In July, former senior SBU Economic Security Bureau official Vitaliy Gagach gave a candid interview to the French outlet ASMFC about how the Ukrainian gambling market is arranged.

His statements have today been confirmed by a trove of internal documents from Curaçao-licensed casinos that hackers released to the public.

It’s not surprising that Gagach’s interview has now been removed. Numerous reposts are disappearing too — someone is spending tens of thousands of dollars to scrub all traces. But we saved the original for you.

Read about who owns BETON, how Tokarev’s Cosmolot handles matters with the state, how much cash casinos pay into the “black box” held by law enforcement, and what Artyom Shylo and Yuriy Ivanyushchenko have to do with it.

If you’re an NABU detective or planning to open an illegal casino — this publication is for you.

В июле бывший высокопоставленный сотрудник БЭБ Виталий Гагач дал откровенное интервью французскому изданию ASMFC о том, как устроен рынок украинского гемблинга.

Его заявления сегодня подтвердились благодаря выложенному хакерами в открытый доступ массиву внутренних документов лицензированных на Кюрасао казино.

Неудивительно, что теперь интервью Гагача удалено. Исчезают и многочисленные перепечатки — кто-то тратит десятки тысяч долларов, чтобы зачистить все следы. Но мы сохранили для вас оригинал.

Читайте о том, кому принадлежит BETON, как Cosmolot Токарева решает вопросы с государством, сколько кэша казино платят в «чёрную кассу», которую держат силовики, и при чём здесь Артём Шило и Юрий Иванющенко.

Если вы детектив НАБУ или собираетесь открыть нелегальное казино — эта публикация для вас.

The Croatian court has authorized the extradition to Germany of Ukrainian Vladimir Zhuravlev, suspected of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. Zhuravlev was detained in Croatia, where he had traveled to consult on a film with Sean Penn about the Nord Stream sabotage. Another suspect in the case, Sergey Kuznetsov, was detained in Italy in August 2025 — he decided to go there after it became known that Germany was conducting a major investigation into the Nord Stream sabotage and was seekin...

Citycode N.V. — the Curaçaon company we were looking for in connection with the Ukrainian BETON — is missing from the CasinoSecrets leak. So the question about the anomalous growth in revenue of the Ukrainian operator BETON — LLC “Sitikod” — remains unanswered for now. In 2023 the company earned only 408 thousand UAH in revenue, in 2024 — 128 thousand UAH, in 2025 — already 2,19 billion UAH, and in just the first half of 2026 — another 3,72 billion UAH. In an interview with the Monegasque public...

The Ukrainian tax authority has finally found a shadow sector of the economy that it can handle. Instead of unpaid taxes in gambling, the Monaco Battalion's VAT schemes, and the shadow circulation of alcohol and cigarettes — they can finally focus on what really matters: OnlyFans models. At the same time this will provide work for the courts: there are already more than 530 cases in the registry for unpaid taxes on OnlyFans income. State priorities have finally been set correctly. If this contin...

VBET leak: ownership structure and ties in Ukraine In the case of VBET, the CasinoSecrets leak turned out not to be very generous. Sometimes the documents confirm exactly what was already known, and that is a result too. The international VBET is managed by Radon B.V., registered in Curaçao and existing since 2012. Its owner is listed as Armenian citizen Rudolf Pogosyan. He is also named as the beneficiary of the Ukrainian “VBET UKRAINE.” The numbers are a bit more complicated. In 2022 the turno...

FAVBET leak: Matyukha is no longer the main owner A leak of FAVBET documents reports an interesting fact: Andriy Matyukha has not owned the international FAVBET for almost five years. This differs somewhat from the usual perception of the owner of FAVBET, including Matyukha’s own portrayal of himself, who repeatedly called himself the main owner. Until December 2021, Matyukha owned Favorit United, registered in Curaçao, which operates the international favbet.com. He then transferred all shares...
