The Ontario Provincial Police, Investigations and Enforcement Bureau (IEB), and Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) are alarmed by fraudulent online gaming ads masquerading as Casino Rama.
The scam directs users to WinSpirit Casino, an unregistered site.
On April 11, the OPP's IEB received reports of deceptive gaming ads resembling Casino Rama's platform, leading to a fake application download page linked with WinSpirit Casino, an unregistered entity.
The IEB and AGCO urge the public to take control of their online gaming safety.
They stress the crucial importance of verifying AGCO registration before accessing any online casino sites advertised on social media.
Rest assured, Ontario's regulated gaming sites are committed to upholding the highest standards of game integrity, data security, and player protection.
Ontario residents are urged to consult the OLG and iGaming Ontario websites for a comprehensive list of regulated gaming sites.
The IEB, a division of OPP operating within AGCO, conducts criminal and regulatory investigations to ensure integrity and public safety in AGCO-regulated industries.
