Overall Summary
Safe
Why we think so

Verdict: ✅ Safe — Arkadium is a long-running browser games site with real traffic, public contact details, and no major blacklist or scam signals. It sees ~3.3 million monthly visits (SimilarTech / SimilarWeb), lists a New York office with phone and Google Places rating (4.4, 11 reviews), and publishes legal/player agreements and support emails. WHOIS and SSL look normal (GoDaddy registrar, valid certificate). No USPTO trademark conflicts, no Google Safe Browsing hits, and crypto/crypto-scam feeds show no listing. The main caution: the site runs many ad networks and ad tech vendors, so users should expect tracking and third-party advertising.

Risk Insights

✅

High traffic and public contact info

About 3.3M monthly visits and a top-20k global rank.
Support email and phone number published; Google Places listing ties to a NYC address.
Multiple press mentions and product announcements in 2023–2024.
⚠️

Privacy / ad exposure

Site runs many ad networks and analytics vendors.
Expect third-party scripts and tracking unless you use blockers.

Contradictory Signals

The site is likely legitimate but ad-heavy; trustworthiness for content/transactions is high while privacy risk is higher.

Signal A: High traffic, established WHOIS and press mentions (signals of legitimacy)

Signal B: Extensive ad/tech footprint (increases third-party exposure and potential privacy concerns)

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Extensive use of advertising and tracking technologies (many ad networks listed), which increases exposure to third-party scripts and tracking.
  • Moderate bounce rate (~44–49%) and typical engagement metrics; not a fraud sign but means users may see many ads or leave quickly.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain age & registrar

Score: 90/100
Passed

"WHOIS data shows a long-established registration and standard domain locks; older domains tend to be less likely to be short-lived scam landing pages."

Reason: Domain created many years ago and registered via a major registrar (GoDaddy), which supports legitimacy.

SSL certificate validity

Score: 90/100
Passed

"SSL issuer and valid-until date were returned; certificate check reported as valid for arkadium.com."

Reason: TLS certificate is present and valid, reducing risk of obvious man-in-the-middle or spoofed landing pages.

Traffic & engagement (SimilarWeb / SimilarTech)

Score: 90/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb reports ~3.3M visits across recent months, pages per visit ~3.4 and time on site consistent with a content-heavy games site."

Reason: High monthly visits (~3.3M) and reasonable engagement metrics consistent with a mainstream games publisher.

Contactability & corporate presence

Score: 90/100
Passed

"Support emails (support@arkadium.com, dpo@arkadium.com), a corporate contact page, and a NYC address with Google Places rating were found."

Reason: Public support email(s), a phone number, and a Google Places listing with a physical address increase traceability.

Blacklist / abuse feeds

Score: 95/100
Passed

"Checks returned no matched threats and the crypto-scam sniffer reported arkadium.com as not blacklisted."

Reason: No matches in Google Safe Browsing and no listing in crypto-scam blacklists.

Trademark / brand impersonation (USPTO)

Score: 85/100
Passed

"A basic USPTO query for 'arkadium.com' returned no hits; this is not a complete legal clearance but shows no obvious USPTO-recorded conflicts."

Reason: USPTO search returned no conflicting trademark results for the query used, reducing risk of active trademark-based impersonation.

Content & press presence

Score: 85/100
Passed

"Multiple news items and press releases (PR Newswire, BusinessWire, GameDeveloper and trade outlets) reference Arkadium activities and game launches."

Reason: Recent press and product announcements in reputable outlets indicate ongoing business activity and a public profile.

Ad / tracking footprint

Score: 50/100
Failed

"SimilarTech lists many advertising and analytics technologies; this does not indicate fraud, but users should expect broad third-party tracking."

Reason: Large ecosystem of ad networks and tracking pixels present, which is common for ad-supported sites but increases privacy and third-party risk.
