Winning.io and Scatters Group

Updated Intelligence Report on Ownership, Control, and Evidence Suppression

Executive Overview

Following the December 2025 exposé published by Scam-Or Project concerning the Winning.io / Scatters Group ecosystem, new whistleblower material has emerged. The documents and statements received provide additional confirmation that economic ownership and operational control ultimately lead to Starkeast Management B.V., an entity reportedly controlled by Menno Jordaan.

According to the whistleblower, all related gambling platforms are now operated through structures linked to Starkeast, with Menno Jordaan acting as the visible controller. The source further asserts that Jordaan simultaneously holds a directorship role at Starscream Limited, reinforcing the view that these entities form a unified operational network rather than independent businesses.

Post-Exposure Scrubbing: Removal of Winning.io References

Whistleblower Evidence Preservation

The anonymous source states that immediately after Scam-Or Project’s December 2025 publication, Alexis Wicén and Scatters Group removed all public references to Winning.io from their online materials. According to the whistleblower, this action was taken to conceal the prior association rather than to clarify or correct it.

The source confirms that screenshots were preserved before the removals occurred, ensuring that historical records remain available for review.

Archived Materials Provided

The whistleblower submitted documentary evidence demonstrating that:

• LinkedIn Post (2023): Scatters Group publicly announced Winning.io as its newest crypto casino and its first sportsbook, explicitly identifying it as the fifth Scatters Group brand.
• LinkedIn Company Profile: The “About Us” section of Scatters Group previously listed Winning.io alongside Scatters Casino, Sticky Wilds, GoSlot, and BitReels.

Current Public Status (January 2026)

As of this update, all references to Winning.io have been removed from Scatters Group’s public-facing channels. The timing of this removal—directly following the December 2025 investigation—represents a notable compliance and governance red flag.

Compliance Interpretation: Why Evidence Removal Matters

In financial crime and regulatory enforcement contexts, the deliberate deletion of documentary links after public exposure is widely interpreted as an indicator of awareness of potential wrongdoing. Rather than issuing clarifications or legal rebuttals, Scatters Group opted to erase traces of the relationship.

This behavior strongly suggests that:

• The relationship exceeded a simple marketing or consultancy arrangement.
• Scatters Group and its leadership were aware of regulatory exposure tied to Winning.io.
• The removals were intended to establish plausible deniability before regulatory scrutiny intensified.

All materials supplied by the whistleblower have been preserved by Scam-Or Project and can be made available to authorities upon request.

Ownership and Control Path: Starkeast Management & Menno Jordaan

Whistleblower Statement

The source explicitly states that ownership and control of the associated gambling platforms are exercised through Starkeast Management, naming Menno Jordaan as the individual behind the structure and confirming his parallel role at Starscream Limited.

Cyprus Registry Findings

Official records from the Cyprus Companies Registry list Starkeast Management B.V. (Netherlands) as a director of Wagercraft Services Ltd (Cyprus, HE 455954). This Cyprus-based entity functions as the operational and payment arm for Winning.io.

According to Winning.io’s Terms & Conditions dated January 15, 2026, Wagercraft Services Ltd is described as the operator and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Wagercraft Limited (St. Lucia).

The Starscream Link

The whistleblower confirms that Menno Jordaan also serves as director of Starscream Limited, a St. Lucia entity operating former Gammix brands—including Scatters Casino, Locowin, Vegadream, and GoSlot—under a Kahnawake Gaming Commission license.

This establishes structural symmetry between Starscream and Wagercraft, both allegedly controlled through Starkeast Management, indicating a coordinated multi-entity framework rather than isolated ventures.

The Rabidi Precedent

Historical Pattern

Starkeast Management previously surfaced in the Rabidi N.V. insolvency case. In that matter:

• Rabidi N.V. transferred 34 casino brands to Adonio N.V. for €1.2 million.
• No payment was received by Rabidi.
• Starkeast Management N.V. acted as statutory director of Adonio.
• The insolvency administrator declared the transaction fraudulent and void, initiating claims against Starkeast for asset stripping.

This same structural mechanism—asset transfers between shells under Starkeast oversight—appears mirrored in the Winning.io and Starscream/Wagercraft configuration.

Nominee Role Assessment

Scam-Or Project’s analysis suggests that Menno Jordaan functions as a professional nominee director via Starkeast Management B.V. and its Curaçao counterpart. While publicly positioned as the controller, Jordaan is assessed as representing deeper beneficial owners, potentially located in Cyprus or the Netherlands, whose identities remain intentionally concealed.

Licensing Ambiguity and Regulatory Arbitrage

Declared Status (January 2026)

Winning.io’s current Terms & Conditions identify Wagercraft Services Ltd (Cyprus) as operator, with Wagercraft Limited (St. Lucia) as parent.

However, archived screenshots and third-party reviews previously described Winning.io as operating under Dama N.V. (Curaçao) with license number 8048/JAZ2020-13 issued by Antillephone N.V.

Functional Interpretation

This layered structure enables the operator to:

• Reference Curaçao licensing when challenged publicly.
• Shift responsibility to Cyprus entities during payment scrutiny.
• Attribute ultimate control to St. Lucia when EU regulators intervene.

The insertion of Starkeast Management B.V. as director further obscures beneficial ownership and accountability.

Updated Network Snapshot: Winning.io

Pattern Comparison: Rabidi vs. Winning.io

Rabidi Case

• Asset transfers without compensation
• Nominee directorship via Starkeast
• Continuation of casinos under new shells

Winning.io Case

• Marketing launch via Scatters Group
• Operations routed through Cyprus and St. Lucia
• Licensing claims shifting jurisdictions
• Evidence removal following media exposure

The parallels strongly indicate a reusable asset-migration and liability-avoidance model.

Conclusion

The whistleblower disclosures—supported by preserved documentation—reinforce the conclusion that Winning.io is controlled through Starkeast Management B.V., with Menno Jordaan acting as the visible coordinating figure. The post-exposure removal of Winning.io references by Scatters Group represents a deliberate attempt to distance key actors from a high-risk operation rather than a transparent compliance response.

Additionally, the documented use of payment routing, transaction masking, and encouragement of VPN use illustrates a coordinated strategy to bypass national gambling regulations.

Scam-Or Project urges the Malta Gaming Authority, Dutch KSA, French ANJ, and relevant Cyprus authorities to examine the Scatters Group, Starscream, and Wagercraft structures, including the role of Starkeast Management B.V. across jurisdictions.
