The domain gamepub.bet was registered on January 18 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is currently offline. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are elliot.ns.cloudflare.com and janet.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare’s DNS service. No SSL certificate was observed, indicating that the site operated without transport encryption. The page title retrieved from the site reads "GAMEPUB | Play at the best online casino based on Blockchain," suggesting a promotional front for a blockchain‑based gambling service.

The intelligence categorises the activity as a crypto scam and links the delivery mechanism to a known Gambler Scam phishing kit. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis reported that 1 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain, reinforcing suspicion of malicious intent. PhishDestroy has also taken the domain offline as part of its takedown effort.

The elevated risk rating reflects the combination of a cryptocurrency‑focused lure, lack of TLS, low trust score, and detection by multiple security vendors. Uncertainty remains around the exact payload delivered to victims, as no sample of the hosted content is publicly available. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare IP range, and update endpoint detection rules to flag any payloads associated with the Gambler Scam kit. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised should the domain become active again or additional detections emerge.
