Is sortthecourtapk.com legit or a scam?
A suspicious 27-day-old domain impersonating the official 'Sort The Court' game to distribute unverified APK files outside of official app stores.
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.
Analysis Summary
Brand impersonation — not the real site
Domain was registered only 27 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The page exhibits high risk by offering direct APK downloads for a mobile game while displaying an impossible future 'Last Updated' date, which is a common trait of automated malware distribution sites.
What our vision model saw
4 signalsProminent 'Download APK' button for a game typically distributed via official app stores
Impossible 'Last Updated' date of June 9, 2026, indicating a template error or automated content generation
Generic landing page layout designed to distribute mobile executables outside of official channels
Lack of official developer branding or links to verified social media/legal pages
MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only 27 days ago and already claims to be the 'Official' source for a game that was originally a free browser title by a different creator. Our analysis found that the site is a clone of the original itch.io project but lacks any credit to the actual developer. The page displays an impossible 'Last Updated' date of June 2026, which is a common sign of automated content generation used by malware distributors. Furthermore, there is no contact information, privacy policy, or business registration for 'Royal Arcade Games' on the site. These factors combined indicate a high risk of the provided download containing unwanted software or malware.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for sortthecourtapk.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is only 27 days old (registered around early June 2026), matching the page's claimed 'last updated June 9, 2026' date.
- Page presents itself as the official download source for 'Sort The Court' APK v2.4 by 'Royal Arcade Games' (44.6 MB, Android 5.0+), with gameplay descriptions matching the popular yes/no kingdom management game.
- Original game is a free browser/HTML5 title by Graeme Borland, hosted at graebor.itch.io/sort-the-court and poki.com; it has over 10k positive ratings there.
- Legitimate APK listings on APKPure, Uptodown, and TapTap are published under 'Royal Arcade Games' or similar but include explicit disclaimers that they are 'fan-made ports' of Borland's original and link back to itch.io.
- No privacy policy, contact information, external links, or download button details were extractable from the page content; no mentions of malware, scams, or user complaints found in searches.
- No Trustpilot, ScamAdviser, or other review profiles exist for the domain; web searches for the exact domain + scam/review terms returned zero relevant complaints or discussions.
- Royal Arcade Games appears only in connection with this fan-port APK ecosystem and has a Google Play developer page, but no official tie to the original creator.
The site claims to offer an official APK v2.4 of a game originally created as a browser game by Graeme Borland (graebor on itch.io and Poki). Multiple legitimate APK hosts (APKPure, Uptodown, TapTap) explicitly describe their versions as 'fan-made ports' and credit the original creator, while this domain labels itself '(Official)' with no such disclaimer.
