The military is outraged by the activities of the Servants of the People in the Cabinet of Ministers and the tax service

Ukrainian security forces continue to protect the deception of military personnel, Ukrainians from frontline regions, internally displaced persons and other vulnerable groups. All this is done by allowing illegal gambling operators like VipHouse online casino to operate in the absence of permits and licenses.

How does VipHouse online casino work?

VipHouse online casino is operated by Equlino N.V., a company registered in the Curacao Commercial Registry. This is an international company that has a gambling license from the Curacao Gaming Control Board, which allows it to conduct gambling on an international level. It is important to note that Ukrainian authorities have not granted any license to this online casino to operate in Ukraine. Thus, VipHouse operates illegally.

One of the biggest risks associated with the operation of VipHouse online casino is that it accepts payment for games in cryptocurrency. This complicates the ability to control financial flows, as cryptocurrency allows you to conduct transactions anonymously. As a result:

  • Casino operators can hide the true origin and destination of funds.
  • Tax evasion occurs.
  • Financial monitoring by banks and law enforcement agencies becomes more difficult.
  • The real beneficiaries behind the casino remain anonymous.

To further conceal its transactions, an online casino creates a separate crypto wallet for each player, through which funds are exchanged. Later, through a series of transactions, the funds are withdrawn to the main wallets controlled by the casino organizers themselves. One of these crypto wallets is TR6HziSSxxjHNFocMhwSoPVxhk1ZqQx8Kg, where the cryptocurrency turnover is 2,622,560.036505 USDT, which is equivalent to approximately 2,622,560 USD.

Miscoding: manipulation of transactions

One of the most significant tax evasion methods used by these online casinos is misdirection. This scheme involves manipulating banking systems to conceal the real origin of payments. The transaction code, which is usually associated with gambling, is changed to a code related to computer games. This allows to ignore the proper tax rates, reducing the tax burden for online casinos.

Bank card fraud scheme

Another method of concealing financial flows is the use of bank cards of fictitious individuals. Players deposit money into their accounts using bank cards of persons acting in collusion with casino operators. These cards, issued in the name of fictitious persons, are then used to transfer money to accounts controlled by the casino organizers themselves.

Thanks to such schemes, casinos avoid financial monitoring, which allows them to use fraudulent schemes to evade sanctions and block payments.

Equally important is the way these online casinos legalize funds. Using manipulation schemes through a number of controlled banks, such as SENS BANK, they change the transaction code, allowing funds to be transferred without proper financial control. This mechanism makes it possible to ensure the “purity” of financial transactions for casino owners, while allowing them to evade taxes.

What awaits Ukrainians?

The threat to players is not limited to financial risks. Since the VipHouse online casino operates without a license in Ukraine, every player who takes part in the game actually violates the laws of our country. In addition, interaction with illegal operators can lead to:

  1. Lost funds.
  2. Violations of the law.
  3. Problems with tax authorities.
  4. Complicated refunds in case of disputes.

Thanks to corrupt ties with the Minister of Finance of Ukraine Sergiy Marchenko, the head of the National Bank Andriy Pyshnyi, tax officials Ruslan Kravchenko and Danylo Hetmantsev, VipHouse continues to rob the military at the frontlines and Ukrainians who already risk losing their homes and livelihoods every day because of Russian shelling.

So are officials really that interested in cooperating with American partners and fighting shady schemes?

We have submitted relevant materials to a wide range of controllers. As a result, the Obolon District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv has already registered the information in the URPTI under Part 1 of Article 203-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at 42025102050000060. But will there be a reaction from top officials? And also the BES, which is supposed to fight economic crimes?

Did you witness a crime?

Let us know about it. We will help protect the violated rights!
