Recently, a new online casino Selector has appeared in the RU segment, it is actively advertised by some casino streamers and a few affiliates on the sites. I don’t work with them, I didn’t add them to the ratings, I don’t have contacts of managers. Why? Yes, everything is very strange in this casino - let's start with the license.
As soon as this casino appeared, they claimed that I had a license from Malta, the MGA logo hung in the footer about this, but the link did not lead to the licensing authority of Malta, but opened the internal page of the site. It said: Our license number: MGA/CRP/171/2009/01. In the support chat, questions about the license were answered as follows: “You can make a request to the Malta Gaming Authority and make sure the license is valid. We work through SkillOnNet"
Screenshot from the web archive, as it was before (January 10, 2020):
Any license must be clickable. You can also write something on the fence, in the footer of the site, you can place different pictures. There is no link to go to the licensor's website - no license.
SkillOnNet, by the way, is a platform company that the selector has nothing to do with. When a representative of the WinRate casino openly wrote to them on the forum, they replied that they did not intend to discuss this in front of everyone and that MGA simply did not have time to enter them into the license since November. lol.
Here is an example of a Maltese license, a clickable link to this page is in the footer of the SlotsMillion casino website:
Actually, there was nothing like that on the Selector website (because there was no license), and the support offered to make a request to the Malta Gaming Authority and make sure the license was valid.
Sergey, a member of @affgambler_chat, made exactly such a request and received an official response from Malta Gaming Auth:
Translation:
Thank you for the information you provided us. Selector.gg is not licensed by us. Your email has been sent internally for further investigation
And then vzhuh .. and the casino has (according to support) a new Gambling Commission license))) To be more precise, a new picture, png in the footer of the site, they don’t have any new license, as before (so that you understand the license is connected months, the UK license is the most meticulous and generally one of the most expensive):
Well, as usual, there is no clickable link to the Gambling Commission licensing authority:
Watch your hands, soon there will probably be a new “wow” and a new license, or rather a picture in the footer of the site))
Here is an example of a UK license using the Energycasino casino as an example: https://secure.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PublicRegister/Search/Detail/39325, a link to such a page should have every casino that is licensed under the Gambling Commission, there is nothing like this selector, which means there is no license.
Some of the slots are original, some are scripts. I have no idea how you can connect original software in a casino without a license, but Russian craftsmen can’t do anything)) Perhaps they have some main brands with a license, and the selector is just a mirror of some other casino, but with redesigned and interfaced.. don't know, just speculation.
Requests for Netent slots go to the selector-casino.ru server, although they should go to *.casinomodule.com:
At the same time, all new slots from licensed providers appear simultaneously with other online casino sites, it is impossible to fake a slot so quickly, i.e. the casino website contains possibly licensed software.
One more thing: in all licensed slots from Yggdrasil there was a New Year's tournament, in any, but not in the selector)) It's a pity the screen was lost ... so there are no proofs here.
The selectors constantly refer to the fact that they are operated by SkillOnNet Ltd: “This site’s operations are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and is operated by SkillOnNet Ltd” - it is written on the License and Integrity Guarantee page:
But SkillOnNet also has nothing to do with the selector, I wrote to them and this is what they answered me:
Translation (apparently, this situation also annoys them):
Hi Alexander, We are aware of the situation and are taking appropriate steps. Thank you for your information
Naturally, there are no “selectors” among SkillOnNet partners either:
Lies upon lies...
Previously, this is how scripts worked, the minimum cost for software and licenses is the maximum for advertising and marketing. This story also reminds me of something similar, they just learned how to connect licensed software somehow ..
But the casino pays! players withdraw money .. - Scripts also pay in the beginning when there is an infusion of advertising. Then, at one point, everything abruptly collapses, the support turns on the “wait for payments, there are problems on the side of the payment system”, continuing to accept deposits, and then what? .. and then a new brand)) with a new design and name ... The license also does not give super guarantees for RU players - but everything is exactly better with it than without it.
Well, a question for you to backfill: if you are “thrown” in the selector, who will you go to complain to? For streamers? seriously?!
P.s. wrote a question to Netent, I wonder what they will answer)) - for some reason Netent often answers my questions ...
Because one more thing is embarrassing, officially Netent says that rates from 1 kopeck are not available for them .. but the selector does.
