Savaspin mirror sites: what they are and the risks
A «mirror» is a copy of a website served on a different address. Casino operators sometimes use alternative domains when the main address is unreachable in a region or for technical reasons. The same idea is exploited by fraudsters, who set up look-alike sites to steal logins, payment details or deposits. This guide explains how mirrors work, what the phishing risk looks like, and how to reach the real site without relying on lists of addresses. It deliberately does not give any mirror URLs.
Why mirrors exist
An operator may run more than one domain for reasons such as regional rules, maintenance or blocking by internet providers. A genuine alternative domain shows the same account, the same balance and the same licence details in the footer. Whether accessing a site through an alternative domain is permitted where you live is a question of local law, and you should check it.
What a fake mirror looks like
- An address with a small spelling change, an extra word or a different ending.
- A login page that asks for more than your usual details, such as a card number.
- Bonus offers far more generous than anything in your account.
- Pressure to deposit quickly, often through messages or social media.
- Licence details missing from the footer, or a number that does not appear in the regulator's register.
How to reach the real site
Use a route you can repeat: the «Go to the offer» button on this site, which always points to the same destination, a bookmark you saved yourself, or the operator's app from its store listing. Avoid links sent in messages, search ads you have not seen before, and addresses shared in chat groups.
Check the licence in the footer
Once a site opens, scroll to the footer. A licensed operator shows the regulator's name, a licence number and the company name. Look up that number in the regulator's public register on the regulator's own website, and check that the company and, where listed, the domain match. A copied logo is easy to fake; a matching register entry is not. The review guide explains the check in more detail.
Bonus offers as phishing bait
Fake sites often use bonuses as bait, because bonus offers already involve codes, deposits and urgency. A message promising a «special bonus» that needs a code entered on an unfamiliar page, or a deposit made to a personal wallet, is a strong warning sign. Genuine promotions appear in your account and come with promotion terms. If an offer looks far more generous than anything shown inside your account, compare the two before doing anything. The promo codes guide explains where real codes are entered.
If you entered details on a fake site
Change your password on the real site at once, turn on two-factor authentication if available, contact your bank or wallet provider if you entered payment details, and inform the operator's support. Keep screenshots of the fake page.
Good habits
Use a unique password, keep the browser updated and check the address bar before logging in. These habits protect every account, not only a casino one.
