The Santeda gaming network has lost some of its suppliers and is experiencing website outages
Santeda, one of the largest illegal gambling networks, has lost some of its providers and is facing widespread disruptions to its platforms.
On the night of June 14–15, a number of sites in the network, including MyStake, Goldenbet, Donbet, Velobet, Cosmobet, Freshbet, Jack.com, Betride, Zizobet, Rolletto, Locusbet, and Casinok, temporarily ceased operations or operated with limited functionality.
According to industry sources, the cause of the disruptions was not a block by regulators or maintenance, but the termination of contracts with major slot game providers. As a result, some of the sites continued to operate without key gaming content.
The CEO of GAMRS, a research organization that monitors the black market for gambling, stated that the incident was the result of targeted efforts against illegal platforms.
"We are continuing our efforts to prevent providers from offering services through their websites. We have made significant progress in recent weeks and plan to continue in the same direction," he noted.
Currently, the Santeda network has partially resumed operations, though without a number of slot providers. At the same time, according to market observers, certain well-known B2B providers licensed by the UKGC continue to collaborate with some sites in the network.
As a reminder, Steam is giving away three highly rated games.
