PIN-UP Bet, PIN-UP Partners & AffPapa: The Sponsor Link, Sri Lanka Block & Entity Question

Published: Updated: 2 min read

Last reviewed · Editorial policy

InfoBets investigation into PIN-UP Partners & AffPapa, illustrated with authentic original brand marks.
Original brand marks reproduced within an InfoBets editorial composition to identify the subjects of the investigation.

AffPapa promoted PIN-UP Partners as an iGaming Club sponsor & mapped the program to PIN-UP-branded gambling. Sri Lanka later ordered pin-up.bet blocked in August 2026. The record does not prove that the sponsor operated the domain, & AffPapa did not answer the entity or due-diligence questions.

Evidence cut-off: 2 September 2026.

What AffPapa published or retained

AffPapa’s sponsor page & affiliate-program descriptions establish a brand relationship, not legal identity across every PIN-UP-labelled business.

What the authority did

Sri Lanka identifies pin-up.bet at domain level. It does not name PIN-UP Partners or establish a legal identity between the domain operator & any other PIN-UP-labelled company.

Chronology

  1. 2025: PIN-UP Partners became a Silver Sponsor of iGaming Club Malaga.
  2. AffPapa’s program material mapped PIN-UP Partners to PIN-UP Casino & PIN-UP Bet.
  3. 6 August 2026: Sri Lanka ordered pin-up.bet blocked as an unauthorized, unlicensed service.
  4. 2 September 2026: The corporate chain between the sponsor, domain & other PIN-UP entities remained unestablished.

The question this case raises

Which legal entity stood behind the sponsorship? Sri Lanka’s pin-up.bet notice alone does not identify the PIN-UP Partners contracting company.

Reply record

InfoBets’ record says AffPapa & the relevant brand were invited to reply by 20 August 2026, 17:00 CEST; none was received by the 2 September cut-off. Silence is not an admission.
