FinTelegram’s Rail Atlas review of 1Go Casino identified CAPITOLIO INC. as the visible payee in a Revolut/Yapily open-banking casino deposit flow. Capitolio presents itself as a Canadian MSB offering open-banking, fiat-to-crypto, payout, and gaming/digital-economy infrastructure — raising urgent questions about its role as a collection entity for offshore casino payments.

FinTelegram has reviewed a whistleblower report indicating that Germany’s financial watchdog BaFin has registered a case concerning Yapily Connect UAB, the Lithuanian licensed arm of the UK open-banking group Yapily. The allegations are explosive: regulated Pay by Bank infrastructure was allegedly used to process deposits for offshore casino brands targeting German players.

New whistleblower evidence reviewed by FinTelegram appears to show a Dutch-facing casino deposit flow moving from Kingdomcasino into openbanking.paysolo.net, where users are offered banks including Revolut, Rabobank, N26, SNS Bank and Wise. The payment page itself states that the user agrees to allow “Pellopay Finance LTD partners Yapily Connect” to initiate the payment. The evidence strengthens FinTelegram’s working hypothesis that anonymous gateways, open-banking providers, fiat/crypto bridge operators and Revolut’s Open Banking API may form a layered casino-payment corridor.

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 FinTelegram whistleblower submission shows Mega.bet using a Klyme-branded pay-by-bank rail with Immix Solutions Ltd as payee, alongside repeated deposits to a Lithuanian account. The case raises fresh questions about Yapily-linked open-banking rails, offshore-gambling merchant controls, and complaints handling.

Norway’s strict payment ban on unlicensed gambling is being quietly undermined by a new, layered payments stack. Using Revolut as an “entry wallet” and Payoro as a withdrawal hub, offshore casinos and their affiliates appear to have created a de facto alternative banking route for Norwegian players—far from the reach of domestic banks and regulators.

While Revolut proudly celebrates its new status as a licensed UK bank, FinTelegram’s compliance review reveals extensive, ongoing involvement in processing payments for unregulated DeFi brokers and offshore casinos, raising serious AML concerns.

Despite aggressive expansion into strictly regulated European and UK markets, LuckyWins operates entirely without legal authorization, hiding behind a Costa Rican shell. Our latest deposit tests reveal a highly sophisticated payment architecture where Tier-1 European financial institutions—including PPRO, Yapily, and MiFinity—are being weaponized to process illegal gambling funds via open banking exploits and "fake FIAT" crypto on-ramps.

A Dutch player alleges deposits to an unlicensed casino (WinHero) were processed via Yapily’s Lithuanian payment-initiation entity and a third-party (Klyme). A leaked compliance email suggests Yapily pushed Klyme to blacklist the complaining user while requesting KYB/KYC details—raising hard questions about open-banking merchant controls, geo-fencing, and complaints handling.

The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has imposed a €4,228,000 administrative fine on Starscream Limited for offering illegal online gambling to Dutch players via Rantcasino, AllstarzCasino, and SugarCasino. The case underlines what FinTelegram has been documenting for months: these are not “minor violations,” but systematic breaches—and the payment stack enabling them is part of the risk surface.

FinTelegram has published an enhanced 28‑page Compliance Report on the open banking infrastructure provider Yapily operated by Yapily Connect Ltd (UK) and Yapily Connect UAB (Lithuania), analysing the company’s high‑profile partnership with Google and its problematic role as open‑banking infrastructure for illegal offshore casinos. The report is now available for professional download and will be updated quarterly.​

A sophisticated money laundering network has been identified that systematically rotates disposable Cypriot payment processing entities to facilitate illegal online casinos targeting Dutch and German consumers. The operation employs a distinctive "Colors & Animals" naming convention for its payment shells, which are cycled through when individual entities face regulatory sanctions.
