About EvoPlay

"Vulkan" Casino, Oligarch Boyko, and Financing of Russian Aggression

EvoPlay is a Kyiv-based IT company whose actual owner the SBU investigation names as Maksym Krippa. In 2015, law enforcement conducted a search at EvoPlay's office at Naberezhno-Pecherska 1 — seizing servers, equipment, slot machines, and accounting documents with dozens of stamps from various firms. The basis was suspicion of working for Russian oligarch Oleg Boyko, owner of the "Vulkan" brand. EvoPlay signed an exclusive agreement with Boyko's sanctioned Ritzio International to represent the "Vulkan" brand online — meaning it developed software for the casino, part of whose profits went directly to Boyko, who financed the Russian army through his lotteries since 2014.

Criminal Proceedings for Terrorism Financing and Non-public Owner

In 2016, the SBU opened criminal proceeding No. 22015000000000379 against Krippa and his partner Polyakov under Part 1 of Article 203-2 (illegal gambling activities) and Part 2 of Article 258-5 (terrorism financing). The investigation established that they created a network of online casino websites under the "Vulkan" brand. EvoPlay never obtained a license from the Ukrainian regulator after gambling legalization in 2020. Krippa publicly denied any connection to EvoPlay, GGBet, and "Vulkan," but according to Blackbox Osint data, in the GetContact service he is listed as "Krippa Maksym Volodymyrovych Evoplay," and trademark registrations for EvoPlay and GGBet were made by the same person.
