CasinoReviews' report reveals the rise of counterfeit games, which are manipulated to deceive players and damage the reputation of legitimate software developers.
CasinoReviews calls for industry-wide cooperation and stronger regulatory measures to combat fake games, protect players, and maintain the integrity of the online gambling industry.
A recent report from CasinoReviews has unveiled an increasingly serious problem in the iGaming industry: the proliferation of fake casino games.
This comprehensive study, titled "The Fake Pandemic," reveals how these fraudulent games are marketed to unsuspecting players by unscrupulous operators.
The report notes that several unverified suppliers offer counterfeit versions of popular games from well-known developers. These fake games are powered by unregulated and untested engines, manipulating outcomes to favor the casino, often resulting in significant losses for players.
The report also points out that these counterfeit games often come with customizable RTP (Return to Player) settings, allowing operators to adjust the odds to gain an advantage.
Notably, Duncan Garvie recently appeared on Huddle discussing responsible gaming.
Some fake game providers are now openly promoting their products through websites and social media, targeting both operators and players.
CasinoReviews calls for industry-wide cooperation and a strengthened regulatory framework to address this threat. Proposed measures include introducing unique game verification seals and increasing transparency across the industry.
CasinoReviews spokesperson Duncan Garvie stated, "The spread of counterfeit casino games poses a real and significant threat to the integrity of the online gambling industry.
"Not only are players deceived, but the hard-earned reputation of legitimate developers and operators is also tarnished. The industry must unite to tackle this issue and ensure players are protected from exploitation."
