How do I know if an IPTV provider is reliable and not a scam?

A reliable IPTV provider uses secure servers, stable CDNs, encrypted streams, real customer support, clear pricing, and transparent ownership. Scammers often change domains daily, refuse trials, offer unrealistic channel counts, or communicate only on Telegram. Check reviews, test a trial, verify HTTPS availability, and ensure the provider does not expose credentials in URLs.
