Mirrors: what the word actually covers

A mirror address is the same platform served from a different web address. Same account, same balance, same history — the only thing that changes is the text in the browser bar. That is the entire technical content of the term. Everything else discussed around it is really about a different question: why people go looking for one.

In Estonia the search itself is the signal

Estonia runs a permit-based gambling market. The Tax and Customs Board issues licences, publishes the list of holders and restricts access to web addresses that operate without an Estonian permit. So when an address fails to open here, that is rarely a neutral technicality. More often it is exactly the signal the supervision exists to produce.

Which gives this page its central point: the moment you start looking for a working link is the right moment to check whether the operator holds an Estonian permit at all. A register entry answers three things — whether a permit exists, whether it is valid, and which addresses it covers. That last line settles the mirror question completely, because an address inside the permit is listed and one outside it is not.

What this page will not do

It will not publish alternative addresses, describe how to route around restrictions, or recommend intermediaries. The reason is not squeamishness but arithmetic: if access is restricted because of supervision, then bypassing the restriction moves a player somewhere their dispute has no destination and their winnings no longer sit under the same tax treatment. That is a poor trade even when the link works.

If the site genuinely will not load

  1. Switch networks — mobile data instead of home wi-fi, or the reverse.
  2. Clear the browser cache and cookies for that site.
  3. Open it on a second device with no existing session.
  4. If you were signed in, establish whether the problem is the site or the account; the latter belongs with support.
  5. If none of that helps, check the register. It distinguishes a fault from a restriction.

An app is not a mirror

The two get conflated constantly. An app is a second interface to the same service, differing only in convenience of access; a mirror is the same service at a different address. And the origin rule applies just as strictly to apps: an installation file may come from the operator's own site or an official store, never from a third-party archive. The comparison is on the mobile access page.

What changes if the address sits outside the permit

Three things at once. A dispute loses its destination, because supervision applies to licensed operators — the sequence is on the complaints page. Verification may no longer run on ID-kaart, Mobiil-ID or Smart-ID, which changes the whole withdrawal logic described under registration. And the tax treatment shifts: winnings from an operator licensed in Estonia are not taxed as income for the player, while other rules apply elsewhere, with the Tax and Customs Board as the authority. The cashier side is mapped on the payments page and the overview starts on the home page.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mirror address?
The same platform under a different web address — same account, same balance, same history. Technically it is another door into the same building; the only question is whether that door falls under the same permit.
Why will the site not open?
Three possibilities: a fault on the platform's side, a local network problem, or access being restricted. In Estonia the third is the one worth taking seriously, because it points at a missing permit.
Do you publish alternative links?
No. We neither publish nor recommend addresses that route around access restrictions, because that works directly against the regulation and lands a reader in an unsupervised environment.
How do I verify an address is the right one?
In the public register of the Tax and Customs Board. Alongside the validity of a permit, the entry shows which web addresses it covers — the only place where the link between address and licence is checkable.
