What is fake gambling and should you work with it

Fake gambling — yes, it exists. Today, we will explore this topic and find out what it is and why it works.

Some say that it is a top-notch “scheme,” while others claim that you should run away from such offers as far as possible. What is true and what is actually the case — read below in the article.

Fake gambling: what it is and how it differs from the classic

Let’s start with the fact that fake gambling is, in essence, casino offers that look quite natural and normal, but are fake and work somewhat differently from the classics. They often completely resemble real games, for example, with a familiar interface, game mechanics, functionality, etc. The creators of such offers also sometimes enjoy launching “fakes” of real casino brands.

“Fake ≠ Classic” — the main difference between a fake and a classic is that in such a casino, the player will never be able to withdraw money. The first withdrawal attempt will end with a message about the need to link and confirm data, as well as make a minimum deposit (the amount depends on the website).

After the player has made a deposit, they will start getting an error message on subsequent attempts to withdraw funds. That is, it is a vicious circle in which you can swim forever.

This works because:

• There is a no deposit bonus for the player immediately after registration;
• Fakes often use the faces of celebrities or well-known brands in their design;
• There is a twist, so the chance of the player’s balance growing to a certain amount increases;
• There is convincing technical support that misleads the player into thinking that this is a real casino and everything is above board;
• They accept payment in cryptocurrency.

If the website has set up bonuses, rigging, minimum deposits, etc. well, it can receive 60-70% RevShare for this. But we all understand that directly deceiving people is not legal, so criminal liability may be a small bonus to RevShare 🤏🏻

Why shouldn’t you get involved in fake gambling?

At first, it always seems that everything illegal brings in many times more profit than something, say, adequate. However, this is definitely not the case here. Fake gambling offers cannot be called very profitable, and you cannot say that they differ significantly from the classics in terms of money. They differ mainly in that working with the classics is less likely to lead to spending time behind bars 🤫

The “disadvantages of fakes” are as follows:

• Payment models. The fact is that CPA or Hybrid do not work when working with fakes. And it is these models that usually show the highest return on investment.
• There are tricky moments. For example, the website itself selects domains, thinks about how to deal with restrictions, and independently communicates with users on behalf of technical support.
• General conditions. Yes, you can get 60-70% RevShare on fakes, but even for classic casinos, this percentage is not something extraordinary. That is, you can get the same amount in the classics.
• We haven’t heard about user retention. This is a completely logical reason. When a user sees that they cannot withdraw funds and everything smells like a complete scam, they will not deposit again. Basically, income may be limited to the amount of the player’s first deposit.

How can you tell if you’ve stumbled upon a fake casino?

Since this is a dangerous “scheme” area, and besides that, it is also unprofitable, our task now is not to fall into the trap of a liar.

So, here are the key points that will help you spot a fake: 

• Works only on RevShare;
• There are questionable approaches;
• No deposit bonuses;
• Overly flexible settings.

In summary 

Working with fake casinos means putting yourself in danger and doing it for nothing.

It is better to look for verified advertisers right away so that your work does not become a “struggle for survival” and problems occur less and less often.
