Rogue Announcement Affpower Casinos - ripped off NetEnt Games

Casinofreak777 said:
not that I thought they would admit that they have false NetEnt games, but here's an answer I got when I would close my account because of this.

We have an official contract with a game distributor that have a contract with Netent, our Netent games are 100% real and works normally.

What was written about our Casino is completely false and inaccurate.

If you still wish to close please let me know.

Please let me know which casino made that statement. Thanks!
 
I've just been contacted by Curacao-Egaming that they are now in direct contact with NetEnt. So at least we have some activity on that end.

They stressed the importance for players to play at trusted sites. The problem for NetEnt is that it's whack-a-mole. These crooks pop up all the time.

Players need to learn that sites like Casinomeister, or those that are listed in our recommended portals section are the sites that have got your back.

Couldn't agree more - there are a small number of sites within the affiliate business that are actively trying to improve the industry rather than getting down and dirty with anyone who'll pay them. On the AffPower group, they've been rogue for a LONG time and this really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who pays attention.

Slows payments, blatantly predatory terms for both bonus and non-bonus play, knowingly working with affiliates who are engaged in large scale hacking - the list goes on and on.

Just a question,what exactly can this "pirated" Netent software do?
Can they actually alter the RTP settings on the slots?

Or do they just use the original software without having actually a contract with Netent and thus they don't pay for the platform and probably won't pay winning players either..

Where games are pirated the 'pirater' simply creates a similar slots engine and will then usually slap the graphics from the original (or graphics close to it) over the top. There is no way of knowing how these games are configured to run. It's like taking the engine from a Lada and putting it inside a Ferrari - the car will look the same but the performance will be totally different. It's actually highly unlikely that the pirater just so happens to choose the same symbol frequency on each reel and bonus round payout to make the game the same as the original, so you can say with confidence that the one thing the pirated game won't do is function in the same manner as the original.

Hi everyone!

My name is William and I am new to the forum. I am working for an online casino in Malta.

Thanks for letting the community know about this rip off.

The method which involves checking the flash settings is apparently not 100% accurate as it is only the static assets from NetEnt (Images). A rogue casino could potentially use the original assets from the NetEnt static url.

Another way to find a FAKE NetEnt game is to click on the "tool icon" when you are in real money and click on the "GAME HISTORY" link. If there is no such link or the link is broken, the NETENT game is fake.

Hope that can help!

Another fairly common giveaway is that the standard NetEnt loading screen isn't what's displayed while loading - this wouldn't be overly difficult to fake but having seen a good number of operators running fake NE games now that's fairly consistent.
 
What ramifications if any does this have on Gamescale - www.gamescale.com? It was my understanding that back in 2010 Gamescale were the software provider for these AffPower casinos.

Are they a separate entity to AffPower or ultimately owned by the same individuals?

My reason for asking is that I need to update my own page concerning Gamescale accordingly if they are somehow caught up in all of this.

I don't know. Good question.

I was always under the impression that Gamescale were AffPower - I've certainly never encountered any group running this software that hasn't been AffPower or tied to them - but I could be well of base on that. Would be remarkably odd if a software company only worked with one group and wasn't related to them though.

That was also my thinking too.
 
I've asked AffPower if they'd like to make a public statement. Sooner or later they are going to have to. The have two licensing jurisdictions and a software provider investigating them.

I chatted with a casino customer support person at Euromoon casino who stated that the games were indeed legit, and that Netent has a contract with them. He also stated that Netent does not keep track of their servers, and that *gasp* there is a rumor that Casinomeister is being paid to smear their casinos.

Say it ain't so!! :eek2:

Chat at Euromoon Casino
Me:
I heard that you have stolen games from Netent. Is this true?
Or is what they are saying on the internet a lie?

Them:
That's a lie of course
And let me explain you why
We are starting to be well known around the gambling industry
We're becoming a very important factor in this industry and are among the most important concurrents
Now there's some webmasters who started a smear campaign against us
And that's the result
We have an official contract with a game distributor that have a contract with Netent, our Netent games are 100% real and work normally

Me:
But why? Why would casinomiester lie?
And LCB?

Them:
I wouldn't want to state that as a real fact but even in bigger industries like technology, or the smarthphones industry
Who get paid to do these smear campaigns
However you can stay calm, we have official contracts with all the game distributors

Me:
casinomiester gets paid to smear caompaing?

Them:
After all this we're starting to believe that theory...

No comment yet from AffPower, and no more info from the Curacao licensor.

By the way, there is some misinformation in the fora - like at the GPWA - the MGA is not licensing these casinos - the casinos that hold the Malta seal are the sister sites to the ones who are hosting pirated games. The focus now should be to look at how close this licensing jurisdiction (

) is supervising their licensed casinos. At the moment, I am waiting for a statement from them on what actions they are taking - if any.
 
It looks like the NetEnt games are vanishing from those casinos :thumbsup:

I would like to say a lot about this but I won't.
I'm just smiling ;)

If you read this thread i had a major bug with one of these games at atlantic casino .
I play there a lot and lost a lot it seem legit but the settings are similar to the ones described in the starting post.
I speak to one of the managers and shes quite nice and gives me loads of free bonus cash.
Plus they have decided to give me 10x300 bonuses to make up for the bug .
The only problem is its impossible to make the playthrough.
anyway i asked them about the situation and the reply i got was

Everything you've been reading is bull. There are people out there trying to ruin our reputation.

We have a contract with an official company that distribute Netent Games, so our games are real.

So, don't worry, don't be afraid, everything is above board.

Unicorns are real.
 
A particularly interesting quote from that article:
... the government of Curaçao, through its company UTS and via the illegal SMS lotteries and partly illegal online casinos, is supporting the gambling industry on the island. Additionally, according to Van Raak, the Gaming Control Board still exercises no control over the online gambling.
