The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) of Kazakhstan has announced an international search for blogger Mahmud Hikmatov (Maha.dxb) from Uzbekistan. He is suspected of promoting illegal iGaming operators in the country, including SultanGames, PINCO, Nomadcasino, Pin-Up, and Vavada.
A court has sanctioned Hikmatov's detention. According to the agency, unnamed organizers assigned him the role of attracting influencers to advertise several iGaming brands. In total, he connected over 35 bloggers to the advertising campaign, including Kaisar Kamza, who was previously extradited to Kazakhstan from Vietnam.
