FinTelegram’s new report tracks a striking payment-rail sequence from Lithuania to Poland to Georgia: utPay, ChainValley and Nylo. The working hypothesis is broader — MiCA may be shifting high-risk casino crypto infrastructure without yet disrupting the underlying business.

One week after MiCA’s transition deadline, FinTelegram found Betify’s Skrill and Neteller-labelled deposit routes still leading to Georgian Nylo “Exchange orders” requiring users to buy crypto and send it onward. Nylo’s own Terms and AML Policy raise deeper questions about gambling payments, direct KYC, limited monitoring, VASP status and EU reverse solicitation.

FinTelegram’s latest casino payment-rail reviews indicate a coordinated migration from the Polish crypto on-ramp ChainValley to the Georgian payment gateway Nylo. The pattern looks disturbingly familiar: the same offshore casinos, the same fake-FIAT crypto-buy flow, the same Skrill/Neteller/Rapid Transfer/Paysafecard wrappers — and the same opacity around the true gambling beneficiary.

FinTelegram’s May 2026 review of Betify shows a materially reconfigured payment architecture compared with the August 2024 review. The visible corporate wrapper has changed from Altacore N.V. / Altaprime Limited to Fortuna Games N.V. / Deltaprime Limited, but the underlying risk pattern remains: EU players can apparently access and fund an offshore casino through layered payment rails.

A growing body of indicators suggests that a cluster of outwardly separate online casino brands may be linked, directly or indirectly, to Zentoria Limited and a shared backend payments architecture. FinTelegram reviewed operator attributions, Irish licensing records, repeated payee clues, and live payment flows across multiple brands. The result is not yet a final legal attribution of the full network, but the hypothesis of a Zentoria-linked casino cluster has become increasingly plausible.

Oro.gg, operated by Belize-registered Tusitier Ltd, illegally targets European and British players without valid regulatory licensing. The casino facilitates unauthorized gambling through heavily disguised fiat-to-crypto payment rails. Our analysis reveals that Polish VASP ChainValley—acting as the successor to suspended Lithuanian utPay—systematically circumvents banking blocks, masking casino deposits via mainstream e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, and Revolut.

A German offshore-casino player has provided FinTelegram with a detailed account that directly supports our working hypothesis: ChainValley is replacing Lithuania’s suspended utPay/UTRG stack inside casino cashier flows—especially where deposits are branded as Skrill. The player describes a “Skrill payment” that is actually a crypto purchase + wallet transfer, and a refund/KYC workflow where ChainValley support allegedly sent the verification link—suggesting operational continuity behind the scenes.

The Dutch regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has imposed a €4,228,000 administrative fine on Starscream Limited for offering illegal online gambling to Dutch players via RantCasino, AllstarzCasino, and SugarCasino. The KSA explicitly frames enforcement as a “third-party” problem too—working with payment service providers, banks, hosting, and big tech—because unlicensed casinos don’t scale without rails.

The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has imposed a €4,228,000 administrative fine on Starscream Limited for offering illegal online gambling to Dutch players via Rantcasino, AllstarzCasino, and SugarCasino. The case underlines what FinTelegram has been documenting for months: these are not “minor violations,” but systematic breaches—and the payment stack enabling them is part of the risk surface.

Following FinTelegram's December 2025 exposé on the Winning.io / Scatters Group network, a whistleblower has provided documentary evidence confirming that the economic ownership and control structure traces directly to Starkeast Management B.V., controlled by Menno Jordaan. The whistleblower states: "The owner of these sites (all of them) is now, starkeast service owned by menno jordaan. he is the director of starscream aswell." 

Our review of offshore casino Legiano (legiano.com) shows a recurring “fake-fiat” deposit pattern: what is presented as a normal fiat top-up is, in reality, an embedded crypto purchase (USDC) that is automatically routed to the casino’s wallets via app.chainvalley.pro—with only minimal, pre-ticked disclosure.

Online casinos are easily transferable digital assets. The transfer of Gammix Ltd's casinos to offshore operator Starscream Ltd raises serious questions about the continued illegal gambling activities in Europe. Despite massive penalties from the Dutch regulator KSA, Gammix appears to have simply shifted its operations offshore, where it continues to flout regulatory oversight facilitated by regulated payment processors.
