I noticed this clone of the Wizard of Odds website: https://googamovies.com

If you create anything good on the Internet, people will steal it.

Weird that they just completely copied it... you'd think it would make more sense to just steal the information and create an "original" site that doesn't use the Wizard of Odds name.

The way they have it now, they have to directly link people to it, because if they just search Wizard of Odds, they're going to get the real site.

I guess... I really don't know how internet stuff works.... LOL

link to original post

it seems to be under construction, so maybe some things will change. Tried to click on "about the Wizard?" but nothing happens

not surprised it's China connected

I notice one of the "features" the domain registrar offers is a website forwarding function.

This may explain why some of the parts aren't working.
May the cards fall in your favor.

They haven't (yet) stolen the online "Play-for-Fun" games accessible from WOO.

Outright and shameless piracy.

I have informed the owner of WoO about it. Thanks all for letting us know.
