How scoring works →Summary
Metawin is an offshore crypto casino and gaming platform licensed under the Anjouan (Comoros) gaming authority, operated by Asobi N.V. from Curacao, and founded by Richard 'Skel' Skelhorn. On November 3, 2024, the platform suffered a significant hot wallet exploit across Ethereum and Solana blockchains resulting in approximately $4 million in stolen funds, with blockchain investigator ZachXBT tracing the stolen assets to KuCoin and a nested HitBTC service across more than 115 attacker-linked addresses. The CEO subsequently claimed to have personally covered the losses, restoring withdrawals for approximately 95% of affected users, though the platform's offshore jurisdictional status and the underlying security vulnerability raise ongoing concerns.
