The Fast Payment System (FPS), actively fighting for a share of the payment market, has found unprecedented popularity among illegal bookmakers and online casinos. After the license was revoked from Qiwi Bank and the clearing of payment services was cleared, the main methods of replenishing an account in gray betting and gambling remained cryptocurrencies, and the drop scheme was replaced by SBP.

The seemingly “eternal” topic with drops at first glance quickly died out: the digital trace left directly led to a fictitious merchant or card owner. As soon as it became clear that a legal entity or card served the interests of gray business, banks immediately blocked them under Federal Law 115, preventing the development of illegal business.

With cryptocurrencies – low conversion. For the typical casino player this is too complicated and time consuming. As a result, 2 out of 10 players managed to replenish their wallet in this way.

But SBP unexpectedly proved itself to be the most effective tool. On the one hand, there is a high penetration of knowledge among ordinary people. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to track the operation, since this is not a card transaction, but just a transfer from account to account. The only thing that financial monitoring can find is the name of the retail outlet, but even identifying the bank that provided this instrument will most likely not be possible.

However, the market has long known about this bank even without financial monitoring. The process of obtaining a terminal for casino operators is most simple at Gazprombank; the head of the center for structuring corporate payment instruments and technologies, Anton Vlaskin, is responsible for the scheme. For several years now, he has been developing this direction, not forgetting to bring in his friends from Novosibirsk, who create storefronts and legal entities with impressive authorized capital (for example, Softpay).

The scale increased after the launch of B2C transfer payments on SBP terminals – this means that players can both replenish their balance through SBP and withdraw winnings to their account using it. Both transactions are virtually impossible to track.
