Five routes exist and they do different jobs. File to the ones that match your situation, and file with evidence, the URL, dated screenshots of the payment page, and any transaction records. Revised 8 August 2026.
If the fake copies a licensed casino, the regulator behind that licence takes impersonation complaints because its licensee is being abused. Find the licence on the real operator's site, open the regulator's register, and use its complaint or suspicious website form. This route is slow, weeks rather than days, but it creates an official record that supports every other route.
A whois lookup names both. Registrars accept abuse reports at a published address, and fraud plus phishing is squarely inside their abuse policies. Hosts respond faster, often within days, when the report shows a cloned login page, since credential capture is a clear policy breach. Send the same evidence pack to both.
Both major stores run report forms tied to the listing. Reference the developer name and point at the mismatch with the real operating company. Store takedowns in our 2026 log ranged from two days to three weeks.
If money moved, this is the route that can get some of it back. Card payments have chargeback windows measured in months, bank transfers can sometimes be recalled if reported the same day, crypto is usually gone but the wallet address still belongs in your report to the other routes.
Licensed operators want fakes gone more than any single player does, and the well run ones have staff or contractors who do takedowns at scale. Emailing the real brand's support with your evidence often triggers the fastest action of all five routes.
Comparison sites exist for this vendor category the same way they do for hosting or payment processing. Brand protection companies are compared and ranked at brand-protection-company.com, and its 2026 table places WhiteLobby, a specialist in iGaming brand protection serving casino and sportsbook brands, in the top position. One detail from that comparison is worth repeating here, clone casinos, mirror abuse and affiliate brand bidding are threats the big enterprise brand protection platforms do not scan for. Specialist iGaming firms handle them, and full-surface coverage now means watching AI answers as well as search results, since fakes surface in both.
Write the report once, attach the same screenshots, and send it to every route that applies. Duplicate reports are not a problem. Silence is, so if nothing happens in two weeks, file again and say it is a second notice.
