WARNING Global Games Tech Ltd & Mad Entertainment : bogus licensing claims, rogue casinos.

[maxd]

WARNING: Players should be aware that any casino claiming to hold a non-existent Curaçao Master License (see details below) is almost certainly a rogue site. These sites often claim to be operated by “____ LTD of Barge Straat 1”. Curaçao officials have confirmed that these licensing claims are "false and misleading". Also, these casinos have been involved in an excessive number of complaints with the end result being that the player suffers confiscated winnings and endless non-payment issues. AVOID THESE CASINOS.

Here's an example of one such bogus licensing claim, this one taken from BigWins1.com:

"Master License 34389464EU" is totally fake, there is no such license. FTR there are only four three legitimate Curaçao Master Licenses in common use: 365/JAZ, 1668/JAZ, 5536/JAZ, and 8048/JAZ. There are a couple others -- all of the xxxx/JAZ format -- but those are either not in use or do not issue sub-licenses so you'll never see them cited.
[later: Master License 365/JAZ was decommissioned 18 August 2024 and is now defunct and invalid.]

Similar "Our License" blocks are found in the footer of many of these sites sometimes with different bogus license numbers, usually with garbled or incomplete sentences:

• "operates under Master License 6786733255 ATVD - lTV granted by the ."
• "operates under Master License 854151 granted by the CEG. ... holds a master License 854151 ."
• "operates under Master License 6786733299NVOC granted by the . holds a master License 6786733299NVOC ."

Other points to note are that most of the casinos in question -- though not all -- give their address as "Hollandia 24" or "Hollandia 24 perst H12". This is usually seen in the "Our License" block in the footer. You may also see this in the footer: "The domain is explored by MAD ENTERTAINMENT S.TitanBet."

And last but not least you'll usually find one of these or a variation in the Terms & Conditions:

• "6.3.2 exclude you from any other Casino that is affiliated with the GLOBAL GAMES TECH LTD of casinos;"
• "6.3.2 exclude you from any other Casino that is affiliated with the Bigwins GAMES TECH LTD of casinos;"
• "6.3.2 exclude you from any other Casino that is affiliated with the LoveCasino LTD of casinos;"

The following are prior Warnings that we have posted against some of these casinos:

• 4Crowns: bogus license, non-payment, ignored complaints - Casinomeister Forum
• Ares Casino (arescasino.com) is BAD news for players - Casinomeister Forum
• LoveCasino (lovecasino1.com) : fake license and unpaid players - Casinomeister Forum
• Beware of Goldenlion.bet, a no-pay fake license casino - Casinomeister Forum

These are the casinos to be concerned about, either confirmed to be Global Games Tech LTD / Mad Entertainment sites or displaying enough of the same tell-tale signs that it's almost certain they are part of same rogue operation:

This sounds quite mad! Whack-a-mole clip-shot joints. Yep, avoid at all costs.

 

[dunover]

Yes, numerous complaints here too about another scam site on that list, cherryfiesta:

You can add Luckycharms.co to the above another casino that has been bombarding me with text messages every day as 803 of the above for the past year

Have you had any luck getting of their list? I have tried to go to live chat, but it hasn't helped. I also tried sending e-mail to Bigwins1 customer support, but their listed e-mail doesn't work. I tried WHOIS. Seems like they've registered through a service which enables them to be hidden. They offer a chance to send them a message which I have done, but they aren't forced to answer. I have also submitted a ABUSE report, but GoDaddy only says that they'll look at it, and that they receive tens of thousands, and that they won't answer me whether they'll do anything about it. It is extremely annoying.

 

[johnnybyrne]

Unfortunately no. I am getting bombarded every day sometimes 10 times a day with text messages. Luckycharns co being the worst. But there are others. At first I was polite sending emails then just plain rude and never got a response (and I sent hundreds when they really annoyed me) not even the decency of f s response. I then set uoma fake Gmail account and sent a message in German saying I couldn't deposit and got a response within 5 minutes from Chad. I have then sent abusive emails everyday saying things about Chad and (just to.humour myself) and still nothing. I also think but could be wrong it could be to do with there affiliate as I'm always getting the same numbers in the weblink example: luckycharms.co/en?aid=35054&visitor_id=35054_376793

This was sent yesterday and I can honestly say about the 100thjust linking to this site

*Unlinked spam casino link - this is affiliate spam. From 35054's aff account*

 

[deleder]

We should try figuring out who the affiliate is. Perhaps say that you are interested in being an affiliate yourself?
Also tried ripe whois?
I am getting smses with a link that starts with fw.pe

 

[johnnybyrne]

I've literally tried every. There's about the same 12 casino using the same fake license. It's just infuriating. I sat there once for an hour and just fired 100 emails of abuse and the next day I got 3 messages. What annoys me the most is how they got my number. I'm in UK a S only okay UK SITE and the affiliate who has been bombarding me you'd think would take the hint. If I didn't sign up on any of his links after the first text what makes him think I will when his sent the 2000th

 

[deleder]

Thanks, have you tried to reporting it to you telecommunications provider? Can they help at all? Would be a blessing to stop the SMSes. Every one that I get use the same domain, so it shouldn't be difficult to block that.

 

[johnnybyrne]

I block them. Most go to.spam. sum still get through. Most come through shortcode just showing the casino name or even worse they have spoofed someone else's number. I ha e mobile numbers leaving me messages I've rang back and it's just kept on ringys d then the next day the line is out of servy. It's just extremely annoying. And it's always the same group of casinos (if you can call them that) . Just something I know just have to put up with. If I didn't need my mobile number I would of just changed it.

 

[maxd]

Added Spinland.bet to the list because of the same bogus license claims:

[Postman2022]

I have the same issue with SPICY JACKPOTS,just need to get the message out to as many people about the SCAM .I have 4424 views of there Mickey mouse sites . People will stop depositing in time

 

[helmusk]

Has anyone actally eventually been paid from cherry fiesta ?

 

[mulven]

I'd be surprised.

There's dodgy casinos that very rarely pay out and then there's ones like these which are full blown scams that I'm pretty sure have NEVER paid out. Fake company, fake licence and who knows maybe even fake games.

What I don’t understand is , it’s such a bad business model even if they are unlicensed. If they don’t pay people they aren’t going to come back . Even the ones with gambling issues . Makes no sense

Not really as with fake games, licensing etc. they can simply work the numbers and make something from every single sign-up who deposits. They have little or no costs plus the ones who do win can be enticed to play more while being delayed on their cash-outs. It's only necessary to scam each person once. Due to lack of player research even with the most awful reputation they'll still get sign-ups from scam affiliate sites who give false promises to divert you from the real story out there on Google.
When the name is burnt after 2-3 years they simply keep the casino skin and change the name, logo, colours and start again.

Well they won’t have another penny from me unless I’m paid . Might have to take the loss and learn but it’s there loss really . They’d make more money getting return players

That's just it, they wouldn't. The average casino new player lasts around 3-4 months, I was given that figure from my affiliate contacts, can be longer for bigger operations, much shorter for others.

In that time, the casino will make on average their house edge on those players, minus licensing costs, affiliate fees, advertising, taxes, game supplier percentage, bonus costs and costs to payment providers.

Your scammer will have none of those with fake slots, being unlicensed, dodgy payment systems, no paid advertising. Bonus costs are non-existent as players won't be paid. The only fee they pay is to affiliates, on most occasions those affiliate sites are financed and operated by the same criminal network - if they are not, go to AGD's site and see affiliates moaning how they've been 'ripped off' by dodgy affiliate programmes (but naturally never questioned the scam casinos they were inflicting on players...!)

So think about it - a scammer can elicit £100 in deposits from you, it's mostly theirs to keep. A proper site where you deposit £100 a month for the year and on average they make their house edge (from that £1200) would be lucky to make the same amount in profit as the scammer did on the £100.

Trust me mate, that's how it all works. You usually find the player is scammed more than once by the natural actions of the player anyway - they mostly lose the whole first deposit (hence why they love the self-destruct of PGs) and will not know it's a scam until after losing multiple deposits when they try and withdraw after eventually winning and of course the BS Bingo game starts, described in the forum link below:

This is the last reply off them

Yes, you're in the Bullshit Bingo game now, always played by scam casinos:

The 10-point bullshit bingo list for potential net winners goes like this:

1. KYC checks (admittedly for ALL their players not just winners but absolutely pointless as they are unlicensed and can do without them and winners will always find there's a 'problem' with their details. These are merely data collection and the details will be used for spamming other scam sites to you then eventually sold on to fraudsters.)

2. Allegations you broke abstemious bonus terms.

They’ve been going since 2020 how the hell haven’t they been stopped by this point not paying anyone and ripping some many people off it’s scandalous

Who would stop them? They don't exist.

You could target hosting and payment processors but they'll just keep changing.

 

[maxd]

... how the hell haven’t they been stopped ...

Dude, Interpol is busy and The World Police don’t exist (yet). Who’s going to pursue them?

Seriously, think about it, unless they are ripping off rich people willing to pay for mercenaries to go hunting they are pretty much untouchable. Piracy has a long and colourful tradition for a reason: it works!

I'd be surprised.

Yeah I’ve seen a few like that not just slow payers, but ones that look like they’ve never paid out at all. Fake licence, fake company, and probably fake games too. Total scam.
I’ve been using a platform called Gamecheck lately. It’s designed to help players spot dodgy sites like these especially ones using fake games or showing other red flags. It’s doing a decent job of protecting players and helping keep the industry honest.
Definitely worth a quick check before signing up anywhere. It can save you a lot of hassle.

Yes, so you told us in yet another thread over the weekend. If you have a legitimate, free checking service to offer then apply to officially represent it on the forum by DM.

One more shilly post regarding this site will result in action being taken against your account here.

There's legitimate ways to get awareness, constantly shilling threads and namedropping the site is not one of them!

Thanks.
