Piastrix to shut down completely on 30 July 2026, with wallet top-ups ending on 15 July

The payment service Piastrix says it is ceasing operations altogether. For high-risk merchants, the useful part is not the drama around it, but the operational detail: deposits into the wallet stop on 15 July 2026, and the account access goes dark on 30 July 2026.

1. Piastrix said wallet top-ups will be closed on 15 July 2026. After that date, users will no longer be able to add funds or receive transfers from partners.
2. The wallet itself will be shut down permanently on 30 July 2026, and personal account access will be blocked. In other words: this is not a maintenance window, it is the end of the line.
3. The service was used as a deposit method in offshore casinos and betting brands, and was popular with players in Russia and Europe. It was also available in Russia, where advertising for Piastrix reportedly appeared openly on the website of Gazprombank Finance.
4. Users had recently been complaining about withdrawal difficulties. Piastrix also appeared in a dispute involving Vodka Bet: a user won 9.9 million, the casino initially approved the payout, then requested a recall, after which Piastrix returned the money and blocked the user.
5. The corporate structure changed repeatedly. According to the source, Piastrix first operated through the Georgian company Fingate LLC, registered in 2016 by Ukrainian citizen Konstantin Buryachenko, who filed for liquidation in 2023. It later used the Polish company Libellium Sp. z o.o., listed with nominee director and founder Anastasia Kondya, a Ukrainian citizen living in Poland.

The source also says Buryachenko registered KVB Solutions s.r.o. in the Czech Republic in 2017 and became head of the Czech BLACKSHIRE UNITED L.P., described as a subsidiary of the Scottish BLACKSHIRE UNITED L.P. Piastrix was also connected to Pin-Up Punin, where users could top up accounts from Piastrix wallets and withdraw back to them.
