Scammers targeting Endorphina games

Endorphina, a slot provider which is responsible for games such as Vodoo, Aus Dem Tal, Tribe, has reported a serious announcement on their website. Apparently, some of their games have been copycatted and have been featured on live websites which accept live bets.

Some of the websites reported by Endorphina are:

However, Endorphina also specified there could be more websites out there that haven't been found yet.

Although these games appear completely legit and are indeed a copy of real Endorphina's games, they are not distributed with Endorphina's permission. Furthermore, the platforms on which these games are showcased aren't associated to the rights of Endorphina's IP and do not have any legitimate license to provide the software.

What does that mean, in simple words?

• Lower RTP: First, the RTP (return to player) of these games is lower than the original, which means that the chances of losing are higher, statistically speaking.
• Risk of game manipulation: Furthermore, becasue there are no external authorities checking these games, you run a risk of game manipulation. This means the results could be altered so that the players don't win when they should.
• Bugs and glitches: No one likes to win at a game, then see all their winnings dissipate because of a nasty bug. With these games, that's the risk players are running.
• Disruption in gameplay: As above, if you like your games to run smoothly and you don't want to see your winnings disappear, you should always choose to play at a respectable, reliable casino (you can find plenty right here) and only at real games from reputable providers (like these ones.)
• Fake paytables: There's a lot of mathematics that goes on behind a slot. Even the simplest games run on softwares that allow the results to be truly random and that ensure each spin is as thrilling as the last. In these copycat games, you will often find fake paytables, which don't reflect the actual game.
• Not tested: Because these games aren't regulated by bodies such as eCOGRA or iTechlab, they aren't tested. This means that the results, which should be unpredictable at any given moment, might not be. You might be scammed and lose your winnings.
• No liability: When Endorphina creates their games, they put their names to it. That's a symbol of quality, but also a certainty of accountability. Endorphina's games are attached to their company, and as such, each of them is created with the most attentive care.

Endorphina has also indicated that should anyone find more non-original Endorphina games, they are welcome to report it on Endorphina's official channel, so that an investigation can be conducted.

Remember to always gamble at casinos that hold legitimate licences and with games that you can trust. Gambling online can be fun, but it can be dangerous too, with so many people out there looking to get their hands on your personal data.
