Crypto casinos are booming, but who’s actually verifying the games? As crypto-first operators scale rapidly across regulated, grey, and offshore markets, so does a hidden threat: fake and manipulated casino games designed to look identical to legitimate titles while operating outside the safeguards players assume are in place. This session explores why game authenticity is becoming one of the industry’s most urgent integrity and player protection challenges.

· How fake and manipulated games operate in a crypto-first landscape, and why existing safeguards are no longer enough
· Why licensing alone doesn’t guarantee game authenticity, fairness, or player protection
· The commercial and reputational impact cloned games have on legitimate studios, operators, and trust across the wider ecosystem
· What verifiable trust looks like in practice — and could independent game verification become the next industry standard?
