Short answer: An official website is the one operated by the licence holder itself. Everything else — copies with similar names, pages advertised in messengers, and unofficial installers — belongs to third parties who are not bound by the operator’s rules and do not hold your money.
What makes a source official
A licensed operator publishes the company name, registration number and regulator details in the site footer, and the same data appears on the regulator’s own register. The connection is served over HTTPS with a valid certificate issued to that domain. Terms, privacy policy and responsible gaming rules are available before registration, not after it. Support is reachable through channels listed on the site itself rather than through an account that wrote to you first.
Signs of a copy
Typical warning signs are a domain with an extra word or a swapped letter, a page with no legal footer, promises of guaranteed winnings, pressure to install a file straight away, and requests for card details outside a payment provider’s form. Copies often reproduce the design pixel-for-pixel, so appearance proves nothing — check the address bar, the certificate and the licence data instead.
Why it matters for your account
Credentials entered on a copy go to whoever built it, which can mean a lost balance, a lost verification and an account used by someone else. Payments made outside the official cashier are not recorded against your profile and cannot be recovered by support. Legality also depends on where you are: gambling rules differ by country and the responsibility for following local law stays with the player.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check the licence?
Take the licence number from the site footer and look it up in the regulator’s public register; the company name must match.
Does a padlock in the browser mean the site is genuine?
No. A padlock only means the connection is encrypted — a fake page can have one too. Check the domain name and the licence data.
Where should the mobile app come from?
Only from the operator’s own site or an official app store. Installers received in chats or from file-sharing sites can be modified.
Summary
An official source identifies its licence holder, publishes its terms openly and never asks for payment details outside the cashier. Verify the domain and the register entry before signing in, and remember the service is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
