After journalists revealed Dragon Money’s history, the casino acted swiftly to remove evidence of bans, pyramid schemes, fraudulent licenses, and unpaid winnings, highlighting the dubious nature of its Kyiv operations.
Dragon Money primarily serves customers in the post-Soviet region, though it is accessible elsewhere. As usual, reliable information about the casino is hard to find, with search results dominated by advertisements.
There’s no need to recount what the ads say – advertisements are meant to praise the advantages and gloss over the flaws. The information about Dragon Money casino that was painstakingly gathered can be roughly divided into two parts: official (documents, licenses, bans, etc.) and player reviews.
Let’s start with the reviews. First, let’s clarify – reviews are subjective, and they should be approached with a degree of skepticism, without fully trusting either overtly positive or equally negative ones. Especially since, judging by the style of the reviews, those praising Dragon Money are clearly bots: the texts are similar in style and content. Negative reviews provide a bit more insight into the fact that not everything is right with Dragon Money’s operations, although, to the casino’s credit, they do respond to these reviews and attempt to reply. However, it seems that’s where the interaction ends: the issues remain unresolved.
In summary, we have the following: negative reviews from players and partners of Dragon Money; an outright ban on its operations in Ukraine and Russia; in Russia, Dragon Money is listed in the registry of organizations with signs of a pyramid scheme; a murky history of ownership and jurisdiction changes – this only confirms the Central Bank of Russia’s conclusion about a «pyramid»; a laudatory article about the casino from a Russian fraudster who was sentenced in the US. Additionally, it should be noted: to play at Dragon Money casino, in most cases, you will need to use «mirror sites». However, this poses no problem:
And a bit more about bans and the lack of a license: as reported by several publications, Dragon Money has an office in Kyiv, from where technical support is provided. The organizer of this office, which employs over 50 people, is said to be Oleksandr Myrnyi, a former member of the Ukrainian parliament.
So, it doesn’t really matter where the casino is registered: in Curaçao or Costa Rica. Or in the UK, where a company named Dragon Money was also registered until 2012. It doesn’t matter at all – the central office of this outfit is located in the heart of Kyiv. And this entire pyramid is managed from there. Without having any legal status whatsoever in this city or this country. Do you want to gamble with an illegal outfit? Well, the choice – to play or not to play at Dragon Money – is entirely yours. Just don’t complain later. You’ve been warned.
