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.
