In November 2021, a report emerged accusing Evolution AB, a leader in the online gaming sector, of operating in black markets, including countries under U.S. sanctions such as Syria, Iran, and Sudan. The report, submitted by the law firm Calcagni & Kanefsky LLP (C-K) to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE) and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, alleged that Evolution's live-dealer games were being accessed in jurisdictions where online gambling is prohibited. The accusations, compiled by the Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube, claimed that Evolution had knowingly allowed its services to be streamed into these restricted regions.
