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: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 19:12:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 17:15:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 10:30:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:16:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eeb29-ff75-7011-8dcc-7f7c652bbe30/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/09b6ff85-5645-43ad-b75a-9e0fdc2a898e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pragmatic-bets.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pragmatic-bets.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pragmatic-bets.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pragmatic-bets.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pragmatic-bets.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pragmatic-bets.com, a domain impersonating the brand Base, has been flagged by 8 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The site, which purportedly offered a crypto casino experience based on blockchain, has been taken down and is no longer active. Despite its offline status, its platform risk score was notably high at 73/100, indicating significant potential for harm if it were operational. This domain was registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and hosted on an IP address located in Switzerland, under the organization SKN Subnet & Telecom Ltd. The SSL certificate for the site was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common provider for many legitimate and illegitimate sites alike. The impersonation scam aimed to exploit the popularity of online crypto casinos, misleading users into believing they were interacting with a legitimate Base-affiliated service. The rapid detection of pragmatic-bets.com by PhishDestroy, just two days after its creation on June 19, 2026, underscores the effectiveness of early threat identification. The domain's presence on a public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, further highlights its malicious intent. Although the site is now offline, the incident serves as a reminder of the persistent threat posed by phishing domains, particularly those that exploit popular brands and emerging technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-CB5190 Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: 8d860a8d0e6235e87dfc5a96e6e167c45f32815e748f8b06e3ae4a7ed0f26979 ## 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/pragmatic-bets.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pragmatic-bets.com 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.
