Fake online casinos may appear professional at first glance, with flashy bonuses and tempting offers, but once you look deeper their sole aim is to steal your personal details and money.
No valid license
Legitimate casinos display gaming licenses from authorities like the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), or Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA).
Fake verification badge
A real online casino typically displays a verification badge that is clickable and links to a verified regulator’s website. Fake sites often display fake badges that not are not clickable
Suspicious website design
Poorly designed sites, lack of HTTPS encryption, and outdated graphics all signal a lack of legitimacy
Denied withdrawals
It should not take you over 30 days to withdraw your winnings. If an online casino refuses to pay out or takes forever to pay out, it is likely a scam
Non-existent customer support
Genuine platforms provide responsive customer service, while fraudulent sites ignore queries or pressure players into deposits
To ensure fair play, Gamecheck advises players to:
Verify casino licenses
Check regulators' official websites to confirm legitimacy
Research reputation
Read reviews and forums for real user experiences
Beware of huge bonuses
Excessively high bonuses often have unfair wagering requirements
Test customer support
Contact support to ensure responsiveness
Check game authenticity
Verify game providers and look for certification seals
Our upcoming Gamecheck Seal of authenticity will make verifying games even easier for players worldwide.
Simply look for the Gamecheck Seal in the footer of your trusted online casino, then scan it with the Gamecheck app to verify the seal and to ensure that the online casino is offering genuine games.
