Rogue Site Jackpots Heaven Exposed as Fake
Every once and awhile some unscrupulous people come along and try to scam the innocent player into believing they are getting a fair shake. It is not unusual for these people to get away with there illegal behaviour for a short time and as a result some consumers get burned. In today’s virtual realm the world is watching and we are vigilant in sorting out the real from the fake. Rogue online gambling sites are relatively rare as those who do play keep a close watch on their assets.
Recently a web site called
Jackpots Heaven tried to fake authenticity but was quickly exposed by watchdog agency Casinomeister as bogus. Online casino Jackpots Heaven and its software provider Salus Technologies found themselves occupying high Google search engine positions after coming to the attention of the Casinomeister regulars. The site was found to be using disguised graphics and game brands developed by major software providers like Microgaming and RealTime Gaming. Site information and posts by Jackpots Heaven’s “manager” made claims to be licensed in Costa Rica which doesn’t have an online gambling licensing regime and to be regulated by the “LGA”, a body that does not exist in Costa Rica. The bogus site held servers in Panama and not as it claimed in Costa Rica. The server is registered to a U.K. address, which has the server address sent to a cloaked dns server, which appears to lead to Panama. This cyber shuffle is not very effective when it come to fooling the tech and industry savvy individual on the internet today. Making money using stolen identities and intellectual property is a real concern for anyone who works with the internet knowing that there are definite dangers in loosing your content to unscrupulous hackers and thieves. Jackpots Heaven has been shut down as a rogue outfit that lied it’s way into the game, keep your eyes open out there people something that doesn’t seem right probably isn’t right. Usually something that looks to good to be true isn’t true.
