What is a casino mirror site?

What is a mirror site? The plain definition

A mirror site is a duplicate of a website, with the same look and often the same pages, reached at a different domain. In general web use, mirrors spread traffic or keep a site reachable if one address goes down.

In the casino world the word is looser. It can mean a backup address that the casino itself controls, or a lookalike site run by someone else that copies the brand's name, logo and offers. The second kind is the one to watch for. Our casino questions hub covers related safety questions, and the mirror site glossary entry has the short version.

Official mirror sites vs unofficial copycat sites

The test is simple: a real mirror is one the casino confirms. If you can't find the address on the casino's own pages or get it confirmed by its support team in writing, treat the site as unofficial. Our longer casino mirror sites guide goes through more examples.

Partner casino web addresses: what's confirmed and what isn't

Here's how each partner's address checks out. Where the casino's own pages confirm the domain, that's marked primary. Where only a review site lists it, that's marked third-party.

SlotoCash's support page (opens in a new tab) states that the site runs from its .im domain, which is the clearest primary confirmation among the partners. For Planet 7, the address comes from listings such as AskGamblers' Planet 7 review (opens in a new tab), not from the casino's own pages, so confirm it through support before you sign up. Note that a separately named Planet 7 Oz brand exists for Australia; it isn't the same site.

Where unofficial mirror sites contradict independent sources

The unofficial mirror sites reported for Planet 7 and Royal Ace show no operator, license or affiliate disclosure, and parts of their content don't match what independent reviewers report. A few examples:

A wrong phone number or code isn't just an error. If you call a number or enter a code from a copycat, you may be dealing with someone other than the casino. For codes that are actually live, check the casino's own cashier; our page on bonus codes that work explains why codes change.

Why unofficial casino mirror sites are risky

• Your login: a lookalike login page can capture your username and password. Our phishing scams guide shows the warning signs.
• Your documents: KYC files such as a photo ID and utility bill sent to the wrong place can be misused. Our page on what KYC is lists what casinos legitimately ask for.
• Your deposit: the FTC warns that crypto payments generally can't be reversed (opens in a new tab) and lack the legal protections cards have, so a Bitcoin deposit to the wrong wallet is usually gone.
• Wrong terms: a copycat's bonus terms don't bind the real casino, so a promise there means nothing at the real cashier.

Here's what that can cost in dollars. A $200 Bitcoin deposit sent to a wallet address shown on a copycat page is $200 you can't claw back, and the real casino has no record of it.

How to spot a fake mirror site and reach the real casino

1. Find the address on the casino's own support, help or terms pages, or on a review page you trust, and save it as a bookmark.
2. Type that address yourself or use the bookmark. Don't follow links from emails, texts or social media posts that you didn't ask for.
3. Check that the footer and terms name the same company and license details you've seen before. Silver Oak's terms, for example, name Primrose Media Limited and an Anjouan license.
4. Compare the support email domain with the site domain; SlotoCash's support uses its .im domain.
5. Ask live chat to confirm, in writing, any new address you're sent.
6. Never send documents or crypto to an address you can't tie back to the casino's own pages.
7. If you think you've entered details on a copycat, change your password and contact the real casino's support straight away.

Mirror sites and blocked access: don't go hunting

Some players look for mirror addresses when the main site won't open or when a casino doesn't accept their state. Don't. Using a mirror site to get around a casino's restrictions or a state's law is evasion, and it doesn't change the law where you are or the casino's own rules. If the official address doesn't load, contact the casino by the email listed on its own pages and ask why.

If the reason is that the casino doesn't serve your state, accept the answer and check our state-by-state guide for what's lawful where you live.

Mirror sites, offshore casinos and US law

Every partner on this site is an offshore casino, not licensed or regulated by any US state. That means no state regulator to report a copycat to and no state-backed protection if a deposit goes astray. Michigan's Gaming Control Board has named offshore brands in cease-and-desist releases, including Planet 7 and Silver Oak in its April 9, 2025 release (opens in a new tab).

Licensing bodies can help with verification in some cases. The Curaçao Gaming Authority's site (opens in a new tab) links a license register and a public warnings page, though whether the register works as a searchable checker isn't published. Our offshore casinos legality page and are offshore casinos safe answer cover the bigger picture.

Partner casinos with confirmed web addresses and an offer via our links

These partners pay us commission, and our order is commercial. For this page we show casinos whose web address is confirmed on their own pages. We've left out Planet 7 and Royal Ace here because unofficial copycat sites use their names and their addresses come only from third-party listings; the full Planet 7 review and Royal Ace review cover them. All partners are offshore and not licensed by any US state, so check your state's law first.
