Game Vault
Game Vault is a US fish-game and slots app where credit is bought from agents on social media. It is not a licensed casino. How it works.
Unlicensed app sold through agents
This brand is not licensed in the markets we cover (or only in part of them), so it has no Wayfinder Score. If you play there, you do not get the protections a local licence brings: limits, self-exclusion and a regulator to complain to.

How it works
Game Vault is one of a group of apps spread in the United States through social media pages. Users install it from a web link, buy credit from an agent, usually through a payment app, and ask the same person for a cash-out when they win.
The games are fish shooters, slots and keno of the kind once found in back-room gaming machines.
Where it stands
Game Vault holds no gambling licence in any US state and none in the markets we cover (US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and Ontario). Several states have taken action against apps of this type and the people who distribute them.
There is no regulator and no way for a player to know who runs the app.
What to know
Whether you are paid depends entirely on the agent. Complaints about unpaid winnings and blocked accounts are common with this model, and money sent through a payment app is hard to recover.
