WARNING InstantCasino suspected of money laundering and criminal activity

[maxd]

We’ve had a few complaints against InstantCasino.com in recent months and the casino never bothered to respond to any of them. No biggie, we get around to flagging these things as time permits, but recently the situation appears to have deteriorated rapidly:

“... Revolut froze my bank account and Crypto assets citing 'suspected money laundering and criminal activity flags'. This was because, on closer inspection of the payments, funds had been taken by 6 different companies - 3 Nigerian companies and 3 different cryptocurrency companies. The flag had been raised on the Nigerian companies Wailah Enterprises and Bamimahas Enterprises. After researching I found both of these companies allegedly sold books and education courses...so clearly not gambling! Regardless - both companies were on a ban list shared between Revolut/Mastercard and Europol"

Needless to say that is not the kind of thing any player wants to be forced to deal with, not the least of which because of some dodgy casino.

WARNING: InstantCasino.com is being investigated for some very unsavory activity and players are being caught in the net. Players are advised to steer clear of the casino, full stop.

Just to add - they are directed by Bad Hombre Gaming in the background who seem to run the operational side of the site. Bad Hombre Gaming are based in Malta and have even had stands at ICE no less fairly recently. Part of the EOD SRL companies and have changed their licence 3 times since this issue came to light- Curacao initially, Costa Rica and now Anjouan.

The casino have failed to reply once since October - they have also ignored requests from legal sources including SAR requests. They will say it is not them but their 3rd party processors who have caused this but 3 of the 6 companies have now been struck off and the 3 others are literally only able to deal with residents of Sweden and Poland. What a mess. Stay well away from this place and don't deposit on any offshore sites with card would be my overwhelming advice after this. Have a fair whack of assets still frozen pending an ongoing investigation. Revolut have also been a disgrace in all of this and also have an ongoing FOS case against them.

No surprise that others are having major issues with this site.

I can't believe they're literally Bad Hombres. Kind of incredible really: "lol let's make a scam company called Evil People!"

Update here - still no response from the casino, merchants used to take payments or this Bad Hombre firm. Attended an interview on Friday with police and they have passed all the case details to Europol including all the evidence I had - Revolut had already sent the background details to them. Mastercard updated that they are chasing the acquiring banks. I'll be compensated eventually for this but by god this was one bad decision to go near this company. 9 months of nothing other than me spending hours contacting banks, lawyers, authorities and attempting to contact the casino/providers etc. What a bloody mess - I pray that nobody else gets caught up in this and steers well clear. "Official Partners of Juventus" allegedly...the most corrupt Italian football team in history...so it's a marriage made in heaven.
