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.

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 Rail Atlas analysis have repeatedly observed Revolut’s Open Banking endpoint inside layered offshore casino payment flows. The pattern appears to combine anonymous gateways, open-banking intermediaries, and Revolut’s own customer-side payment infrastructure. This does not prove knowing facilitation by Revolut — but it raises serious questions about monitoring and merchant transparency,

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.

PlatinCasino is an offshore casino without regulatory permission in the UK or the EU. Its cashier labels a deposit option “Sofort,” but our testing indicates a very different mechanism: an open-banking style bank-selection and authorization flow via secure.bankgate.io, leading into a user’s bank (e.g., Revolut) to approve a third party.

Our PlatinCasino review indicates that the casino’s “Sofort” deposit option is not Klarna’s Sofort in the traditional sense, but a bank-to-bank open-banking rail that runs through secure.bankgate.io, a gateway branded to SALTEDGE (Salt Edge Limited). The flow redirects users into Revolut’s Open Banking authorization.

FinTelegram’s deposit-flow tests at PlatinCasino (platincasino.com) show a deliberately confusing payments stack: “bank transfers” that actually buy stablecoins and push them to wallets, plus “Sofort”/open-banking flows that route users through EU-regulated fintech rails. The result: an offshore casino can collect player funds across Europe while keeping onboarding friction—and KYC prompts—remarkably low.
