1win, 1win Partners & AffPapa: Sponsorship After a Kazakhstan Investigation, Then a Sri Lanka Block
AffPapa accepted 1win-linked sponsorship after Kazakhstan’s financial-monitoring agency announced an investigation into alleged organizers of an illegal 1WIN casino. Sri Lanka later blocked 1win.com. Kazakhstan’s case remains investigative: unnamed suspects are presumed innocent, & no AffPapa involvement is alleged by the authority.
Checked 2 September 2026
What AffPapa published or retained
AffPapa’s 2025 & 2026 sponsorship pages document its public relationship with 1win-linked businesses.
