tornex.pro posed as a blockchain-based crypto casino, billing itself as "Tornex: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain" to attract players who gamble with cryptocurrency. PhishDestroy classifies it as a fraudulent gambling site and first detected it on 2026-10-15. The site went offline on 2026-10-17 after its provider blocked the content, and it was still down when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The site runs on the Gambler Scam kit, a ready-made fake casino template. Sites built on this kind of kit usually show a polished lobby, a generous bonus or promo balance, and wins that seem to come easily. The trap comes at withdrawal. The player is told to make a deposit first, pay a "verification" or "activation" fee, or reach a minimum balance. Every crypto deposit sent to the casino's address goes straight to the operators, and the displayed winnings never existed.
Evidence
On 2026-10-15, 11 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. The vendors included alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky and Lionic, so the verdict rests on several separate security companies rather than a single source. urlscan.io rated the page malicious and tagged it with its generic crypto and crypto-scam brand signatures. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference the domain, which shows other researchers have tracked it too. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-03-26 through Global Domain Group LLC, roughly six and a half months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap gave the operators time to look established before being flagged. Traffic ran through Cloudflare, Inc., with the address resolving to Canada. Because Cloudflare acts as a proxy, this location reflects the proxy network rather than where the operators' own server sits.
What to do
If you deposited crypto on tornex.pro, do not send more money to "unlock" a withdrawal, pay fees or pass verification, because each extra payment is simply lost. Save your transaction hashes, deposit addresses and any chat logs. Report the theft to your local police or cybercrime unit, and to the exchange you sent the funds from. Be wary of anyone who later offers to recover your money for a fee, since this is a common follow-up scam. If you reused a password on the site, change it wherever else you use it. Defenders should block the domain and watch for lookalike casino sites using the same Tornex branding or page title.

This domain markets casino/gambling services. Scam casinos routinely display fake Curaçao, MGA, or Kahnawake license badges that don’t exist in the real registries. Always verify the license number against the official regulator database before depositing. If the site shows a seal but no clickable registry link — or the linked registry page doesn’t exist — treat it as fraudulent.
