FinTelegram reveals that Irish-registered Zentoria Limited is operating as a shadow payment processor for another NovaForge brand, Robycasino. Disguising transactions under the billing descriptor "Spinsopotamia.com Dublin," Zentoria is quietly facilitating offshore gambling while holding an official Irish Remote Bookmaker's Licence.

Following our recent exposure of the NovaForge Group and its blacklisted offshore casino Spinsy, whistleblowers have stepped forward with crucial new evidence. A player recently revealed that Irish-registered Zentoria Limited is operating as a shadow payment processor for another NovaForge brand, Robycasino. Disguising transactions under the billing descriptor “Spinsopotamia.com Dublin,” Zentoria is quietly facilitating offshore gambling while holding an official Irish Remote Bookmaker’s Licence. Here is our compliance analysis of the key actors, Mykhaylo Pavlenko and Alina Vavilova, and the operations behind Zentoria Limited.

In our ongoing effort to map the “Rail Atlas” of illegal offshore gambling, FinTelegram relies heavily on the vigilance of the player community. Recently, a victim of the NovaForge Group (operators of the ACMA-blocked Spinsy casino) reached out to share their credit card statements. The player reported that multiple deposits made to another NovaForge offshore brand, Robycasino.com, appeared on their bank statement as “Spinsopotamia.com Dublin.”

Our research directly links this billing descriptor to Zentoria Limited, an Irish corporate entity operating out of Dublin 4. This revelation exposes a sophisticated European payment rail acting as a critical financial artery for unregulated, offshore gambling operations.

Key Findings

The Robycasino Connection: Deposits intended for Robycasino, a brand operated by the offshore NovaForge Group, are being routed through European banking rails using the obscure billing descriptor “Spinsopotamia.com Dublin.”

Zentoria Limited Identified: Corporate and domain intelligence links the Spinsopotamia descriptor directly to Zentoria Limited, an Irish company incorporated in April 2024.

The Regulatory Contradiction: Despite facilitating payments for an unlicensed offshore casino network, Zentoria Limited officially holds an active Remote Bookmaker’s Licence from the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

The Key Actors: According to Irish corporate filings and Revenue.ie data, the individuals acting on behalf of and directing Zentoria Limited are Mykhaylo Pavlenko and Alina Vavilova.

Masking Transactions: By using a domain like “Spinsopotamia.com,” the operators are likely utilizing a practice known as “transaction laundering,” masking high-risk offshore casino deposits as benign digital purchases to bypass credit card blocking protocols.

Compliance Analysis: The Zentoria Payment Scheme

Zentoria Limited represents a classic “Trojan Horse” in the high-risk payment processing sector. By establishing a corporate footprint in a reputable EU jurisdiction (Ireland) and securing a legitimate Remote Bookmaker’s Licence, the operators, Mykhaylo Pavlenko and Alina Vavilova, gain unhindered access to top-tier European merchant accounts and acquiring banks.

However, the whistleblower evidence suggests this Irish entity is not conducting legitimate, local bookmaking. Instead, it is being utilized as a shell payment gateway for the NovaForge Group. When a player deposits money into Robycasino (which operates under a weak offshore license), the transaction is diverted to Zentoria’s Irish merchant account. To ensure the player’s bank or credit card issuer doesn’t flag the transaction as illegal offshore gambling, Zentoria applies the descriptor “Spinsopotamia.com.”

This setup presents a massive compliance breach. Irish regulatory frameworks require strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls and fitness/probity checks for all directors. The fact that an Irish-licensed entity is acting as a payment funnel for NovaForge—a group whose brands have been formally blacklisted by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)—should trigger immediate intervention by the Irish Department of Justice and the Revenue Commissioners.

The “Facade Casino” Strategy

Acquiring banks and credit card companies (like Visa and Mastercard) use automated systems to block transactions to blacklisted offshore casinos like Robycasino or Spinsy. To get around this, the NovaForge Group uses Zentoria Limited to set up a “clean” casino facade—in this case, Spinsopotamia.com.

Because Zentoria holds an official Irish Remote Bookmaker’s Licence, they can easily go to a European bank and say: “We are a fully licensed, regulated Irish betting company operating Spinsopotamia.com. Please give us a merchant account to process credit cards.”

The bank sees the Irish license, approves the merchant account, and gives them the ability to process payments under the billing descriptor “Spinsopotamia.com Dublin.”

How the Bait-and-Switch Works

Once that payment rail is established, the operators connect the backend of the illegal offshore casinos (Robycasino/Spinsy) to the legal Irish merchant account (Spinsopotamia).

1. An player logs into Robycasino and deposits $100.

2. The payment gateway silently routes that transaction to Zentoria’s merchant account in Dublin.

3. The player’s bank sees a charge from “Spinsopotamia.com Dublin” (an EU-licensed entity) instead of “Robycasino” (a blacklisted offshore entity).

4. The bank approves the transaction, completely unaware they just facilitated an illegal offshore deposit.

This makes Spinsopotamia the ultimate Trojan Horse. It exists as a real website primarily to serve as a legitimate front, providing “cover” for the massive volume of illicit transactions flowing to NovaForge’s blacklisted brands.
