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