FinTelegram has been closely tracking the activities and networks surrounding both SoftSwiss and SpotOption for years, with a particular focus on the key individuals driving these ventures. Our latest investigation on Playnance raises a hypothesis that requires urgent confirmation or refutation from informed insiders.

Background: SoftSwiss and Playnance

SoftSwiss (www.softswiss.com) is a well-known iGaming and crypto gambling software provider with a significant footprint in the global online gambling market. Founded in 2008 by Ivan Montik, it has built a strong portfolio of products and partnerships, including crypto payment systems and online casino platforms. The company has long been associated with individuals who maintain extensive personal and business ties to Israel, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus region.

Playnance (www.playnance.com), meanwhile, appears to be the blockchain-age evolution of an older business model once operated by Pini Peter (born Malhaz Pinhas Patarkazishvili), widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the binary options industry.

For years, his Israel-based SpotOption platform was a central technology provider for numerous binary options brands that, according to the US SEC and US DOJ, were part of one of the largest online investment fraud schemes in history. In its most recent reporting, FinTelegram has raised the possibility that

Playnance may be functioning as SpotOption’s successor on blockchain rails, offering similar underlying functionality but within the crypto and Web3 environment.

The Hypothesis: Georgian Connections

Our working hypothesis—still unconfirmed—is that Roland Isaev and/or Paata Gamgoneishvili, both prominent figures with excellent connections to Israel, may have joined or are otherwise associated with Playnance under Pini Peter’s leadership.

Fact: Isaev, Gamgoneishvili, and Peter were all born in Georgia, a shared origin that often translates into strong business and political networks.

Fact: Isaev and Gamgoneishvili already have established ties to sectors overlapping with blockchain, online gambling, and payment services—areas relevant to Playnance’s business model.

Hypothesis: Given the past interlinking of personal and business networks in the binary options and gaming sectors, their possible collaboration with Playnance warrants closer scrutiny.

Why This Matters

If confirmed, the involvement of these figures could signal a continuation or transformation of business strategies seen during the binary options era, now adapted for blockchain-based markets. Given the regulatory and criminal history surrounding SpotOption’s operations, any such collaboration would raise significant compliance, investor protection, and enforcement questions.

Our Request to Insiders and Whistleblowers

We are asking individuals with direct knowledge or documentary evidence to come forward with information that can:

1. Confirm or refute the involvement of Roland Isaev and/or Paata Gamgoneishvili in Playnance’s operations.

2. Clarify the ownership, control, or strategic partnerships behind Playnance.

3. Provide insights into whether Playnance’s business model replicates the SpotOption framework—this time within blockchain-based gambling, trading, or financial services.

Your information will help us verify facts and inform regulators, law enforcement, and the public about potential risks in the evolving online investment and gambling ecosystem.
