In recent investigations, FinTelegram has uncovered NovaForge Ltd as a significant operator in a globally active network of illegal online casinos. Operating anonymously through multiple brands and domains, this network defies regulatory frameworks in Europe, North America, and Asia, continuing the legacy of the defunct Rabidi Group.
The case of the Rabidi Group is a prime example of the opacity of the online casino sector. Rabidi, once a significant player in the online gambling industry with a Curacao license, has recently come under scrutiny after the group's sudden disappearance following its bankruptcy in June 2023. Following FinTelegram reports, Denys Butko, the alleged beneficial owner recently deleted his LinkedIn profile.
Zet Casino is one of the former brands of the bankrupt operator Rabidi N.V. It's currently operated by Liernin Enterprises Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands, and the payment agent Mirata Services Ltd, registered in Cyprus. Zet Casino has an offshore license in the Philippines, which is not accepted in the EEA regions. Nevertheless, players from the EEA regions and the UK are accepted without any problems and can make deposits. Here is our review.
FinTelegram continue to pursue the individuals and entities behind the insolvent online casino operator Rabidi. The bankruptcy of Rabidi was precipitated by a player who filed a petition after not receiving his winnings, leading to the revocation of their license by the Curaçao Gaming Authority. Despite the insolvency, the casinos have persisted, now operating anonymously and illegally, with all traces leading to Cyprus and the ButOn ecosystem.
