сергей токарев, рустам гильфанов и lucky labs: что скрывается за внешним благополучием

выяснилось, что это была не просто it-компания, а целый концерн, занимающийся производством программного обеспечения для онлайн-казино и различных слотов. но творчества здесь было мало: компания просто копировала сотни известных мировых игр (таких как book of ra, lucky lady’s charm, dolphin’s pearl, ironman, hulk, gonzo’s quest, starburst от novomatic, playtech, netent и т. д.). у некоторых вызывает сомнение факт, что особенный подъем globo-tech приходится на период запрета гемблинга и любых коммерческих азартных игр на территории россии, то есть на 2007 год.

позднее эта программа снова сменила название, отныне став lucky partners, а на рынке появились новинки, вроде pokerdom, 24 vulkan, azart club, super slots. эти ресурсы существуют и сейчас, все так же нелегально используя по без лицензии.

with tougher conditions in russia, entrepreneurs moved their dark business to kiev, creating the lucky labs company. however, from the first weeks of operation, the company began to attract too much attention, including from the ukrainian security service. tokarev and gilfanov distinguished themselves by being included in the list of persons subject to the sanctions of the president of ukraine. the russians were also accused of providing financial support to the dpr and lpr.

lucky partners story

luckypartners - affiliate program - is associated with dozens of brands in the online casino industry. all these resources are supplied with illegal software provided by the globo-tech company, and the money went into the shadow pockets of sergey tokarev and rustam gilfanov.

it should be said that the number of brands has decreased: some have been removed (bestforplay, geiminator-slots, slotobar, jackpot), and some have been reorganized (pokerdom).

brands in the luckypartners program:

volcano is a well-known brand, and we see as many as four examples under the name of this brand here, not counting the legend of online business - all-in. also the copied software involved curious math: the percentage of money returned to players was lower than that of licensed games. 93.25% versus the usual 96-99%. this reveals the luckypartners' business strategy, a strategy that is far from clean.

in 2007, stationary casinos, like any form of online gambling business, were banned in russia. roskomnadzor carefully monitors the implementation of these regulations. but the resourceful “entrepreneurs” sergei tokarev and rustam gilfanov from lucky labs still found a loophole: the company's websites are always different, and the webmasters are equipped with a code that selects the “mirror”. changed domain from luckypartners.com to luckypartners.biz and the affiliate program itself.

today the affiliate program includes:
- vulkan deluxe vlknslots.com
- vulkan casino (aka velkam) https://7ve.lkam.co
- superslots sslcasino.co
- va-bank https : //vabankclub.email/
- volcano club
- vulkan24 24vul-slot.org

what is playtech?

in 2017, playtech - a company specializing in the production of games and software for online casinos - will stop working with the whale of the world of marvel comics. the gap between the companies led to the disappearance of popular playtech games like hulk or ironman from the market.


 

but on the lucky partners sites, access to these games can still be obtained today. everything is explained simply: the games are not original, but copied.

with copied games

we've already found out that all luckypartners' resources are filled with fake game content. however, the algorithm of these programs, of course, does not like to share, preventing the player from receiving generous rewards for playing. licenses are also counterfeit. if the license is original, but its origin is explained by ties with companies with a specific offshore reputation: these are companies in malta or cyprus, for example.

volcano deluxe: as you can see, the operator is ggs net ltd .:



volcano deluxe

another name for the resource - bestvulkan. he is also part of the luckypartners program.

home page generously lets us admire copies of games: starburst, lucky lady's charm, etc.



also, games are loaded not from the manufacturers' servers (as would be the case with a license), but from the server directly globo-tech.

some sites (eg latestcasinobonuses.ru ) and forums warn that volcano deluxe uses unlicensed games.

superslots

a little about volcano 24

we have already said that many of lucky resources work under the volcano brand. this is one of them. in addition, on the 24 volcano website, you can see which of the manufacturers and which games were copied.

 

as an example - iron man 3 from playtech. it was already mentioned that after breaking off contacts with marvel, this game disappeared from the market, at least its original has certainly disappeared.

all-in

this is a true legend of the underground online business. all-in also offers a wide range of unlicensed games from the same netent, novomatic, playtech and others.

velkam volcano

also a casino under the lucky volcano brand.

poshfriends

leaving more and more public space, p. tokarev, r. the gilfans and their company lucky realized that their reputation had to be monitored. from now on, she created some resources that worked on legal software and tried not to mix her gray underground and new online casinos. but new projects continued to operate under the curacao license - firms with a not so clean reputation.

among the "clean" new products - casino-x and joycasino, which are already fed up with fans of pirate movies. even a separate partner program, called poshfriends, took care of these resources.

these sites were operated by the same cypriot companies, which could not but raise suspicion.

about the pokerdom perturbations

lucky labs is sponsored by another site - pokerdom. on the site it was possible to replace the fact that the resource was among the lucky partners programs. in addition, the management of the poker house was carried out by the already familiar darklace ltd.







affiliate software and foreign forums

all efforts to separate the old "shadow" sites from the newly created "clean" ones turned out to be in vain, since it is difficult to hide obvious things from foreign forums.

for example, here a ggs affiliates proxy advertises va-bank casino on the || | 365 latestcasinobonuses :

the site may not have suspected that it was contacting unscrupulous pirates. the same can be said for forums (for example, gpwa forum ).

connections and payment systems

lucky partners and poshfriends connect not only media resonances, but also payment systems. it is very difficult to accept payments on sites without a license, therefore the same company is engaged in this issue - pomadorro n.v., acting as the recipient of payments. the conclusion suggests itself: money from parallel companies goes into one pocket.

about playson

later, sergei tokarev and rustam gilfanov made a decision on the need to "whiten" the reputation and producer of game content. if the issue was more or less resolved with operational activities, then playson was created here - a resource, a new company that created casino games. but it is clear that the strategy was the same - in the best traditions of lucky labs.

about lucky labs itself

sbu visits and journalistic investigations still could not shake the activities of the kiev company lucky labs. well, we continue to wait for news.
