FinTelegram has received a detailed whistleblower submission and Cyprus corporate filings concerning Stardust Global CCS Ltd, BRB24 TECH N.V., and alleged STAKES.com payment flows. We are now calling on insiders, payment professionals, service providers, and affected players to submit evidence.

FinTelegram has received a new player complaint pointing to a suspected Open-Banking casino funding rail involving Yapily Connect UAB, Pellopay Finance LTD, UAB Travel Union, Paysolo/Contiant, and the offshore casino brand Immerion. The case shows a familiar pattern: regulated payment infrastructure appears to have been used to fund offshore casino accounts while the visible SEPA payee was not the casino, but a payment intermediary.

FinTelegram’s Rail Atlas reviews show that offshore casino deposits increasingly route through open-banking and Pay-by-Bank rails where payment processors — not casino operators — appear as payees. This weakens transparency, chargeback options, and player refund claims under recent CJEU gambling case law.

Capitolio demanded removal of FinTelegram’s 1Go Casino payment-rail report but did not refute the core finding that CAPITOLIO INC. appeared as payee. Instead, it confirmed that this is standard architecture for its Open Banking on-ramp infrastructure — precisely the compliance issue FinTelegram’s Rail Atlas is documenting.

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.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has opened Competition Act 1998 investigations into PayPal, Mastercard and Visa over suspected anti-competitive conduct linked to the funding and usage of PayPal’s digital wallet. This is not an AML case, not a consumer-fraud case, and not yet a finding of wrongdoing. It is something potentially more structural.

FinTelegram’s Rail Atlas review of 1Go Casino identified CAPITOLIO INC. as the visible payee in a Revolut/Yapily open-banking casino deposit flow. Capitolio presents itself as a Canadian MSB offering open-banking, fiat-to-crypto, payout, and gaming/digital-economy infrastructure — raising urgent questions about its role as a collection entity for offshore casino payments.

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.

FinTelegram’s ongoing Rail Atlas investigation has identified a recurring pattern behind offshore casino payments targeting EU users: anonymous gateway layers route transactions into regulated Open Banking providers—including Yapily, Perspecteev (SaltEdge ecosystem), and now Powens—before reaching bank endpoints such as Revolut.

FinTelegram’s Revolut Rail Atlas has identified another regulated Open Banking enabler inside an offshore casino cashier: Powens, a French ACPR-regulated payment institution. In a test of Luckzie Casino, Revolut appeared as a prominent payment option alongside cards and crypto. The observed flow moved from Luckzie to supergateway.net, then to PayOp, then to Powens, and finally to Revolut’s Open Banking API at oba.revolut.com.

FinTelegram’s Rail Atlas investigation into casino payment flows has taken a new turn. What began with alleged threats against a player has evolved into a pattern: intimidation, followed by silence, and accompanied by public mockery. With no response to formal inquiries but sarcastic engagement on LinkedIn, Impaya’s handling of the situation raises serious questions about compliance culture, accountability, and its role in high-risk payment infrastructures.

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.
