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 fresh cashier review of the SpinFin offshore casino (accessed via SpinFin5.com) shows a familiar pattern: “FIAT” deposit labels that actually route players into fiat-to-crypto purchases and onward transfers to operator wallets. Screenshots confirm multiple on-ramping layers — including **DAXCHAIN OÜ using Tink, Chain Valley Sp. z o.o. issuing “exchange orders” behind Skrill/Neteller/Rapid, and Bitcan sp. z o.o. converting deposits into USDC while the UI still reads like a bank payment flow.

The Canadian MSB CenturaPay (Canamoney Exchange Ltd) has been slapped with a Red Risk Signal on RatEx42. Investigations reveal its pivotal role as a high-risk payment agent, facilitating illegal offshore gambling deposits by piggybacking on the infrastructure of established processors like MiFinity. As regulators tighten the noose, the "Canadian Bridge" is beginning to buckle.

The Dutch 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 KSA explicitly frames enforcement as a “third-party” problem too—working with payment service providers, banks, hosting, and big tech—because unlicensed casinos don’t scale without rails.

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.

Recent whistleblower reports and online investigative publications in January 2026 allege that SoftSwiss, through its Malta-licensed entity Stable Aggregator Limited (MGA/B2B/942/2022), operates as an unlicensed payment hub and money laundering facilitator for affiliated casino operators targeting prohibited jurisdictions. The allegations assert that SoftSwiss processes payments from unlicensed merchants.

Following FinTelegram's December 2025 exposé on the Winning.io / Scatters Group network, a whistleblower has provided documentary evidence confirming that the economic ownership and control structure traces directly to Starkeast Management B.V., controlled by Menno Jordaan. The whistleblower states: "The owner of these sites (all of them) is now, starkeast service owned by menno jordaan. he is the director of starscream aswell." 

FinTelegram Intelligence has completed a comprehensive compliance review of the MiFinity Group, a multi-jurisdictional payment processor operating with regulatory licenses in the United Kingdom (FCA) and Malta (MFSA). The investigation reveals the MiFinity's massive involvement in illegal gambling and an opaque group structure.

The 2024 financial statements for MiFinity UK Limited reveal an explosion in growth, with net income rising by over 300% to £8.6 million and total assets reaching £76.96 million. This analysis hypothesizes that such abnormal gains are driven by the processor’s aggressive pivot toward facilitating payments for offshore and unlicensed casinos like Legiano and Winning.io.

Our review of offshore casino Legiano (legiano.com) shows a recurring “fake-fiat” deposit pattern: what is presented as a normal fiat top-up is, in reality, an embedded crypto purchase (USDC) that is automatically routed to the casino’s wallets via app.chainvalley.pro—with only minimal, pre-ticked disclosure.

We recently found an interesting review on LinkedIn about the apparently illegal online casino Betsolino, published by Digital Marketing Strategist Michael Schmitt. According to the review, Betsolino has been identified as an illegal operation. Therefore, we looked at Betsolino and its payment processors. We discovered red flags and issued an urgent warning.

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.
