Current alerts and standing warnings

This bulletin tracks fake casino sites, cloned gambling apps and mirror link networks as they surface. Each card below is either a dated alert or a standing guide that we keep current. Nothing here is sponsored and no casino pays to be excluded.

Alert, 14 Aug 2026

Cloned slots brand circulating through Telegram groups

A copy of a licensed European slots site is being pushed through at least six Telegram tipster groups. The clone reuses the original logo and lobby layout but runs on a domain registered on 2 August 2026 with a two letter suffix appended to the real brand name. Deposits go through a crypto processor the real operator does not use. If a group link lands you on a domain you did not type, close it and reach the casino through its licence register entry instead.

Alert, 29 Jul 2026

Fake withdrawal desk emails asking for a release fee

Players at several small Curacao licensed sites report emails from a fake payments desk demanding a 200 euro release fee before a withdrawal can be paid. No licensed casino charges a fee by email to release your own money. The sender domains were registered in July 2026 and imitate support addresses with an extra hyphen.
