Fake NetEnt Slots - Licensing Scandal

Casino 21Bet has 3 licenses UK, Malta and Curacao, but counterfeit NetEnt slots were found in the assortment. The scandal spilled out onto players' forums and the casino tried to publicly justify itself, like they did not know about the counterfeits.

What is so dangerous about this situation? The casino uses scripts to change the payout of slot machines. Players spin a fake with stock mathematics, but think that they are playing original games from world providers. Players see license plates on the casino website and hope that in case of a big win they will be paid money. In fact, scam slots are not covered by licenses and complaints about the casino will not be accepted.

The Malta Gaming Authority launched an investigation, but it turned out that it was not within their jurisdiction. Casino 21Bet had a Maltese license, which only covered sports betting - Type 2 Gaming Services. Therefore, all slots were under the jurisdiction of Curacao, which does not pay attention to counterfeiting and cheating of slot machines.

Casino Mining Pool experts urge you to check your favorite games for originality yourself and trust the license icons on casino websites less.
