In recent weeks, we have reported about the illegal online casinos Atlantis Slots and PlayRegal recruiting players in EEA regulatory regimes without a license and accepting their deposits. One of the payment options is a bank transfer via Klarna's Sofort. With today's update, we have discovered that Sofort has been removed from PlayRegal and Atlantis Slots. However, Sofort is still available as a payment option for TTVGAMES.
As part of our ongoing "follow-the-money" investigations into the online casino and gambling industry, we have identified Intelli Global Ltd, a UK-registered company, as a significant player in this high-risk environment. This review will focus on Intelli Global Ltd and its gaming platform, TTVGAMES, and will delve into the involvement of fintech unicorn Klarna and its subsidiary Sofort in facilitating payments for unauthorized online gambling operations.
PlayRegal is a scheme mirroring the previously exposed and illegally operating online casino, Atlantis Slots. Both platforms utilize the same payment facilitators. Following our investigation, Atlantis Slots has removed references to its alleged operating company in Curacao and its Cypriot payment agent. Likewise, the PlayRegal website fails to provide information about the operators. Evidence suggests that both schemes are operated by the same individuals.
