Coldbet, Coldbet Partners & AffPapa: The Partnership Before Sri Lanka’s August 2026 Block
Last reviewed · Editorial policy
AffPapa announced a direct Coldbet Partners collaboration in April 2026. Sri Lanka then ordered coldbet.com blocked in August as an unauthorized service operating without the required licence. The domain match is exact, but the notice does not identify the operator company or decide Coldbet’s status elsewhere.
Evidence cut-off: 2 September 2026.
What AffPapa published or retained
AffPapa’s April 2026 partnership article documents the affiliate-program-to-brand mapping.
What the authority did
Sri Lanka identifies coldbet.com as an unauthorized site offering without the required licence. The notice does not name a corporate operator.
