Mirrors and alternative addresses: how not to fall for a copy
A «mirror» is an alternative address leading to the same platform. Some operators use them when their main domain does not load on certain networks. The problem is that fake copies also exist, imitating the design to steal logins or deposits. This page explains how to tell them apart.
Reaching the right address
- Always use the same entry point: a saved bookmark or the links in this guide.
- If the operator announces a new address, confirm it inside your account or through its official email.
- Be wary of addresses received through messaging apps or social media.
Signs of a fake site
| Sign | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| Domain with swapped letters | A copy imitating the name |
| Far more generous promotions | Bait for deposits |
| Cashier showing personal bank details | Payments to third parties |
| Support asking for your password | Account theft attempt |
«Exclusive» bonuses on mirrors
A common tactic on copycats is a huge bonus with apparently soft conditions — 1x wagering, no cap — to get a quick deposit. If an offer at an unfamiliar address looks very different from those in your account, do not deposit.
If you already entered your details
- Change your password on the genuine platform.
- Turn on two-step verification if available.
- If you gave card details, tell your bank and block the card.
- Report the fake address to the operator's support.
Blocks and VPNs
In some countries gambling sites are blocked by law. Using a VPN to get round a block, or to appear to be in another country, may break the operator's terms and lead to account closure and withheld winnings — and may break local law.
Emails that impersonate the operator
Copies are not only websites. They also arrive as emails or messages with the platform's logo announcing an urgent bonus or an account problem. Check the real sender address and the link destination before clicking; if a message says you must log in to avoid «losing» a balance, open the platform from your bookmark and look for the promotion there.
