Tech tools to help you identify fake games

In today’s world of one-click thrills, online casino fans have more options than ever before. Whether you’re spinning the reels on your smartphone or playing poker on your laptop at home, online gambling has never been more accessible.

However, not all games are what they seem. Some imitations closely resemble genuine online casino games but are designed with unfair mechanics that can put players at a disadvantage. These games are becoming increasingly common, creating potential risks to your bankroll and online safety.

At the forefront of the digital battle against fake games is Gamecheck, a pioneer in online casino verification. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and blockchain technology, Gamecheck is swiftly cracking down on fake games.

Gamecheck has recently introduced a blockchain-integrated verification badge. When you see the Gamecheck SEAL in the footer of an online casino’s website, it means a selection of their games has been verified by the original game providers, with no fake games detected at the time of testing.

You can easily verify the Gamecheck SEAL’s authenticity by scanning it with the Gamecheck App.

The Gamecheck App is free to download from the Apple Store or Google Play. Simply scan the Gamecheck SEAL, and you’ll know instantly whether the games on the site are real or fake games.

For seamless browsing, you can also install the Gamecheck Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store. It works in real time as you browse, automatically displaying an online casino’s verification status and the number of reported cases - all without leaving the site. You can also submit Verification Requests directly through the extension.

AI: the smart assistant with superpowers

Let’s talk Artificial Intelligence.

AI can be used by operators to detect fraud:

• AI can spot gameplay fraud by analysing data patterns. If a game’s results seem too good to be true, AI will flag it.
• AI can detect fake graphics using image recognition, and identifying visual differences between real and fake versions of popular games.
• AI can be used by an online casino to prevent bonus abuse by identifying suspicious account activity linked to multiple sign-ups or bonus exploitation.

It can also be used to monitor in-game chats, alerting platforms to malicious promotions.

AI sees what human eyes can’t see - and it does it in milliseconds.

Blockchain: the tamper-proof record of data

If AI is the detective, think of blockchain is the secure evidence record.

Blockchain is able to store every transaction, bet, and game outcome in a tamper-proof digital ledger. Once something is saved on the blockchain, it can’t be changed. No shady edits. No funny business. This transparency means:

• Players and regulators can audit everything in real time.
• Smart contracts can handle automatic pay-outs - no more waiting for your winnings.
• Payments are more secure, with lower fees and faster processing.
• Fraud becomes harder, thanks to decentralised data that's nearly impossible to hack.

And when a game is provably fair, players can verify the randomness of the outcome themselves. That is not just tech wizardry, it is peace of mind.

Together they are unstoppable

AI and blockchain are powerful alone, but together they are an unbeatable duo. Imagine AI scanning for suspicious behaviour while blockchain ensures every result is recorded. Operators win by earning trust. Players win through fair play. And scammers? Well, they lose big time.

Play smart, play secure

As the iGaming industry continues to evolve, trust will be its most valuable currency. Thanks to innovations from Gamecheck and the alliance between AI and blockchain, online casino players now have the tools to enjoy their favourite online casino games in a more secure environment.

Because at the end of the day, it is not just about luck, it is about knowing the game is fair, the platform is legit, and the technology is working in your favour. So go ahead, spin that wheel, roll those dice, and place that bet. With AI and blockchain watching your back, your game just got a whole lot smarter.
