Citizen of Russia, owner of the gambling holding Ritzio International Group (brand "Vulkan"), investment holding Finstar, and perfume chain "Rive Gauche" across Russia and the CIS. Until 2022, controlled the private lottery "Patriot" in Ukraine — Boyko's companies were sanctioned by the National Security and Defense Council due to financing the Russian army since the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
EvoPlay Krippa as a proxy for Vulkan, sanctioned status, and the KRAIL "Enigma"
OSINT investigators blackboxosint established that the IT company EvoPlay, connected to Ukrainian businessman Maksym Krippa, has an exclusive agreement with Ritzio International for representing the "Vulkan" brand in the online segment; EvoPlay develops software for casinos, and Boyko receives a percentage of every dollar lost by players — this scheme has operated for years despite SBU raids and criminal cases. In January 2025, the State Bureau of Investigation detained a KRAIL member on suspicion of aiding the aggressor state: during the investigation, the State Financial Monitoring Service documented ties between casinos and representatives of Russia, Russian capital, and sanctioned entities — the casino operated "under the cover of subject to the Bureau of Economic Security." Boyko himself remains in Russia; personal sanctions have been imposed in Ukraine.
