The copycat title I would disagree with. There are certain things that are intellectually protected, inclusive of drawings and industrial designs. I am not so sure about the interfaces and the ability to copy interaction styles with the users. However that are other things that ate not subject to protection. For instance, would you accuse of copycat someone using a wheel?
True, that's why the whole copy cat with online casinos dilemma is in the gray area because there are certain thing that are IP, but then again you do some twist about the design and drawing and get away with it.

But slot operators just uses one design and then deployed it to different casinos. Now we see familiar designs when we move from one casinos to another that there is no copycat infringement.

Not especially exclusive to crypto casinos, but casinos in general. Ideas that make it big elsewhere are copycated all the time. I guess you'll know this only when you try all those shady online casinos that are out there, especially in China or Philippines!

Personally I think copycats are in every industry. If you have a mobile app and you don't want to pay, and are forced to watch ads, then you know what I mean. Thousands of ads all looking the same as each other.

Same as going to Google Store search 1 app, see 100 copies.
This happens everywhere, if a product which is innovative is released and people are buying it in just a few days hundreds of cheap copies appear on the market, but this is stifling innovation as those people need to pay all the research costs and when they finally have a product they can sell it is immediately copied and they are not paid any royalties either, so I think this is the reason why no one is taking any risks as it simply makes no sense for them to take them.
This is in fact reality on which if there's something had been successfully gaining or getting some attraction then this is where other people would be tending to copy it out and believe that they could get somehow

some market share when the trend is still in going until the market would be flooded out by similar projects which ending up on being saturated and people who do engage on it would flock away into something new.

Innovation is really limitless yet ideas and other concepts would be made out but no one knows on when it would happen.The first in the market will always be getting that
attention and recognition and this is what other people been trying out to made on.

Leading Crypto Sports Betting & Casino Platform
True. Most gamblers are not that 'picky' when it comes to games that is offered to them as essentially they are all the same, just different visuals and graphics. If the casino proved to be a reliable and trustworthy platform, gamblers would have no problem playing on them. What we're after is a good place with a good reputation and some kind bonuses too. Sure it might feel off playing on a casino that has a lot of its elements copied on another casino, but after sometime I won't really mind, so as the casino fulfills what I want in a gambling platform.
This is correct, gamblers which have been enjoying the activity for long enough know that the games offered by the casinos may differ on the visual aspect but at their core they are incredibly similar, which is why that as long as the game that they like is being offered by the casino in which they want to play they will focus on way more important aspects that affect them directly, like the amount and rate at which they received bonuses and how trustworthy the casino is.
What we are mostly interested in when we play is to make profits and are not that interested in a gambling site that is a copycat of other gambling site. We want to keep playing what we know best in a platform where our money can be safe without any difficulties or problems with us cashing out when we win and y games.

I don't remember in which betting site it is nascent, that they made a small negative feedback just for having copied the same format from another casio, the truth is when I saw that review because I didn't see any other option than not to insist or make myself manifest for those options casino, then I don't know, but when one site is a copy of the other it gives a bad feeling, or you have to be careful, I know that some think that if you play, win and withdraw they are good casinos and even reliable, but I think this is not it is everything, much more care must be taken, because it is the money that is at stake and it is very unpleasant that something like this is done and you want to withdraw it and you cannot.

The copycat title I would disagree with. There are certain things that are intellectually protected, inclusive of drawings and industrial designs. I am not so sure about the interfaces and the ability to copy interaction styles with the users. However that are other things that ate not subject to protection. For instance, would you accuse of copycat someone using a wheel?

Almost all creative work that can be written down or otherwise captured in a tangible medium is protected by copyright law. It's that simple.

Copyright protects the creative act itself: the author's creation, not the idea behind it. In your example, the wheel is an idea. Ideas cannot be protected by copyright (they can be protected in some other way, for example by patent), but the specific creative work that was created from that idea is protected by copyright.


The truth is that I did not know that there were copyrights in accordance with the setting of a casino, everything sometimes seems very similar, the providers are many of the slots, and generally all the slots are very similar to each other, but of course there are casinos that I have seen, which are relatively new and seem to be exact copies of others, I have seen very similar to stake.com, bitcasino.io, they have the same configuration, in fact one gets in and knows the casino well and everything, and the only thing What changes is the name of the casino, I have come across casinos of that style, and it is really surprising, although I think that some do well, and it is accepted.

Of course being a unique gambling casino would be better than a copycat, no doubt about that, but in reality it's practically impossible. The established model of sports betting, for example, is so good, so convenient for bettors, that with making something entirely new you are risking to be left without customers. Let alone slots that are rented from software providers. They are all the same. How can you be unique in that department? Yes, some gambling sites have their own slots, but it's only one or two among many hundreds of leased ones, and that’s because it is very costly to create a good slot.

That's why I think it is enough to be a bit different, in a good way, to win the competition these days.
True, it will require a huge upfront investment to try to differentiate from the other casinos without any guarantee that this will bring any clients,

Exactly. Why people should go to your platform if they are already using several gambling platforms and absolutely satisfied with the experience? When there are so many good online casinos there's a high probability that your site will be worse than others if you are trying to create something new. I'm not advocating copycatting here. Please, do add some features that no one else has, but only if they are really useful. Don't make otherness your main goal.

Differenciation in general is difficult to find everywhere. It would seem that everything is now created to satisfy and algorithm that makes everything out there, including casinos but also all websites, all videos and even movies look pretty much like each other. It is like the guy who said that if people want to buy Coke, I am not going to sell them Pepsi. It kills innovation.
I understand the sentiment because indeed as movies nowadays are almost alike thought there are differences yet either the story or even names are sometimes the same, the sequel are just being maneuver to look different.

and besides as so many gambling sites being created and published? we can see almost everyday there is a  new one? I'm afraid that copy cat will be prevented as either intentional or not yet they wanted business to operate and earn.

It is good to see how the online gambling industry is growing and how every day new casinos emerge with amazing new features, superior gaming experience and mind blowing graphics. If a casino takes inspiration or copies some ideas from another casino, then they are certainly not doing anything wrong. However, if a casino takes too much from other casinos and doesn't add anything new or unique to their own, or worse, copies the whole website design and features of another casino, then it's not a good idea.

100% agree and we can see that most sites solely copy other sites without adding something new/different will not last longer.
Simply because people will prefer to stay in the original sites because of some different reasons and.
As per my own experience or based on my preferences, it is rare for me to be attracted with a copycat casino.
Perhaps because I do not get the feel whenever I see a copycat site, or in other words is that I have negative thought for such copycat site.

I do ignore most of the time whenever i do see similarly designed sites or getting on the same theme on current existing sites or platforms in the market.Im that really a fan on checking out new platforms on the time

that they do make out some announcement here on this forum and if i do find out that there's nothing new and the worst they had copied on those old trusted sites then i do lose interest and just stick into the
current gambling site that im dealing off with.Its never been interesting on playing a site with having no reputation and you cant still trust them even they had copied out those trustworthy sites
that we've known.

There is nothing wrong with wrong with a casino copying one or two things from other casinos to make the own more better with best user's friendly interface. Gamblers will not see a real casino that has real content then for for it when it does not have interesting games and fast withdrawal and deposit system. Everyone want to gamble on a safe casinos where our funds is safe and uses will not be ban for having multiple winnings.
We all want a safe place to place our bets and cash out our winnings without any restrictions. Whether a casino is a copycat or not, well want to gamble on a reliable casinos.

Most of the online casinos want to make sure they have a customer that sticks around for a long time and doesn't change their preferences or habits. As a result, most online casinos spend a lot of time researching and creating game systems, features and prizes that they can offer to keep those customers happy. So, when a casino clones another casino, it's definitely bad for business and could easily turn customers away. It may even be considered as a breach of intellectual property rights.

It is clear that people are overreacting on the copycat situation, if it is not a phishing attempt, then finding casinos with just a little bit of design difference but generally the same thing would be going on for sure. I mean I know a lot of casinos that just copied the system of stake, and did their own version of it but none of them are even remotely close to it.

This is why I highly doubt that stake is worried about any copycats. That is why if you are a good casino then you have nothing to worry about. I personally do not worry about any of this as a gambler because I know which ones are good and I only gamble in those ones without a worry.

it will require a huge upfront investment to try to differentiate from the other casinos without any guarantee that this will bring any clients, I think it is better for casinos owners to concentrate on the execution of the casino itself and try to be slightly better or at least on par with what we already see with successful casinos, for example some casinos grow so rapidly their customer support can be very slow to answer to your inquires, if you could make your customer support to become top notch in the industry that could be more than enough to get a lot of clients.
Huge fund allocation for marketing or advertisement doesnt really give assurance when it comes to success specially if your platforms doesnt really give out something new and the worst you are copying

on current existing casinos or platforms which would'nt really be that appealing in the eyes of the community which it would really be normal that they would rather get some bad impressions instead of good.
We are really that wanting to see which havent been seen on this market and we've seen several platforms which do almost mimic's out and existing one
but eventually they do fail because they've been being ignored.
What can it only do is that their platform will get noticed and people will check it out (literally) like they will only visit it and then leave because their first impression is bad. Having a good site with a less marketing isn't also good because your good site will hardly get noticed or visited by the many although it might still have a little progress because those who tried it out might recommend their friends are family in your casino and then those people will also recommend the people that they know.

I've read some comments here and they say that it's fine for them if a casino copies the other casino so maybe it also depends on the person that views it.

what are you mentioned here actually? I can't find any matches in your post with this topic. Here op said something about copy gambling games.

It does not matter if a casino is a copycat of another casino unless they have been opened to scam users. I like competition and if these copycat casinos are offering something unique and are aggressive in marketing then they will find new users which would make trusted casinos to improve more. What you have quoted as a copycat is the design and logo which were not legally protected.

It shouldn't necessarily be "much much" better. Imo, just slightly better would be enough to win the competition. It wasn't like this before the Internet because living in one part of the world people had had little to no idea of what's going on in other parts, and even if they knew about something being better in other country, they couldn't use it. So, indeed, you had to have something much much better to draw the attention of potential customers from other countries. Now you can just copy something nice, improve it a little, and you are the winner.
Globalization has really affected almost all aspects of our lives, this is now true not only for casinos or businesses in general but also for people, now you are competing not only against the people that went to school with you, you are competing against people from all over the world, but as you say in order to be a winner in that race you do not have to be so above the competition, because that is very difficult, you only need to be a slightly better option and that will be more than enough to beat the majority of your direct competition.
^That is why being a unique gambling casino would be better than a copycat gambling casino.
Every kind of business has competition and the more you are different from others people would love to explore and experience other features that you have even though the mechanics of the games are almost the same at least you are different from others. A gambling casino that has its own developers would be better than buying a script that has already made it possible there are similarities to other gambling casinos.

Well even in traditional and land base casino's you can see a lot of similarities as well, maybe just some variations on the style and aesthetic of the casinos. But still the concept is the same, card table games, baccarat, roulette, slot machines, craps, fro the same provider.

And so this might be the case on some online casinos as well, and so they look alike, maybe the software being used is from the same provider, same with those slot games as well.

Correct. The most popular casino games were invented decades ago and now all of them have the same thing like roulette, blackjack, poker...

Crypto casinos started with dice but they are expanding. It's easy to say they're all copying the same thing but in reality they are thinking of adding new  things like crash or pachinko. Some sites have wheel of fortune and many other games. They are trying. If OP can make something better that's great. I hope it won't end with nothing but big words.

Yeah, and I think the point of contention here is the UI, that it has a lot of similarities to one site. Again, this might be true but you can't avoid it and I will go back again to the analogy on traditional base casinos.

Like what we have here in our country, big 3, games are similar, but if you look at the design, for example the entrance there could be quite differences but it is negligible. But once you go inside, the same games. So that might be the experience as well in crypto based casinos.
This for me is irgandte, I have seen many casinos that have the ambition very similar to that of stake.com, others with that of bitcasino.io, so I do not know whether to trust sites like this, because I believe that above all there must be legitimacy and the authenticity of any site, this for me is a reason to be careful about putting money there, I don't know if it's because they copy the designs or there is a way to buy certain things, that come with the domain or something, for me these things have a lot what to see, I have seen new casinos that are launched with their own design and although they lack a little and when they are suggested they improve, something that seems excellent to me, I think that is preferable.
