How to protect yourself from fake sites and fakes
1. Why fake sites are dangerous
Fake casino sites copy the design, logo and functionality of well-known platforms, but work with the sole purpose of stealing the player's data and money. They often appear on twin domains, advertised on social networks or instant messengers, disguised as official applications.
2. How to recognize a fake at the site address
Domain check: original sites work on domains registered many years ago, fakes have fresh registrations (less than a year).
Twin domain: extra letter, dash, other domain zone (.net instead of .com).
HTTPS and SSL: no lock in the address bar or browser warning - a clear danger signal.
3. License and regulator verification
A legal casino always indicates the license number and a link to the regulator's website (ACMA, MGA, UKGC, Curacao).
Fake sites often insert a "license" picture without a clickable link or with a fake certificate.
The ACMA whitelist check ensures the site is cleared for Australian players.
4. The difference between the fake interface and the original
Low quality logos and images.
Errors in the text, confusion of languages (for example, half of the interface in Russian or Spanish).
Incorrectly working buttons and links.
No secure login form (no encryption when entering login and password).
5. Financial signs of fraud
Offer to replenish the account directly to the card or through a transfer in cryptocurrency without a payment gateway.
Lack of known payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, POLi, PayID).
Inflated bonuses and promises of instant payments without vager conditions.
6. How to safely search and visit the casino website
Click only on official links from the regulator's website or from trusted sources.
Avoid clicking on ads on social networks, especially with unusual addresses.
Use browser bookmarks to sign in to your account.
7. Device and connection protection
Updated browser and antivirus with phishing protection.
VPN when accessed from restricted regions, but only to legal licensed sites.
Avoid logging in from public Wi-Fi networks.
8. What to do when a fake site is found
1. Do not enter data or transfer money.
2. Take screenshots to fix.
3. Report to ACMA and payment system.
4. Warn other players through forums and social networks.
Conclusion:
Fake casino sites copy the design, logo and functionality of well-known platforms, but work with the sole purpose of stealing the player's data and money. They often appear on twin domains, advertised on social networks or instant messengers, disguised as official applications.
