Dmitriy Punin’s Pin-Up finds new ways around restrictions: Mir cards, VTB and Uzbek payment gateways

New schemes involving the operations of casinos belonging to Dmitriy Punin, Marina Ilyina, and their associate Riddik have been discovered online.

As it became known, these schemes continue to use Russian and Uzbek banks to process dubious payments. The Pin-Up casino operates through several different solutions:

1. TSP: Octobank—a card-to-card transfer through Best2Pay processing, available for cards of the "Mir" payment system. Funds are credited to an account at Sovcombank. This scheme was previously used in the 1xBet casino, and as it became known, VTB is behind it, rather than the NCO YuMoney, as previously assumed.

2. TSP: YPDotaprime.ru/pdotapri—uses ecom acquiring with a redirect through mplug.multicarta.ru processing (MCC 7994), funds are credited to VTB Bank (BIN: 422425).

   These schemes highlight the resilience of the underground industry, despite attempts by regulatory authorities to restrict the activities of such casinos.
