Following FinTelegram’s recent reporting on SOFTON LTD, Betzter, KingdomCasino and related offshore casino infrastructure, the FinTelegram platform has been hit by sustained email bombing and significant DDoS attacks. The attacks have temporarily affected access to the website. FinTelegram continues its reporting and will not be intimidated.

Betzter.com, publicly operated by Cyprus-registered SOFTON LTD, may be more than an offshore casino operating outside EU gambling licences. Technical evidence reviewed by FinTelegram suggests a player-telemetry stack involving FullStory, Sentry Replay and Pusher private account-event channels — potentially linking player identity, session replay, account state and behavioural data outside the EU’s licensed gambling and self-exclusion perimeter.

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 Malina Casino review exposes a geo-domain payment-rail layer targeting EU players through jurisdiction-specific deposit routes. Austrian and Italian test flows revealed Revolut Open Banking, Perspecteev SAS, RAPID, Finmesh, Skrill, MiFinity, ChainValley-style fake-FIAT crypto conversion, Zentoria, and the newly surfaced mixfind.com payee. The evidence points to a classic offshore casino rail model: the casino brand stays in the front window, while rotating payment facilitators, payees, gateways and open-banking actors move the money underneath.

FinTelegram’s latest Revolut Rail Atlas review of 1Go Casino shows how a player-facing offshore casino cashier can route deposits through a multi-layered payment stack before reaching a regulated open-banking interface. In the tested Revolut flow, the user journey moved from 1Go Casino through BillBlend, SegoPay, Tryzto, InstantBankPayment, Yapily Connect UAB, and finally oba.revolut.com, where the user was asked to authorise Yapily Connect UAB.

A FinTelegram whistleblower submission shows Mega.bet using a Klyme-branded pay-by-bank rail with Immix Solutions Ltd as payee, alongside repeated deposits to a Lithuanian account. The case raises fresh questions about Yapily-linked open-banking rails, offshore-gambling merchant controls, and complaints handling.

Volt, a KNF-licensed open-banking provider backed by top-tier investors appears in recorded deposit flows for illegal offshore casinos targeting users in Germany. FinTelegram’s review shows Volt’s checkout embedded in payment journeys routed through crypto-linked intermediaries, raising hard questions about merchant due diligence, payment blocking under German gambling law, and the compliance perimeter for regulated PISPs.

A player communication reviewed by FinTelegram raises a serious compliance question for Revolut: did the fintech initially tell a customer that Mastercard chargebacks had been raised and finally decided, only to later admit that no chargebacks had been submitted at all? Against the backdrop of FinTelegram’s long-running investigations into illegal offshore casino payment rails, the case sharpens a broader issue.

While European gambling regulators intensify their crackdown on illegal offshore casinos, a more uncomfortable question is emerging for the banking sector: are major retail banks, through rigid chargeback practices and weak scrutiny of miscoded card transactions, helping illegal gambling networks stay operational?

FinTelegram will increasingly focus on DeFi brokers and DeFi investment schemes alongside offshore casinos. The reason is simple: the perimeter game has not disappeared. It has evolved. What binary options and offshore brokers once did through shell structures and payment agents is now being rebuilt through DeFi-branded interfaces, on/off-ramp layers, wallet logic, and outsourced execution rails.

FinTelegram’s review of the offshore casino Rooli (rooli.com), operated by Curaçao-based Dama N.V., shows a recurring Open Banking pattern: the player’s bank transfer is made to “Chain Valley” as the recipient. In multiple flows, the deposit confirmation screen identifies Chain Valley as payee while the payer is a retail bank (e.g., Revolut, ING). That is not a neutral technicality—it is a compliance chokepoint.

FinTelegram has published an enhanced 28‑page Compliance Report on the open banking infrastructure provider Yapily operated by Yapily Connect Ltd (UK) and Yapily Connect UAB (Lithuania), analysing the company’s high‑profile partnership with Google and its problematic role as open‑banking infrastructure for illegal offshore casinos. The report is now available for professional download and will be updated quarterly.​
