iGaming lives and dies on search visibility, and it operates in an environment where domains multiply fast: an operator brand, its country variants, mirror domains, and a long tail of affiliate and comparison sites feeding traffic in. Every one of those is a domain that can be named in a copyright-removal request, and almost none of them get checked.
Where copyright-removal activity shows up in iGaming
Affiliate and comparison content
Review sites, bonus tables, odds comparisons and strategy guides get copied constantly in both directions. Where content is scraped and re-published, removal requests follow — and bulk enforcement does not always land on the copy rather than the original.
Odds, data feeds and statistics
Sports data is licensed, and licensors enforce. Pages republishing odds, fixtures, results tables or feed-derived statistics can attract complaints from data-rights holders even where the operator believes the use is permitted.
Brand assets on mirror and regional domains
Logos, game imagery and promotional creative reused across country domains and partner sites are a common target, particularly where an affiliate has continued using assets after a deal ended.
Game imagery and provider content
Slot screenshots, provider artwork and demo assets appear across thousands of pages. Providers and their agents file at volume, and long URL lists sweep in pages nobody reviewed individually.
Competitive and adversarial filings
In a sector this competitive, removal requests are occasionally used as a visibility tactic. A pattern of filings against your highest-value commercial pages by one sender is worth documenting.
A monitoring routine that fits a domain portfolio
- Inventory every domain you actually control — main brand, country variants, mirrors, legacy domains and any affiliate properties you own.
- Baseline each one so you know the existing history before you start reacting to new activity.
- Track the revenue-bearing domains first: the ones carrying branded search and your top commercial pages.
- Review only what is new since the last check, rather than re-reading the whole history each month.
- Escalate on pattern — repeat senders, accelerating timelines, and requests naming pages that convert.
- Export findings for compliance and partner records, since regulated operators generally need the paper trail anyway.
What DMCA Detector shows you
DMCA Detector searches Google's public copyright-removal records by domain. You get the request history and timeline, and — signed in — the reporting organisation, copyright owner, affected URLs, hit counts, statuses and any available Lumen notice links. It does not scan the web for copies of your content, and it does not file takedown notices.

FAQs
Can I check affiliate domains I do not own?
Yes. Google's copyright-removal records are public, so no site verification or Search Console access is needed. That is what makes partner and affiliate domains checkable at all.
Does a request mean our pages were delisted?
No. Google reviews requests and declines a meaningful share of them. Check the status recorded against each URL rather than assuming removal.
We run dozens of regional domains. Can they all be monitored?
A free account tracks up to five websites. Pro monitors up to 50 with scheduled checks and email alerts — see pricing.
