Police are warning the public about a fraudulent gaming website that is claiming to be affiliated with the popular Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario. The website, which goes by the name “Casino Rama Online,” is falsely claiming to offer online gambling services and is using the casino’s logo and branding to deceive unsuspecting players.
According to police, the website is not authorized by Casino Rama or any regulatory body in Ontario. The fraudulent site is asking players to create accounts and deposit money, but there is no guarantee that they will ever see their winnings or deposits again.
“We want to urge the public to be cautious when dealing with online gaming sites, especially ones that claim to be associated with reputable establishments like Casino Rama,” said Detective Mark Thompson of the Orillia Police Department. “It’s important to do your research and make sure that you are dealing with a legitimate and licensed gaming operator.”
In a statement, Casino Rama has clarified that they do not offer any online gambling services and that the fraudulent website is in no way connected to their operations. The casino is working with authorities to investigate the matter and take legal action against those responsible for the deceptive site.
“We take the security and trust of our customers very seriously, and we want to ensure that they are not being misled by these fraudulent schemes,” said a spokesperson for Casino Rama. “We encourage anyone who has been contacted by the fraudulent site to report it to the authorities immediately.”
Police are reminding the public to be vigilant when it comes to online gaming and to only gamble with licensed and reputable operators. If you have any information about the fraudulent website claiming to be connected to Casino Rama, you are urged to contact the Orillia Police Department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
In the meantime, authorities are continuing to investigate the origins of the fraudulent website and warn the public to exercise caution when dealing with online gambling sites. It is important to always verify the legitimacy of a gaming operator before providing any personal information or making a deposit. Casino Rama is also reminding players that they can enjoy a safe and secure gaming experience at their physical location in Orillia, where they offer a wide range of exciting games and entertainment options.
