Website trust report
pokershop.ch
65/ 100
Overview
The website pokershop.ch presents as generally trustworthy, supported by a long-standing domain, valid HTTPS, and published, verifiable company information. However, there are inconsistencies in seller names and company identity across different pages, along with unusual redirect behavior and placeholder content, which are warning signals. The limited independent reputation means a reliable pattern of experiences could not be established.
What should I do?
Given the inconsistencies and unusual technical behavior, it is advisable to proceed with caution. Consider verifying the specific company operating the website if making a significant purchase, and save screenshots of product descriptions and terms of sale.

Findings
Most serious first. Open a finding for the detail and its source.
Seller names differ across source pagesCompany identity · high confidence
Seller names differ across fetched pages: PokerShop.ch (https://www.pokershop.ch/shop/kontakt.php); MEB Trade GmbH (https://www.pokershop.ch/shop/USER_ADMIN_HILFE.php?Hilfe_ID=AGB). These are website claims; consistency does not independently establish the operator's identity.
