Overall Summary
Safe
  Why we think so? 

Verdict: ✅ mope.io appears to be a legitimate browser game with high traffic, an active trademark, and no major blacklist or scam reports. The site shows steady monthly visits (~448K), a registered trademark for MOPE.IO, valid HTTPS, and public coverage of an acquisition by Addicting Games. Most signals point to a real, established game rather than a scam, though community complaints about monetization and post-acquisition support exist.

Risk Insights

🏷️

Brand & Ownership

  • MOPE.IO is a live USPTO-registered trademark (registration 6299131).
  • Addicting Games acquired Mope.io in 2020 — public coverage confirms a business transaction.
  • WHOIS privacy is enabled (Domains By Proxy), so registrar details are redacted in public records.
🛡️

Technical Health

  • Valid SSL certificate and Cloudflare CDN in use.
  • No Safe Browsing or crypto blacklist matches were found.
  • Traffic figures and ad/analytics tech stacks are consistent with a monetized web game.

Contradictory Signals

The site is clearly an established product but the public WHOIS privacy and limited scraped contact details make it harder to verify a single operational owner record.

Signal A: USPTO trademark and acquisition news (signals of an established brand)

Signal B: Redacted WHOIS and limited direct contact info (reduces visible accountability)

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • WHOIS registrant data is privacy/redacted (Domains By Proxy), which removes an ownership contact in public records.
  • Community complaints about monetization and dev responsiveness after acquisition — some users report frustration with prices and updates.
  • Bounce rate and page-per-visit metrics show low engagement depth (high bounce ~68–75%), which is common for casual games but worth noting.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain age & WHOIS

Score: 80/100
Passed

"mope.io has an original registration date of 2016 and current expiration in 2027; the record is redacted via a privacy service (Domains By Proxy), which is common but removes a public owner contact."

Reason: Domain registered in 2016 and not newly created or transient.

SSL and hosting

Score: 82/100
Passed

"SSL certificate is valid (issued 2025-09-19 and not expired) and the site uses Cloudflare nameservers and edge IPs—this reduces risk of simple impersonation or unencrypted credential capture."

Reason: Valid SSL and usage of Cloudflare CDN provide baseline technical safety.

Traffic & engagement

Score: 84/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb and SimilarTech report hundreds of thousands of monthly visits and primary traffic from search and direct sources, which is typical for an established .io game."

Reason: Consistent monthly visits (~448k) and strong direct/search traffic indicate a real product with organic users.

Reputation & news

Score: 80/100
Passed

"News outlets documented Addicting Games' acquisition in 2020; searches and community forums show complaints about monetization and support but no authoritative scam findings."

Reason: Press coverage of acquisition and ongoing community discussion; no major fraud reports.

Trademark / brand ownership

Score: 88/100
Passed

"USPTO lists MOPE.IO as a registered mark (registration number 6299131) with owners and filing events—this is a strong signal of formal business/brand claims."

Reason: USPTO record shows an active registration for MOPE.IO.

Blacklist & malware checks

Score: 90/100
Passed

"Scanners and Google Safe Browsing returned no matches for malware, phishing, or crypto scams tied to mope.io at time of check."

Reason: No detections on Safe Browsing or crypto scam lists.

Contact & support transparency

Score: 60/100
Failed

"Public contact points are limited to social profiles (Twitter, Facebook) and Zendesk in technical fields; absence of a clear company address or support phone is typical for small game sites but reduces direct accountability."

Reason: No email or phone scraped; only social links and Zendesk noted.

Business validity / transactions

Score: 78/100
Passed

"The site uses ad networks and has in-game purchases; press on the 2020 acquisition implies an operating business model rather than a throwaway domain."

Reason: Site monetizes via ads and in-game purchases; acquisition was reported publicly.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    If you plan to make purchases, use a payment method with buyer protection (credit card or a trusted payment provider).

  • 2

    Check official social channels (Twitter, Facebook) linked from the site for current announcements or support notices.

  • 3

    Keep an eye on transaction receipts and bank statements for unexpected charges and report any unauthorized charges immediately to your payment provider.

  • 4

    If you see suspicious links or third-party downloads claiming to be the game, avoid them and only use the official mope.io domain or recognized stores.
