As part of its efforts, the Financial Supervisory Authority continues to monitor websites and platforms that may be associated with illegal lotteries.
The Financial Supervisory Authority reports that identified fraudulent lotteries violate laws and pose a threat to the financial security of the population by offering prizes without any legal basis.
Identified platforms with signs of illegal lotteries
During the monitoring, the Financial Supervisory Authority identified the following resources:
Fitness Club "Dasmia"
Shopping Center "Bishkek Park"
YouTube Channel "Million TV"
YouTube Channel "Tulpar TV"
YouTube Channel "Aselden Belek"
YouTube Channel "Meerim TV"
The Financial Supervisory Authority emphasizes that none of these platforms have permission to conduct lottery activities and their actions exhibit signs of illegal draws.
How to recognize an illegal online lottery
The main signs of fraudulent activity include:
• lack of permission to conduct the lottery;
• requirement to transfer money to participate or receive a "prize";
• absence of official rules and conditions for conducting;
• promises of prizes such as cars and large sums of money without legal grounds.
Recommendations from the Financial Supervisory Authority for citizens:
Do not provide personal data and money to organizers of dubious online lotteries.
Avoid participating in suspicious draws that are spread through social networks, messengers, and video services.
If you notice signs of illegal lottery activity, immediately report it to the Financial Supervisory Authority or law enforcement agencies.
How to protect yourself:
• check for the presence of permission to conduct the lottery;
• verify the registration of the lottery in official registers;
• beware of offers that seem too good to be true;
• trust only official sources of information.
The Financial Supervisory Authority strongly urges citizens to remain vigilant, report any facts of illegal lottery activity, and remember that participation in such schemes may lead to legal liability.
