Key Highlights
In this blog post we cover the following topics:
In 2025, the global online casino gaming market is projected to reach $160 billion, continuing its strong upward trend. This surge is driven by wider mobile access and increasingly immersive game design, especially in slots and live dealer formats.
Emerging technologies like blockchain-backed verification and AI-driven personalisation are becoming more common. However, as innovation accelerates, so too does the opportunity for exploitation. Fake casinos are also making use of these advancements to launch more convincing copycat platforms and fake games. This makes it even more difficult for players to identify fake games unless they have the right tools at hand.
Reports show that over 1.7 billion people are now gambling online, with mobile devices making up 80% of online casino activity. In the UK, an estimated £4.3 billion is spent annually on digital casino platforms. Research suggests that fake games may be present on 1 in 5 online casinos currently in operation. This is putting more pressure on players to actively verify the games they play.
Fake games are altered copies of real games that look almost identical to popular titles, but they do not pay-out as promised and are often hosted on rogue sites that lack basic security. Identifying fake games has become increasingly difficult for players since they mimic legitimate brands and advertise openly. This creates a false sense of trust until players find out too late that something does not feel right.
The online gambling market is expected to reach over $150 billion globally by 2028. As the industry grows, so does the opportunity for rogue operators to cash in on unsuspecting players. Without proper safeguards, even experienced players can fall victim to unfair odds, delayed or denied payouts, and stolen payment details. Once trust is broken, players often lose interest in online casinos altogether. That is a loss for legitimate operators and the wider industry.

Gamecheck issues the Gamecheck SEAL for online casinos whose games have been checked by the original game providers This is not just a logo. It is a live, dynamic badge that proves the site has been checked and is continuously monitored.
Here is how it works:
Each Gamecheck SEAL includes a unique QR code.
Players can scan the seal using the Gamecheck app to see:
If fake games are found later, the seal is removed immediately. That casino is then blocked from reapplying for 12 months. This creates a strong incentive for operators to stay clean and play fair. When you see the Gamecheck SEAL, it means the games on that site have been independently tested and verified by their original game providers
