Campaign
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
A Russian-language affiliate program called Gambler Panel is driving a broad scam-gambling campaign that uses deceptive social ads and fake promo codes to funnel users into crypto deposits on disposable wagering sites. The operation matters because it scales fraud through a shared playbook, repeated traffic sources, and a large affiliate network instead of a single site.
