Affiliates Flock to ‘Soulless’ Scam Gambling Machine
Summary: A Russian-language affiliate program called Gambler Panel supplies a fake casino engine and step-by-step instructions that have driven a surge of scam gambling sites over the past month, promising affiliates up to 70 percent of profits and paying at least $10 per victim verification deposit. The program claims more than 20,000 affiliates and a Telegram channel of roughly 2,500 users, and a 17-year-old researcher named Thereallo linked it to a platform serving over 1,200 domains with shared user data, IP tracking, and a custom API.
Key Takeaway: The scheme runs on a franchise model: Gambler Panel outsources link-spreading to a hungry affiliate network while keeping its own risk low, and its wiki coaches operators to keep victims in live chat within 1-7 minutes and press them for repeated deposits until everything is lost.
