Azerbaijan authorities shut down an online casino network with turnover above 5 million manats and detained six people

Azerbaijan’s law enforcement agencies have dismantled an online casino network with turnover above 5 million manats and detained six people allegedly involved. For high-risk payment providers, the important part is simple: when a gambling operation gets hit at this scale, the payments trail is usually the part investigators follow first.

1. Authorities in Azerbaijan said they had taken down an online casino network operating with turnover of more than 5 million manats.
2. Six people were detained in connection with the case.
3. The source does not name the operators, payment providers, banks, or jurisdictions involved beyond Azerbaijan, so there is no public breakdown here of which PSPs, merchant accounts, or acquiring routes were used.
