FinTelegram’s latest compliance analysis flags Contiant Ltd (Bulgaria) as a payment “technical service provider” (TSP) sitting in front of Yapily Connect UAB (licensed/authorized PSD2 rail), enabling account-to-account “pay-by-bank” deposits into offshore casino brands that appear to target restricted markets—most notably the Netherlands.

FinTelegram’s latest compliance analysis flags Contiant Ltd (Bulgaria) as a technical service provider sitting in front of Yapily Connect UAB’s PSD2 rails, enabling pay-by-bank deposits for offshore casino brands apparently offered into restricted/unauthorized markets—notably the Netherlands (based on traffic signals).

Risk Signal

The key risk isn’t a single casino domain. It’s the stack: casino checkout → paywith.contiant.com → Yapily consent/authorization flow (including “Powered by Yapily” UI) → bank approval (e.g., Revolut user journeys referenced in the report). This structure can create plausible distance between the licensed rail provider and the gambling merchant—while the regulated rails still settle the underlying transaction.

FinTelegram also notes traffic intelligence suggesting casino-only referral traffic into Contiant’s payment subdomain and a strong NL concentration, which—if sustained—should trigger enhanced partner due diligence and transaction-monitoring escalations at multiple points in the chain.
