Instead of answering serious compliance questions, Impaya’s CEO Sergejs Roslikovs responded to FinTelegram’s investigation with sarcasm on LinkedIn — “Thanks for the advertisement :)”. His COO joined the tone, celebrating the attention. Meanwhile, Impaya has not answered FinTelegram’s formal inquiry. The contrast between public mockery and private silence raises critical questions about compliance culture, accountability, and the handling of alleged threats against a player.
Key Findings
- CEO response via LinkedIn: Sergejs Roslikovs commented “Thanks for the advertisement :)” under FinTelegram’s report
- COO endorsement: Lana Suleymanova replied: “you are getting famous 😄”
- No formal response: Impaya has not responded to FinTelegram’s official inquiry
- Prior allegations: Evidence reviewed by FinTelegram showed a player was threatened with lawsuits and criminal accusations
- Public vs private behavior gap: Informal social-media response contrasts with absence of structured compliance reply

From Threats To Mockery: The Escalation Pattern
FinTelegram’s original report documented a disturbing sequence:
- A player raised concerns about casino-related payment flows
- The player provided transaction-related evidence
- The player received a response allegedly accusing them of:
- blackmail
- extortion
- stalking
- The response included legal threats and sarcasm
Now, instead of addressing these concerns, Impaya’s leadership has shifted tone publicly:
👉 From private intimidation
👉 To public mockery
LinkedIn Reaction: A Window Into Corporate Culture?
The LinkedIn comments to our report are brief—but revealing.
- CEO: “Thanks for the advertisement 🙂”
- COO: “you are getting famous 😄”
There is:
- no denial
- no clarification
- no commitment to investigate
- no concern expressed about the player allegations
👉 For a company operating in the financial/payment sector, this absence is notable.
The Silence That Matters: No Response To Formal Inquiry
Parallel to the LinkedIn activity:
- FinTelegram sent a formal, structured inquiry to Impaya
- The inquiry included detailed compliance questions:
- role in payment flows
- links to Aceiro, Paysolo, Pellopay
- involvement in casino transactions
- complaint-handling procedures
👉 As of publication: No response has been received.
Rail Atlas Context: Why This Is Not Just PR
Impaya is not being questioned randomly. It appears in a broader Rail Atlas payment structure:
Casino front-end
→ Pagagate / Urbenics
→ Impaya / Aceiro
→ Paysolo / Pellopay
→ Yapily Connect
→ Revolut Open Banking
This structure suggests:
- multi-layer payment routing
- fragmented responsibility
- reduced transparency for end users
Compliance Analysis: What The Reaction Signals
The combined behavior — threats + silence + mockery — raises key compliance questions:
1. Complaint Handling Breakdown
- No structured response to the player
- No evidence of escalation to compliance
2. Reputational Risk Blindness
- Public dismissal of a compliance investigation
- No effort to clarify facts
3. Potential Avoidance Strategy
- Ignore formal inquiry
- Engage only in informal public messaging
A Simple Question Remains
If nothing is wrong — why not answer?
For a regulated or payment-facing entity, the expected response would be:
- “We deny the allegations”
- or
- “We are investigating”
Instead:
👉 Silence + sarcasm
Open Questions To Impaya
- Does Impaya stand by the messages sent to the player?
- Why was the complaint not handled via a compliance process?
- Why has Impaya not responded to FinTelegram’s formal inquiry?
- What is Impaya’s role in casino-related payment flows?
- Does Impaya operate or control Aceiro-related infrastructure?
Conclusion
This is no longer just a payment-flow story.
It is a behavior story.
- A player raises concerns
- Evidence is provided
- Threats are allegedly issued
- A report is published
- The company responds with emojis
- The official inquiry goes unanswered
👉 That combination speaks louder than any press release.
