The Maltese IGA Group — marketed as an "award-winning iGaming service provider" — is a central node in a global network enabling offshore gambling operations, including the controversial BC.GAME platform. Founded in 2017 by Mario Fiorini, the IGA Group provides licensing, compliance, and trust services to online casinos, leveraging its connections to politically exposed persons (PEPs) and lax regulatory jurisdictions.

A few months ago, FinTelegram released a first forensic report on the bankruptcy of Rabidi N.V., a Curacao-registered online casino operator with hundreds of millions in revenues — and no traceable assets by the time of its collapse in May 2024. That report already raised serious questions about the opaque structures behind Rabidi’s operations and its successor, Liernin Enterprises Ltd.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has continued its crackdown on illegal online gambling websites, focusing on operators violating the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. This report analyzes the regulator's recent actions in the context of known illegal casino schemes, particularly those associated with Dama N.V. and Softswiss.

Illegal gambling and money laundering are not just crimes—they are betrayals of trust, exploiting vulnerable individuals and undermining the integrity of our financial systems. FinTelegram has been at the forefront of exposing these corrupt activities, but we need your help to bring the full extent of these schemes to light.

BC.Game, a crypto casino operator with a history of insolvency and regulatory violations, has been transferred to offshore ownership under Twocent Technology Limited, raising serious red flags. FinTelegram warns all players to avoid this platform and its associated sites, as they operate without legitimate oversight and are banned in multiple jurisdictions.

Curaçao’s recent approval of the National Ordinance on Gambling (LOK) is sparking outrage and fear, with critics dubbing it a “money laundering law.” Financial expert and whistleblower Luigi Faneyte warns that the new regulation could turn Curaçao into a haven for organized crime while undermining the Kingdom of the Netherlands’ international reputation.

The scandals surrounding the collapsed crypto gambling platforms BC.Game and Rabidi deepen. With its bankruptcies in Curacao, allegations of illegal license transfers and questionable offshore operations have emerged. Investigations now target the involvement of high-profile figures such as former Maltese Gaming Authority (MGA) chairman Mario Galea and the Maltese IGA Group.

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. With ties to Maltese investors and global financial networks, the report demands transparency but also carries political implications.

The insolvency of Curacao-based Blockdance BV, the former operator of BC.Game, and the subsequent asset transfer to Small House BV has created a complex legal and financial situation with significant implications for the online gambling industry. This is already the second case after Rabidi N.V., where the assets were also transferred and disappeared shortly before the bankruptcy.

The Russian entrepreneurs Roland Isaev and Paata Gamgoneishvili have secretly emerged as major players in the online gambling and crypto payment processing sectors, with their influence extending through complex business structures in various jurisdictions. FinTelegram's ongoing investigations reveal their involvement with key entities, such as the SoftSwiss and Merkeleon groups, which they appear to control through ownership stakes and strategic acquisitions.
