Update
The May 26 update is based on information shared via a third-party Telegram channel, in which the author claims to have spoken directly with Royal Partners leadership. This has not been independently verified, and Royal Partners has not issued a formal public statement.
The core message from leadership is clear: Royal Partners is not going anywhere. Operations will continue, and the process of restoring normal activity across all areas is already underway.
The following key points were communicated during a call and represent the official position of the company:
- The reason for the raid was unpaid taxes. Authorities entered the offices on those grounds.
- Many executives remain in pretrial detention. Dozens of people are being held, though some are periodically released.
- Phones have been confiscated from many employees and managers, making contact difficult across the organization.
- Offices remain sealed and equipment has been seized. The company expects the offices to eventually be unsealed, but no timeline has been given.
- Legal teams are actively working on the cases of those detained and on broader company issues. They will soon begin advising employees who still have active contracts and are uncertain what to do.
- Affiliate payments (CPA and revenue share) will be made, though with some delay — possibly just a few days.
- Players are being paid. There are delays and some queues, but staff are handling withdrawals. Some aspects of the withdrawal process have been simplified. Full normalization is expected soon.
- Commission tracking may be affected. The company acknowledges that some affiliate commissions may no longer be tracking correctly and will review the data. Traffic and player numbers have declined across products, but are described as not critical.
- Employees will be offered relocation assistance and are asked not to rush to leave the company. The hope is that Belarusian offices will eventually reopen, but the office network will expand and not remain solely in Belarus.
- The company has no intention of shutting down. All obligations to players, affiliates, and employees are expected to be fulfilled. Communication between companies and departments is being re-established.
⚠️ Breaking: Law enforcement conducted searches at Royal Partners’ offices in Minsk on the morning of May 20, 2026. The operation involved SWAT personnel and ran from early morning until approximately noon. Equipment was removed from at least one office location.
