However, I do agree that important websites should never be accessed via search engines, links on third-party sites, or email. It is always safer to enter the site's URL directly into the browser's address bar, or to navigate to it using saved bookmarks.
What also helps immensely here is to use an adblocker. The scam sites usually buy advertising spots in Google search, and would never be on top in a normal search without payment, because the clicks are far too few. If you install an adblocker, the Google Ads will also be hidden and you won't see the fake sites at all.

@aysg76 I don’t know about you’ll but for gambling and crypto sites I don’t recommend using google, rather use some other browser which has better security in place. Also if you’re new to a site eg Roobet take a minute and read those spelling in the url, they’ll always be wrong if it’s a fake url, and the book marks is a good suggestion which I personally follow to be safe.
