If you have an active account or pending withdrawal at any of Royal Partners casino brands, this article is essential reading. On May 20, 2026, law enforcement conducted a large-scale operation at the iGaming affiliate network offices in Minsk, Belarus — and the fallout is affecting players directly.
Payment systems are down. Customer support is unresponsive at multiple brands. Withdrawals are not being processed. And as of the time of writing, there is still no firm timeline for when normal operations will resume.
What Is Royal Partners?
Royal Partners is one of the larger iGaming affiliate networks operating across Eastern Europe and the CIS region. Founded in 2017, the company runs its own portfolio of online casino brands rather than simply promoting third-party operators. That means when something goes wrong at the corporate level, it hits all of their casino properties simultaneously.
Their portfolio includes well-known player-facing brands such as Sol Casino, Fresh Casino, Starda Casino, Irwin Casino, Iris Casino, Legzo Casino, Izzi Casino, Rox Casino, Jet Casino, Fugu Casino, and several others — 18 brands in total.
What Happened on May 20, 2026?
In the early morning hours of May 20, law enforcement — including SWAT personnel — entered at least one of Royal Partners offices in Minsk, Belarus. The operation ran from early morning until approximately noon. Equipment was seized, and a number of employees were detained and questioned.
According to information from an internal company call, the stated reason for the raid was unpaid taxes. However, earlier speculation pointed to potential issues involving cross-border cryptocurrency payment flows between Russia, Belarus, and other countries.
What Does This Mean for Players?
All payment systems across the network 18 casino brands have reportedly been disabled. Withdrawals are not being processed, player support is unresponsive, and deposits may also fail. New registrations carry significant risk while operations are suspended.
