Product Counterfeit and Fraud
 


Counterfeiting is any form of deception designed to fool a buyer (consumer, retailer, distributor, etc.) into believing that they are purchasing a product by Public Games LP. Counterfeit packaging can involve unauthorized use of a registered trademark on the packaging or similar use of the original characteristics and is designed to deceive a buyer with sub-standard product as the genuine Public Games product. The packaging of Public Games products are unique and very recognizable. Please do not make purchase dicisions based on questionable appearance of packaging or cards. Counterfeit products are made to look like the real thing. Counterfeiters may spare no expense in emulate the real deal.

Below are some key points to help identify counterfeit cards...

  • Counterfeit package artwork may look out of focus or with dulled colors.
  • Official Public Games products are only printed in English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, and Italian.
  • The card coating that Public Games uses is similar to regular playing cards. However, counterfeit products may have shiny coatings on them.
  • The hologram located in the lower right-hand corner shows the game logo. Counterfeit holograms are misplaced or can sometimes be scraped off with your fingernail.
  • Card backs say Public Games LP® in the top left hand corner and have the game name located in the bottom right-hand corner. Incorrect spelling or missing artwork can indicate a counterfeit.

Please learn to recognize the official packaging designs, colors, spelling, hologram, and coating. If you or your business have concerns or know of possible counterfeits, please email our Division of Fraud and Flogging at .
