Santeda’s gray-market casino network lost some suppliers after a brief outage on 14–15 June

One of the larger illegal gambling networks operating in Europe and Britain had a short outage in the night of 14–15 June, with sites including MyStake, Goldenbet, Donbet, Velobet, Cosmobet, Freshbet, Jack(.)com, Betride, Zizobet, Rolletto, Locusbet and Casinok briefly going offline. The disruption was not a regulator block or scheduled maintenance; it came after the network cut ties with major slot suppliers, which also explains why some sites came back up without slots.

  1. The outage hit multiple Santeda-linked domains at once: MyStake, Goldenbet, Donbet, Velobet, Cosmobet, Freshbet, Jack(.)com, Betride, Zizobet, Rolletto, Locusbet and Casinok all stopped working for a short time during the night of 14–15 June.
  2. The source says the problem was not enforcement action from regulators and not technical maintenance. Instead, the network lost access to a group of major slot providers, and the sites that remained live were operating without slots.
  3. The CEO of GAMRS, which researches the black market, said the group’s efforts were behind the disruption. He said: “We continue to work to prevent service providers from being provided through their websites. Over the past few weeks we have made huge progress and will continue in the same vein.”
  4. The network has since restored operations, but without a number of suppliers. Even so, several well-known B2B providers licensed by the UKGC still appear to be working on the sites.

For PSPs, acquiring teams, and game suppliers, the detail that matters is not the outage itself but the mechanism: supplier cutoff can degrade a gray-market casino network without a formal block. If you are deciding whether to keep serving a vertical, this is the sort of pressure that can change the commercial shape of a portfolio fast.
