TOP-5 signs of a fake online casino
Fake casinos disguise themselves as "new brands with super bonuses," copy the design of well-known operators and use pirated assemblies of games. Below are the five main characteristics by which they can be calculated before the deposit.
1) "License" does not beat and there are no transparent details
What it looks like:- In the basement - logos of regulators without a permit number or with a number that is not in the register.
- There is no page with legal information (jurisdiction, operator, Jurassic address, contacts for complaints/ADR).
- "About the license" - one paragraph without references and specifics.
- Without a license, you do not have a formal complaint mechanism and operator responsibilities for safeguarding, game integrity and payments.
- The license number must be explicit and punched in the regulator register. If there is no number or it is "not located" - a red flag.
2) Game providers and certificates - drawn
What it looks like:- On the main one there are logos of large studios (Pragmatic Play, Play 'n GO, NetEnt, etc.), but the interface/set of bets/language does not match in the slots.
- There are no references to test lab certificates (GLI, iTech Labs, eCOGRA, etc.).
- "Exclusive" slots with no studio name or version.
- Pirated builds allow you to change RTP and bonus frequency; winnings can be "cut off" at any time.
- Open 2-3 popular games and compare with the official demos/screenshots from the studio: the betting panel, menu, spin speed must match.
3) Domain, SSL and digital footprint do not converge
What it looks like:- The domain is fresh (recently registered), often changes or resembles a typo of a popular brand.
- SSL certificate "self-signed "/cheap, issued recently and to another subject than indicated in" About the company. "
- Many "mirrors" from different Jurassic. information and payment details.
- Fake domains and weak SSL are signs of phishing and attempts to hide the link "site ↔ Jurassic. person ↔ payment provider."
- Check the domain lifetime and who issued SSL; Jurassic information on the site and in the certificate should not contradict each other.
4) Payment schemes are gray, "manual" output
What it looks like:- They offer deposits/withdrawals via P2P to personal cards, crypto wallets of "managers," instant messengers.
- No explicit conclusion SLAs and limits; support promises to "speed up for commission."
- No mention of segregated/secured funds, escrow for large amounts, bank name/EMI.
- Without transparent processing and separation of client funds, the operator can freeze or "dissolve" your balance.
- Ask for a payment partner (bank/EMI/custodian) and regulation. The answer "it's confidential" is a red flag.
5) Rules and support allow you not to pay "for any reason"
What it looks like:- The terms are vague: "suspected abuse," "domestic politics," "no explanation."
- Half-page bonus terms, no bet deposits and no game exclusions.
- Aggressive support: "do not write complaints, we will solve everything here," threats "ban for appeals."
- Such formulations are indulgence in non-payment, delays without deadlines and refusal to appeal.
- Ask four questions: withdrawal thresholds/deadlines, KYC/SoF conditions, ADR/Ombudsman contacts, who holds the funds. Evasive answers → leave.
Express check list before deposit (3-5 minutes)
- License: there is a number and it breaks through; regulator and ADR specified.
- Providers: games have the same interface/version as the official ones; there is an RNG/RTP audit.
- Domain/SSL: the domain is not "yesterday," SSL is issued to the same entity as in the Jurassic. info.
- Payments: transparent methods, named bank/EMI/custodian, there are SLAs and limits.
- Rules: detailed conditions of bonuses, terms of inspections, complaint procedure.
Additional indirect signs of fake
Unrealistic bonuses without a wager/limits or "100% without rules."
The same "positive reviews" on different sites, clone texts.
No Responsible Gambling, KYC/AML, Privacy/Cookies pages.
"Stocks" and "jackpots" with no timers, rules and history of winners.
How to check the brand "to the depths"
1. Search by Jurassic person/operator in news and specialized resources.
2. Reconcile addresses and companies specified in policies with corporate registries.
3. Test minimum deposit and partial withdrawal (not the entire balance) - an assessment of the speed and transparency of the process.
4. Checking that the domains/mail of the support match at the site, mailings and payment notifications.
What to do if you are already on a fake
Do not replenish more and record evidence: screenshots of the office, rules, correspondence, transactions.
Request an output and a full report of account transactions.
Contact the bank/payment provider (chargeback/dispute, if the method allows).
Change passwords and turn on 2FA, block the card/wallet if you suspect.
Report to your country's cyber police/regulator and blacklist aggregators.
Fake casinos almost always pretend to be a combination of signs: a "rubber" license, fake providers, a questionable domain/SSL, gray payments and rules that allow you not to pay. Stick to a simple principle: there is no verifiable license, transparent providers and understandable payments - no deposit.
