Gamdom Review: Inside the High-Risk World of a Crypto Casino and Its Payment Network

Overview

Scam-Or Project continues its examination of the high-risk online gambling market and its associated payment intermediaries. This review focuses on Gamdom, a crypto casino operated by Smein Hosting B.V., a company holding an offshore license in Curaçao. Despite the absence of authorization in EEA jurisdictions, Gamdom actively offers its services to European players. The platform has even launched its own token, Gamdom Coins, which are traded on the Binance BNB Chain and can be purchased via PayOp using credit or debit cards.

Gamdom Key Information

How Gamdom Operates

Although Smein Hosting B.V. does not hold a gambling license within the EEA, Scam-Or Project’s review found that players residing in multiple EEA countries can easily register and deposit funds. Direct deposits are made through cryptocurrencies and gift cards, while indirect deposits occur through credit/debit card or bank transfers.

Indirect deposits require users to buy cryptocurrencies through connected payment processors, which are then automatically credited to their Gamdom wallet.

Vilnius IT Solutions UAB, registered in Lithuania as an online marketing company, serves as Gamdom’s payment agent.

Gamdom Coins and Payment Processors

Gamdom functions entirely as a crypto-based casino, meaning all deposits are processed through cryptocurrencies. Players can, however, indirectly fund their accounts using connected facilitators, which purchase the required cryptocurrency on their behalf.

The casino’s own token, Gamdom Coin, is traded on the BNB Chain and can be purchased with credit/debit cards or bank transfers via these intermediaries. Once the purchase is made, the funds are automatically credited to the user’s Gamdom account — usually with significant processing fees.

Investigations show that BitInvestor and PayOp act as the primary payment facilitators. Through BitInvestor, players can purchase crypto via bank transfer or credit card, which is then transferred directly to Gamdom.

BitInvestor ApS (operating as BitInvestor) is supervised by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and registered in Canada with Fintrac as a Money Service Business (MSB).

As seen across other gambling operators, Gamdom reflects the growing industry trend toward open banking and cryptocurrency-based deposits.

Compliance and Chargeback Concerns

While Smein Hosting’s Curaçao license allows it to operate offshore, it does not automatically permit the offering of gambling services in other regulatory jurisdictions such as the UK or most EEA member states. Despite this, registration and deposits from European residents were fully accessible during Scam-Or Project’s test sessions.

By contrast, some compliant operators — for example, Versus Odds B.V. — restrict access and block IP addresses from unauthorized regions, adhering to local regulatory standards.

A significant issue with Gamdom is chargeback enforcement. Since deposits are converted to cryptocurrency through third-party processors before being credited to the casino, refunds or chargebacks are nearly impossible. For instance, players purchasing Gamdom Coins through PayOp receive them instantly and often lose them during gameplay, leaving no chargeback mechanism available.

Crypto casinos like Gamdom remain among the highest-risk operations within the online gambling sector.
