This technical report demonstrates how domain‑level image analysis can be used to identify and cluster gambling‑related websites at scale. DomainTools software helps by enabling analysts to collect and access historical screenshots of domains, then apply perceptual hashing techniques to compare visual layouts across large sets of sites. By automatically detecting “look‑alike” pages and grouping visually similar gambling domains, the platform accelerates discovery of rogue sites, supports risk‑scoring efforts, and reveals patterns in hosting and infrastructure. This capability lets investigators efficiently map large gambling‑related ecosystems, prioritize enforcement actions, and strengthen brand‑protection and online‑fraud detection programs.
