The UK Gambling Commission’s (UKGC) latest warning isn’t just a slap on the wrist—it’s a damning indictment of Leicester City FC, which continues to profit from a sponsorship deal with BC.GAME, an illegal gambling operation masquerading as a “crypto casino.” As victims’ lawyers close in globally, Leicester’s refusal to expose BC.GAME’s shadowy backers raises a chilling question: Is the club complicit in laundering a criminal enterprise?

Opposition politician Luigi Faneyte is taking aim at Curaçao's Minister of Finance Javier Silvania and the Gaming Control Board (GCB) with allegations of corruption, money laundering, and regulatory failures. A supplemental criminal complaint highlights systemic mismanagement in the issuance of gambling licenses and the facilitation of illegal crypto-casino operations.

For many years, the far-far-away Curacao was the regulatory mecca of global online gambling. But that is over. The Lokinvestigation, spearheaded by opposition politician and forensic investigator Dr. Luigi Faneyte, reveals systemic failures and alleged corruption in Curaçao’s online gambling sector.

This is already the second case after Rabidi N.V., where the assets were also transferred and disappeared shortly before the bankruptcy.
