Full analysis
Overview
TVgids.nl is a Dutch television listings and editorial website that presents programme schedules, streaming recommendations, entertainment news, viewing tips, collections, newsletters and mobile applications, operating primarily as an advertising-supported media service with partner integrations.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed between the site’s stated purpose, captured content, historical continuity and external reputation signals. The homepage presents ordinary television and streaming content rather than financial schemes, cryptocurrency activity, credential harvesting or other abuse patterns; its captured interaction surface contained no sensitive form, hidden form or suspected brand impersonation. The available evidence therefore supports an apparently legitimate, low-risk website, while not independently proving the identity of the real-world operator.
- The homepage is identified as an informational television and entertainment service, with no red flags detected and no sensitive form observed.
- The domain is approximately 26.70 years old, based on registration continuity.
- The web archive records 1,617 snapshots spanning 1999–2026, covering 28 years.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious detections, 0 suspicious detections and no confirmed blacklist or phishing result.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The captured pages describe an ad-supported editorial and TV-guide business, not a financial, investment or other visibly regulated service. No licensing claim or registration number is shown in the supplied page content; for this business model, that is a limited transparency note rather than evidence of deception. The site’s apparent legitimacy is supported by its established content profile, historical continuity and clean reputation, but the operator’s real-world identity remains independently unverified. The transport certificate provides encryption and server authentication, although domain-validated TLS does not establish corporate identity.
- The homepage title and content identify TVgids.nl as a television guide and editorial media service.
- Hosting is on AS60781, LEASEWEB-NL-AMS-01 — LeaseWeb Netherlands B.V., NL.
- TLS uses Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, validation level DV, valid to 2026-10-23T23:59:59+00:00.
- The homepage identifies advertising, newsletter and application activity as the apparent commercial model; no regulated financial product or licence disclosure is shown in the supplied content.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, independently match the publisher named in the site’s legal and privacy information with an authoritative corporate or business registry. If a paid partner transaction, subscription or application purchase is involved, review the applicable merchant identity, terms, cancellation and return arrangements, and payment-protection options. Account access should be limited to the official domain and independently confirmed support channels.
- Legal and identity pages should be checked for a consistent publisher name and contact details.
- Terms, privacy and subscription pages should be checked for the responsible entity, applicable consumer conditions and payment arrangements.
- Any login or purchase flow should be checked to ensure that the destination remains the official TVgids.nl service.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website and supports a high-trust, low-risk posture for its stated media purpose. No scam, phishing, impersonation or other contradictory signal was identified, but the available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to three likely origin IP addresses with no identified edge IP addresses, and no CDN was detected; this is an infrastructure-exposure characteristic rather than a legitimacy concern. The hosting environment is nevertheless resolved and technically identifiable, and the site’s TLS certificate is valid.
- Infrastructure resolution identified 3 likely origin IPs and 0 edge IPs.
- CDN detection: false; detected vendors: none.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary browsing and use of the site’s media features are proportionate to the assessed posture; credential or payment actions should remain subject to the independent publisher, transaction and payment-protection checks described above.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about tvgids.nl at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
