Is Gamecheck an affiliate?
Gamecheck is not an affiliate—it’s an independent platform that protects players by detecting and exposing fake online casino games. Unlike affiliates, which earn money by promoting casinos, Gamecheck doesn’t profit from player sign-ups and isn’t tied to any casino. Its only goal is to help players make informed decisions.
How does Gamecheck verify online casinos?
Gamecheck collects evidence on behalf of game providers to identify fake or tampered games. We look for issues like low-quality graphics, irregular game behaviour, and suspicious game launch URLs. All findings are recorded and reviewed to support verification.
What are fake games?
Fake games means that counterfeit or unauthorized versions of casino games have been identified on a platform. These fake games often mimic legitimate ones but may have altered payout rates, unfair algorithms, or security risks.
What happens if a casino is caught offering fake games?
If an online casino is caught offering fake games, Gamecheck flags its status in our system and updates its profile to show “Fake Games Detected.” We then share our findings with the player community to raise awareness and warn others not to trust the site. The casino continues to be monitored regularly.
Can I report a suspicious online casino to Gamecheck?
Yes, you can report a suspicious online casino to Gamecheck. If you come across an online casino that seems suspicious, simply submit it using the “Request Verification” form on our website. Our team will review it and take the necessary steps to protect players.
What are real games?
"Real Games" are original, unmodified games officially licensed by the original game providers, verified for fairness and functionality, and offered directly, never copied, cloned, or modified. These games work as intended by the developers and offer real payouts, algorithms, and user experiences.
What does pending checks mean?
“Pending Checks" means that an online casino is still undergoing testing to verify the authenticity and fairness of its games. The evaluation has either not yet begun or is still in progress, and the final status—whether the games are real or fake—will be determined once the checks are completed.
If I report a site, will my identity be protected?
Yes, if you report an online casino to Gamecheck, your identity will be protected. We value your privacy and confidentiality, and any information provided during the reporting process will be kept secure and used solely for investigative purposes. Additionally, you don’t have to provide your email or name. You can simply request a verification, and we’ll get to work immediately.
Can I see a history of checks performed on a particular online casino?
Yes, you can see how often a check has been performed on a particular online casino through its profile page on Gamecheck. We provide information about the outcomes of these checks, including whether any fake games were spotted or if the online casino has been verified for operating a selection of real games (Play with Confidence).
Why do some casino profiles on Gamecheck show both “Real” and “Fake” statuses?
Some casino profiles on Gamecheck display mixed statuses—such as both "Real Games Detected" and "Fake Games Detected"—because Gamecheck conducts ongoing monthly checks, and a casino’s status can change over time depending on whether fake games are later added or removed, with the full inspection history shown publicly to ensure transparency for players.
Is Gamecheck’s verification available to players in all countries?
Yes, Gamecheck’s verification services are available to players in all countries. Our platform is designed to provide information and support to users worldwide, allowing them to make informed decisions about the online casinos they choose to play with.
How transparent is the verification process? Can players and operators see the specific findings, or are there limits on what is shared?
The verification process at Gamecheck is transparent, but there are limits on what is shared. We provide players and online casinos with access to specific findings, including the online casino URL, online casino name, and the dates and timestamps of when we conducted our checks. However, detailed evidence and internal analyses are shared only with gaming providers for confirmation purposes.
What technology or methodologies are used to verify the authenticity of games? How does Gamecheck detect fake games?
We conduct thorough investigations into all sites, gathering data through gameplay testing, monitoring game behaviour, and logging game launch URLs. This evidence is then analysed to identify any signs of fake games. Once our investigations are complete, we present our findings to game providers for confirmation.
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.
Is the verification a one-time audit?
Verification is ongoing and randomised, with monthly re-checks to ensure continuous compliance—if any fake game is later detected, the SEAL is removed immediately and the casino is exposed to all our followers.
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.
What should I do if I see a suspicious or fake Gamecheck SEAL?
If you suspect misuse, report it via the Gamecheck website or by emailing help@gamecheck.com, and scan the SEAL using the Gamecheck App to confirm its authenticity.
Is the SEAL linked to legal or regulatory approval?
No. The Gamecheck SEAL is not a license and does not imply legal operation in your jurisdiction. It is a verification of game authenticity only.
What happens if fake games are detected after issuance of a SEAL?
If fake games are detected, the SEAL is revoked instantly, the casino profile is updated to show “Fake Games Detected,” the breach is made publicly visible on the Gamecheck platform, and we heavily expose casinos that engage in this behaviour.
What’s the purpose of recording everything on Blockchain?
Gamecheck uses blockchain technology to securely log all verification data, ensuring each inspection—whether it confirms real games or detects fakes—is tamper-proof, transparent, and traceable. This creates a permanent public record that cannot be altered by anyone, including Gamecheck or casino operators. It builds trust, reinforces accountability, and allows players to independently verify a casino’s authenticity and check history.
What is the license verifcation page in the Gamecheck app?
This verification page is provided by Gamecheck to give players clear, reliable information about the current status of a specific online casino. It confirms that a selection of games on the site has been checked and verified as real by the original game providers. The page also confirms that these games meet all relevant technical standards. All verification data is securely stored on the blockchain to ensure full transparency, traceability, and protection against tampering. This page is only accessible through the Gamecheck app to prevent misuse and ensure authenticity.
What does the Gamecheck app do?
The Gamecheck app helps players check whether online casinos offer real games supplied by their official game providers. It connects directly to Gamecheck’s verification system, giving players transparent, evidence-based results before they play.
How do I install and start using the Gamecheck app?
You can download the Gamecheck app for free from the App Store or Google Play — just search for “Gamecheck.” Once installed, open the app and start scanning Gamecheck SEALs to view verified results instantly.
Can I request a casino check through the app?
Yes. If you suspect a casino might be offering fake games, you can use the Gamecheck app to request a verification. This asks Gamecheck to run checks on that casino and confirm whether its games appear real. Every request is reviewed by the verification team and validated by the original game providers where applicable.
How does the app help identify fake games?
The app uses verification data provided directly by the original game providers. This process detects fake or unauthorised copies and ensures that verified SEALs display only genuine, provider-approved games.
How can I verify if a Gamecheck SEAL is real?
Only the Gamecheck app can confirm SEAL authenticity. You can scan the QR code, upload a screenshot, or tap a SEAL on a website. The app will instantly show whether it’s valid, active, or revoked.
Is the Gamecheck app free for players?
Yes. The Gamecheck app is completely free to download and use. It was designed to protect players by helping them identify real games and avoid fake or manipulated ones.
Is the Gamecheck app safe and independent?
Yes. The Gamecheck app is fully independent and connects securely to Gamecheck’s blockchain-backed verification system. It protects players from fake games and rogue operators — and never promotes or endorses any casino.
What should I do if I see a suspicious Gamecheck SEAL?
If you suspect a SEAL might be fake or misused, open the Gamecheck app and request a verification for that casino. The app checks the SEAL’s authenticity in real time, and any misuse is reviewed by Gamecheck’s verification team.
