Result: 10/92 security vendors flag this URL, with multiple established vendors explicitly
categorizing it as PHISHING:
BitDefender - Phishing Fortinet - Phishing
LevelBlue - Phishing Sophos - Phishing
G-Data - Phishing Lionic - Phishing
VIPRE - Phishing Forcepoint ThreatSeeker - Phishing
Quttera - Malicious Webroot - Malicious
(plus alphaMountain.ai, ESET, Gridinsoft - Suspicious)
This is independent, named-vendor confirmation that this URL meets the industry-standard definition
of phishing, not merely our own analysis.
WHY THIS IS PHISHING
This site does not merely resemble the brand - it EXPLICITLY AND REPEATEDLY CLAIMS to be the
brand's official website ("офіційний сайт" - "official site"), a direct, written false statement of
identity intended to make visitors believe they are registering with the genuine Dudebet operator.
Combined with a concealed internal redirector for the actual registration flow and a copied
government-regulator badge, this is a textbook impersonation-based deception - now independently
corroborated by multiple named antivirus vendors as shown above.
EVIDENCE
1. Explicit, repeated false "official site" claim:
- Page title: "Дуде Бет: офіційний сайт Dude Bet в Україні" ("Dude Bet: official website of
Dude Bet in Ukraine").
- og:site_name: "Dude". Meta description: "Дуде Бет UA: офіційний сайт казино та БК..." -
repeats "офіційний сайт" a second time.
2. Copied trust/regulator badge: reproduces the Ukrainian state gambling-regulator badge
(playcity.gov.ua) to falsely appear licensed/legitimate.
3. Reuses a dedicated, brand-specific favicon built specifically to impersonate this brand.
4. Concealed redirect mechanism: registration/play CTAs route through an internal redirector, /go,
hiding the true operator behind the "official site" claim.
5. VirusTotal (above): 10/92 vendors flag the URL, 8 explicitly as "Phishing."
WHY THIS IS ABUSIVE
A written, explicit false claim of being the brand's "official site," a copied government-regulator
badge, a hidden registration redirector, AND independent confirmation from 8+ named security
vendors classifying the URL as phishing, together demonstrate deliberate deception designed to make
Ukrainian consumers believe they are dealing with the genuine Dudebet operator when they are not -
exposing them to financial loss and misuse of personal data.
