not immune from fake games. By using Gamecheck's tools, you can avoid costly mistakes and choose sites that offer real games.
