ScamInfo.ai Flags 26.4% of 591 Gambling Sites as High Risk

2 articles · Updated · Newsfile · Jun 25

Summary

  • 26.4% of 591 gambling and betting domains analyzed by ScamInfo.ai were rated high or critical risk, while only 2 sites earned its top trusted label.
  • The report says gambling produced 34.7% of all critical-risk domains in a 7,185-site dataset, with an average risk score of 35.8—nearly double the overall average.
  • Five recurring warning signs drove those scores: missing legal pages, hidden WHOIS ownership, one-year domain registrations, SSL certificates that did not signal legitimacy, and cheap TLDs such as .online.
  • Southeast Asia appeared to be a key target market, with naming patterns pointing to Filipino and Indonesian users; across the full dataset, .online domains were about seven times more likely than .com to be rated critical.
  • The broader scan still found 70% of all domains low risk, suggesting scam exposure is concentrated in categories such as gambling, finance, trading platforms and crypto rather than spread evenly online.
