Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: eric.ns.cloudflare.com, surina.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-12 Expires: 2027-06-12 Page title: Pelbet | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3131b72779edc2ac9b679a8ccd09c9882a1184b75481d1d58f0f9e544abf1ca5 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 17:37:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 19:14:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed63a-2be6-77ce-948a-72c365801407/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4bd96c9b-b80c-41b7-8ad1-c0f6b36c1c03 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pelbet.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pelbet.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pelbet.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pelbet.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pelbet.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:13:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain poses an elevated risk of brand impersonation, specifically targeting users of Crypto Casino and Gambling platforms. By mimicking the appearance and branding of legitimate decentralized Web3 gambling sites, it aims to deceive visitors into providing sensitive information, such as login credentials or cryptocurrency wallet details, which can lead to financial loss and identity theft. Analysis indicates that Pelbet.pro was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on June 12, 2026. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.58.17 and was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain also appeared on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which further suggests its malicious intent. The page title 'Pelbet | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust' was designed to appear trustworthy and attract unsuspecting users. If an individual has visited Pelbet.pro, they should immediately check their cryptocurrency wallets and online accounts for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to change passwords and enable two-factor authentication on all relevant platforms. Additionally, users should monitor their financial statements and report any suspicious transactions to their financial institution. For further peace of mind, it may be beneficial to run a full system scan using reputable antivirus software and to alert the security team of the legitimate Crypto Casino or Gambling platform they believe was impersonated. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-A25339 Favicon MD5: 37c40b3a7287eeb1108ead5339b3da73 TLS cert SHA-256: 3131b72779edc2ac9b679a8ccd09c9882a1184b75481d1d58f0f9e544abf1ca5 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pelbet.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pelbet.pro Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
