Royal-Finance accused of scamming several casinos, with reported losses of ₽40-50 million

According to Affgambler, the payment provider Royal-Finance allegedly hit several casinos by deleting chats and blocking access to personal accounts. For high-risk operators, the practical point is simple: once a PSP controls the main support and dashboard channels, access can disappear before anyone gets a clean dispute trail.

1. Affgambler says Royal-Finance “scammed” several casinos, using the phrase to describe a pattern that included deleting chats and cutting off access to customer accounts.
2. The reported total damage is ₽40-50 million. No further breakdown was provided in the source.
3. The allegation is directed at a payments provider serving casino operators, which makes the operational risk easy to see: if the provider controls both communications and back-office access, merchants can lose the ability to document disputes or even see what is happening in real time.
