Protect yourself form online fake adverts

Fake online adverts of Holland Casino Online keep popping up. They pretend to be us and and promise high rewards, often urging you to click straight away. Last year, over 1,089 reports were made to take these ads offline. This year, the number has already reached more than 350. Learn how to recognise a fake advert and how to protect yourself.

How do I recognise a fake advert?

Fake adverts can look very real, but there are a few clear warning signs.

1. Incorrect logo or branding
   Fake adverts often copy our logo, and sometimes use images of slot machines or other games. Always check the profile picture and make sure the logo and colours match the ones on our official website. Common fake versions of our logo include:
   
       
2. Unrealistic offers
   If you see a very high bonus or a “unique” promotion that includes payment options, assume it’s fake. We never advertise offers like this. All our current promotions can always be found on our website, without any payment details.
3. Poor spelling and grammar 
   Fake adverts are usually put together quickly and often contain spelling mistakes or strange sentences. For example, “welcome bonus” might be written as “welcombonus”, or “official” as “oficcial”. Our adverts do not contain these errors.
4. Pressure to act quickly 
   We never use words like “click now!” or “act quickly!”. Fake adverts often try to rush you with urgent messages so you’ll click without thinking, often leading to requests for personal information. 
5. Strange URL or unknown website
   This one can be harder to spot, but luckily it’s still recognisable. If you accidentally click on a fake advert and the link shows odd names, do not download anything and close it immediately. All our adverts start with/link to www.hollandcasino.nl, including the one in your browser.
6. Bad or suspicious reviews
   People sometimes comment under fake adverts or fake accounts on Facebook and Instagram to warn others. If you only see positive comments, but you cannot post a comment yourself, the “reviews” were likely written by the scammer. This is done to make the advert look trustworthy when it is not..
