In Russia, gambling is strictly regulated. Online resources that do not have an official licence from the Federal Tax Service are subject to blocking. Therefore, while entering the Vavada site, an error message often appears on the screen. The problem is solved instantly - you just need to go to the mirror and continue playing.
Why is the site blocked?
The blocking of the casino on the territory of the Russian Federation does not indicate its dishonesty. Vavada com is regulated by Curacao - one of the strictest commissions in the online gambling industry. Unfortunately, foreign licences are not legally valid in Russia. Only sites verified and licensed by the Federal Tax Service can operate legally in Runet.
What is a mirror?
The name of the tool is telling: a mirror is a reflection of the main site, that is, it fully reproduces all its features. Such a page has an identical design, interface and functionality. Only the URL address differs. Providers initially ban the main domain, and the backup ones are not immediately found.
Security of mirrors
Official mirrors are created by the site administration, so they work under the Curacao licence and are subject to the same standards and rules. This applies to:
- The integrity of the game. At the heart of all slot machines is the HSC mechanism. The random number generator produces a random sequence of numbers that determines the outcome of the round (what symbols will fall out on the reels of the slot, what number will fall out on roulette, etc.).
- Transaction security. Mirrors use the SSL encryption protocol. During the transmission of information between the player's device and the casino server, any sensitive data is encoded. Even if fraudsters are able to intercept the message, they will receive a meaningless set of characters. It is impossible to read, let alone use the information without the decryption key.
- Responsible Gaming Policies. To help gamblers avoid or cope with addiction, the operator provides tools for self-restraint. You can enable self-exclusion in your profile and restrict yourself from accessing the account for a period of time.
If the domain is taken from a verified source, it is safe to play through it. The reliability of domains found directly online has not been confirmed.
How to find an official domain?
The administration of the bookmaker's office distributes original mirrors of Vavada through trusted sources - support service, social networks and partner sites.
Support service
If the official page is still open, it is better to contact the support team in chat - there they answer almost instantly. You need to click on the yellow ‘Help’ button in the upper right corner and start a dialogue with the manager.
During the blocking period, it becomes difficult to contact via chat. Therefore, it is recommended to save the support contacts in advance. In the footer of the site there is a tab ‘Write us’, where the phone number and email address are indicated.
Social networks
The administration actively maintains pages in Telegram, VKontakte, YouTube and Instagram. There they often publish information about new reserve domains, promotions, tournaments and other important updates. All links are in the footer.
Partners
The operator cooperates with hundreds of reliable sites and bloggers. They too distribute mirror domains in:
- Streams and videos. Mirror domains are directly mentioned or simply shown on screen.
- News. Popular news channels specialising in gambling may host information on ways to get around blocking.
- Text reviews. Authors insert actual domains in the text of the review so that readers can immediately follow the link.
Ordinary players often share working links on thematic forums. Such popular sources as Casinoz, LatestCasinoBonuses, Casino.ru and some others are considered reliable. Before publication, the content is subject to mandatory moderation.
Differences between official and fraudulent mirrors
Attackers create fake pages and pass them off as official. External similarity to the original buys inexperienced users, they register on the site and even make deposits. As a result, confidential data and money are stolen.
To identify a fraudulent mirror you need to:
- Compare the design and content. Fraudsters often make mistakes in the design of the page. On fake sites there are low-quality images, typos, cheap fonts, altered colour schemes and incorrect location of elements (buttons, sections).
- Check contact information. The footer should contain legal information about the casino and links to official contacts.
- Contact support. Scammers are not interested in solving the problems of players. Support service either simply ignores appeals, or responds in a formulaic manner.
How to play?
To continue playing, just copy the received link, paste it into the address bar of any browser and click ‘Enter’. A working mirror of Wawada will load within a few seconds.
