Cons
- KRAIL licence revoked 13/14 December 2022 for refusing to obtain a valid state licence
- Reportedly operated on an offshore Curacao licence rather than genuine Ukrainian state licensing
- No operating company or owner independently confirmed
- Continues to be promoted by third-party affiliate sites despite the revocation
Our verdict
GoldCup's KRAIL licence was revoked on 13/14 December 2022, one of the first such revocations in Ukraine, after the operator refused to obtain a valid state gambling licence and instead reportedly relied on an offshore Curacao licence. Given this confirmed, government-ordered licence revocation for refusing state compliance, we recommend against depositing with GoldCup - any promotional content still circulating from third-party affiliate sites should not be treated as current or legal.

About GoldCup
GoldCup was a Ukrainian-market casino whose KRAIL (Ukrainian gambling regulator) licence was revoked on 13/14 December 2022 by Decision No. 438, after the operator refused to obtain a valid state gambling licence - one of the first casinos to lose its licence in Ukraine. It reportedly operated on a Curacao licence rather than genuine Ukrainian state licensing. We could not independently confirm the operating company or owner behind the brand, and found no source linking it to Russia, unlike some other Ukrainian licence revocations from the same period. Several third-party affiliate sites still host promotional content about the brand, which we treat as leftover marketing rather than evidence of current legal operation.
