Cosmolot under the control of Mykhailo Zborovskyi: who runs shadow schemes in the online casino market
In March 2024, LLC "Neurolink" obtained a casino license from KRAIL. Its owner, Mykhailo Zborovskyi, born in 1991, studied economics with a focus on Accounting and Auditing at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Mykhailo Zborovskyi had financial difficulties. In 2018, the university filed a lawsuit against him in the Holosiivskyi district court to recover tuition fees. According to Zborovskyi’s official biography, which was «stuffed» into dummy sites to promote him on Google, after studying, he worked as an economist in a bank, and then for three years took programming courses, up to and including 2019.

Six years before becoming the owner of Cosmobet, Mykhailo Zborovskyi was definitely not a millionaire and was even unemployed for a long time.
The authors of his biography report that as a programmer, he serviced LLC «Adtek», LLC «Epic Media», and Rikkicom. In the first company, in 2023, only one employee officially worked, and the authorized capital is 50 thousand hryvnias. The capital of the second company is even less – 10 thousand hryvnias. Both companies operate at the same address in Odesa, only located in different offices.

The third firm – Rikkicom, where, according to the official version, Mykhailo Zborovskyi worked, is a bit more known. As stated on the official website, its clients are the Novus retail network, OKKO gas stations, and the online casino Parimatch, which is under the sanctions of the National Security and Defence Council. And this is the only thing that connected Zborovskyi with the gambling business until 2023, when he became the beneficiary of the company «Neurolink», which owns the license for the online casino Cosmobet. However, even at Rikkicom, he could hardly have suddenly become wealthy. According to financial indicators, this firm in 2023 generated only 133 thousand hryvnias in revenue.
Another version of Zborovskyi’s biography mentions another company where he was engaged in programming – XGen Solutions LTD. The firm indeed operates in the IT and consulting sectors and is located in Cyprus. It is an offshore company of the Russian Cosmolot by Sergey Tokaryev.
