Extradition for illegal gambling: blogger Kaisar Kamzu is being brought from Vietnam to Kazakhstan over the Pin-Up online casino case
Blogger Kaisar Kamzu appears to be extradited from Vietnam to Kazakhstan.
Journalist Mikhail Kozachkov’s followers sent photos from Cam Ranh Airport.
The photos show Kamza accompanied by a man who looks like an AFM employee, Orda reports, citing journalist Kozachkov .
As a reminder, Kamza was placed on the international wanted list back in January 2026. He gained over two million followers on Instagram thanks to his trashy content and then began making money from illegal advertising.

Pin-Up Scheme
The casino operated under the guise of the foreign bookmaker Pin-Up, which had an official license in Kazakhstan. However, players were redirected to websites offering roulette and other prohibited games. Kamza advertised this scheme and received large commissions for it.
Almost $200,000 in cryptocurrency alone was found on him .
When the scheme was uncovered, the blogger fled to Southeast Asia. In April, Vietnamese security forces detained him in Cam Ranh Bay at the request of the Kazakh Prosecutor General’s Office.
In May, Kamza recorded a video from Vietnam and claimed he had not been arrested. He claimed his passport was confiscated by immigration officials, and he was in Nha Trang.
"I wasn’t arrested, they just took my passport at the immigration service. Wish me well,"
the blogger said.
Judging by the latest photos from Cam Ranh Airport, its "best days" have yet to arrive.
Who is behind Pin-Up?
US citizen Dmitri Druzhinsky and Ukrainian citizen Marina Levkovich have also been placed on the wanted list in the same case . Investigators believe they coordinated the operation of an online casino network under the Pin-Up and PINCO brands in Kazakhstan.
To disguise their business, they registered Bonami LLC with a bookmaker’s license, and transferred clients’ money through a network of aggregator firms into cryptocurrency and abroad.
According to journalist Kozachkov, the ultimate beneficiaries of the bookmaker and casino are Russian citizen Dmitry Punin and Ukrainian citizen Marina Ilyina. They are husband and wife and live in Cyprus.
The editors sent a request to AFM, but at the time of publication the information had not yet been received.
