These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
MERCON800 operates as an online gambling platform targeting Indonesian players with promises of 98% win rates, 100% registration bonuses, and payouts of millions of rupiah. The site has no verifiable business registration, no legitimate operator information, and no postal address or company contact details. Multiple users on Facebook directly accuse the site of refusing to pay withdrawals and blocking accounts after deposits. Independent review aggregators assign it an extremely low trust score with explicit scam warnings. The domain infrastructure is shared with dozens of similar short-lived gambling domains, a pattern typical of disposable fraud operations. The combination of unrealistic financial promises, confirmed withdrawal-refusal complaints, and complete absence of legitimate business credentials makes this a high-confidence gambling scam.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as an online gaming platform with slot games (Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, Mahjong Ways, Starlight Princess). It advertises a 98% win rate, minimum top-up of Rp 10,000 (approximately USD 0.65), 100% registration bonus, and claims of instant payouts up to millions of rupiah. The page displays partially redacted winner names and prize amounts. No legitimate business operator, license number, or regulatory body is mentioned anywhere.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and is hosted on IP 104.21.79.204 with zero abuse reports. However, the domain shares infrastructure with dozens of similar Indonesian gambling domains (mercon800-alt.online, mercon800.vip, appmercon800.com), a hallmark of affiliate-operated disposable gambling networks. WHOIS data is unavailable, preventing verification of legitimate ownership.

Domain History

The domain appears to be recently registered (exact age hidden; an independent review aggregator notes it as young). No business registration, PT (Perseroan Terbatas), or legitimate operator details exist in any public database. The site is not indexed in global traffic rankings.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators assign a very low trust score (1/100 in some views) with explicit scam warnings. A Facebook post from a user directly accuses MERCON800 of being a scam site that refuses to pay withdrawals and blocks accounts. No positive reviews or legitimate business endorsements were found.

Risk Factors
7
  • Multiple confirmed user complaints on Facebook reporting non-payment of withdrawals and account blocking.
  • Extremely low trust score (1/100) from independent review aggregators with explicit scam classification.
  • Unrealistic financial promises: 98% win rate, 5000x multiplier, and instant payouts of millions of rupiah.
  • No verifiable business registration, company details, operator license, or regulatory compliance information.
  • Domain infrastructure shared with dozens of similar short-lived Indonesian gambling domains, indicating a disposable fraud network.
  • No contact email, postal address, or legitimate business identification on the page.
  • Minimum deposit of Rp 10,000 (approximately USD 0.65) combined with massive payout claims is a classic low-barrier-to-entry scam pattern.
Positive Signals
3
  • Valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports in reputation databases.
  • Page loads without malware or phishing engine detections.
AI Recommendation
Do not deposit money or enter personal information on this site. If you have already deposited funds, do not expect to receive withdrawals — this is a confirmed non-paying gambling scam. Report the site to your local consumer protection authority and your payment provider.
