Winzon Group ran a large family of online casinos from Malta. All of them shared one licence. On 11 March 2026 the Malta Gaming Authority cancelled that licence and fined the company. It ordered the company to pay every player back. Some of the casinos have since closed. Others are still open, and still show the cancelled licence number on their pages.

01 · The group

Dozens of casinos, one licence

Winzon Group Limited was a Malta company. It held one licence from the Malta Gaming Authority, numbered MGA/B2C/717/2019.

Under that single licence it ran a long list of casino brands. A public group directory lists around 39 of them. The names include Comix Casino, Freaky Aces, OG Casino, Casdep, Wintika, PlayDingo, Winolla, Wilderino and Dinospin. We have not checked each of those names one by one, so we treat the full list as reported rather than proven.

This is how a lot of online gambling works. One company gets one licence. It then launches many casinos that look like separate businesses. Different names, different colours, different adverts. Same owner, same software, same terms and the same support staff.

Say a player has a bad experience at one casino. He picks another one. He can easily end up back with the same company without knowing.

02 · The shutdown

The regulator pulled the licence

On 11 March 2026 the Malta Gaming Authority cancelled the licence. It published the decision on 7 April 2026.

The stated reason was numerous shortcomings by the company. The regulator did not list them in the public notice. It used a section of Malta gambling rules. That rule lets it cancel a licence when a company fails to meet its duties.

The money side was set out clearly. The company was fined 147,080 euros. It was also told to hand over 46,693 euros in fees and payments it had not made.

A cancelled licence is much stronger than a warning. It means the company was no longer allowed to run any of those casinos under Malta rules from that date.

03 · The money

Ordered to pay everyone back

The regulator gave a direct instruction. Winzon Group had to tell its players what had happened. It had 30 days to do it. It then had to pay back every player balance in full.

It also had to prove it. The order says the company must show documents, such as bank statements, that the refunds were actually made.

That is a strong order. We cannot tell you whether it was obeyed. We found no public confirmation that the refunds were paid, and no complaints saying they were not.

Anyone who held a balance at one of these casinos should contact the Malta Gaming Authority. The refund order is public. It is the strongest position a player in this archive has been left in.

04 · The sites now

Some closed, some still open and still wrong

We loaded four of these casinos ourselves on 10 September 2026. What we found was not the same everywhere.

Freaky Aces and OG Casino are gone. Both addresses now lead to pages offering the domain name for sale. Comix Casino was already listed as closed back in October 2024, well before the licence was cancelled.

Casdep and Wintika are still fully open. They still take sign-ups and deposits. And Casdep still prints the licence number MGA/B2C/717/2019 on its pages, six months after that licence was cancelled.

That is the point of this record. A licence number on a casino page is not proof of anything. It can sit there long after the regulator has taken the licence away. The only way to be sure is to look the number up on the regulator own site.

Do not trust a licence number printed on a casino page. Check it yourself on the regulator website. Two casinos from this group were still showing a cancelled Malta licence six months after it was taken away.

05 · The receipts

How we verified this record

Every claim on this page is graded by how firmly we could check it. Confirmed means we saw it in the operator’s own notice or in a document that cannot easily be faked. Observed means we saw it ourselves on the live site or domain on the date given. Unconfirmed means it has been reported but we could not prove it.

UnconfirmedThe full list of around 39 brandsTaken from a third-party group directory. We did not check every name against a company document.
UnconfirmedWhether any player was actually refundedThe order exists. We found no proof either way that it was carried out.
What we checked, and what we did not. We read the regulator published cancellation notice for the dates, the reason, the fines and the refund order. We loaded four of the group casinos ourselves on 10 September 2026 and recorded what each one returned. We took the brand list from a public group directory and label it as reported, because we did not verify all 39 names. We searched for player reports about refunds and found none either way. We did not contact Winzon Group Limited. Last independently checked: 10 September 2026.

06 · The questions
