Visual 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 similarities noted — cleared by the overall checks
Our vision model noted some visual similarity to a known brand, but the domain, security records, and reputation checks confirm this is the legitimate site — so this is shown for transparency, not as a red flag.
What our vision model saw
1 signalPage renders a 403 Forbidden error
Intelligence
The domain has been registered since August 2009 and belongs to Absolute Sports Private Limited, a company incorporated in India in 2010. Our antivirus network returned zero detections across 92 engines and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The page currently returns a 403 error, which blocks content inspection but does not change the underlying legitimacy signals. Independent review aggregators rate the site as safe with high trust scores, and three positive mentions were located with no complaints or scam reports found. The parent company is publicly listed on the Indian stock exchange, adding another layer of verifiable corporate structure. These factors together point to a legitimate media outlet rather than any fraudulent operation.

What to do
Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on sportskeeda.com and not a lookalike like s-portskeeda.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
- OpenDiscuss this site on the forum
