What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Golden Panda over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Golden Panda - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
Golden Panda Casino, launched in late 2024, has rapidly positioned itself as a notable entity in the online gambling arena. Its extensive game selection and attractive promotional offers have drawn in a substantial player base. However, beneath this appealing facade, several concerning issues have emerged that warrant the attention of both potential investors and players.
Financial Transactions: A Web of Complications
One of the most pressing concerns revolves around the casino’s handling of financial transactions, particularly withdrawals. Players from various countries have reported significant delays and complications when attempting to access their winnings.
For example, a player from Latvia reported a prolonged delay in receiving their withdrawal, despite having completed all necessary procedures. The lack of communication and resolution led to frustration and distrust.
Similarly, a player from the United Kingdom faced account access issues due to verification problems. Despite assurances from customer service that the balance would be transferred once the issue was resolved, access from the UK was subsequently closed for commercial reasons, leaving the player’s funds in limbo.
Another troubling case involved a player from Italy who reported losing over €300 in commission fees after depositing more than €3,000. The player experienced long wait times for chat support and received no replies to emails, exacerbating the situation.
Licensing and Regulatory Oversight: A Questionable Foundation
Golden Panda Casino operates under a license from Curaçao, a jurisdiction often criticized for its lenient regulatory oversight. While this allows the casino to operate internationally, it also means that players have limited avenues for recourse in the event of disputes. The lack of stringent regulations can lead to practices that may not align with the best interests of consumers.
Customer Support: A Disparity Between Promise and Practice
The casino advertises customer support availability via email and live chat. However, user experiences paint a different picture. Many players have reported long wait times, unhelpful responses, and a general lack of resolution to pressing issues. This discrepancy between advertised support and actual service further erodes trust.
Promotional Offers: Attractive Yet Potentially Misleading
Golden Panda Casino offers a 200% welcome bonus up to €7,500, released in four batches, with a 15x wagering requirement per batch. While this appears generous, the terms and conditions, including a seven-day limit to meet wagering requirements, make it challenging for players to fully benefit. Such promotions may be more about attracting new players than providing genuine value.
Trustworthiness and Reputation: A Tarnished Image
The casino’s reputation has been further marred by reports indicating a very low trust score, suggesting a strong likelihood of deceptive practices. Players are advised to exercise extreme caution when engaging with the platform.
Conclusion: Proceed with Caution
While Golden Panda Casino presents itself as a premier online gaming destination, the myriad of issues reported by players paints a different picture. From financial transaction complications and questionable licensing to inadequate customer support and misleading promotions, there are significant red flags that cannot be ignored.
Potential investors and players are advised to conduct thorough due diligence, seek out unbiased reviews, and be wary of platforms that prioritize profit over player welfare. In the world of online gambling, where trust is paramount, Golden Panda Casino has considerable work to do to establish its credibility.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
