Texas and Alabama regulators issue an emergency cease and desist order to Sand Vegas Casino Club
Sand Vegas Casino Club or SVCC is a virtual Cyprus-registered casino that had planned to release a collection of around 111,111 NFTs. But the states securities regulators of Texas and Alabama issued an emergence cease and desist order against Sand Vegas Casino Club, Martin Schwarzberger, and Finn Ruben Warnke and accused them of offering NFTs, or non-fungible tokens illegally.
Texas State Securities Board's order
The Texas State Securities Board's order has accused the Schwarzberger, Warnke, and SVCC of "leveraging interest in metaverses to perpetrate a high-tech fraudulent securities offering." This accusation was mainly due to the plans of the virtual casino to release around 111,111 Gambler NFTs so that they could raise funds for their casinos in popular metaverse worlds of Sandbox, Decentraland, Infinity Void, and NFT Worlds.“The metaverse provides brands with new commercial opportunities, and many investors are now considering the latest high-tech products,” said Enforcement Director Joe Rotunda. “However, bad actors are now leveraging interest in these opportunities and products. Virtual reality can leave you virtually broke."Furthermore, the order also noted that the owners of the Gambler NFTs and Golden Gambler NFTs will receive a share of profits as per advertisements. The projections said that Gambler NFT owners could get $102 and $2,040 per NFT per month or $1,224 and $24,480 per NFT per year while Golden Gambler NFT owners might make $540 and $6,750 per NFT per month or $6,480 and $81,000 per NFT per year.
Obstruction of regulation
The order also noted that the SVCC are telling their followers that the Gambler and Golden Gambler NFTs are not regulated as securities, "falsely claiming the securities laws do not regulate any NFTs.""The Respondents are also devising a scheme to obstruct any attempt to regulate the Gambler NFTs and Golden Gambler NFTs, according to the order. They are misleading purchasers by claiming they can simply avoid securities regulation by implementing illusory features or using different terminology."Taking into account all these scenarios, the Texas and Alabama authorities have issued the emergency cease and desist which will aim to put a stop to the NFT sale as the "Gambler NFTs and Golden Gambler NFTs are not registered or permitted for sale in Texas."
It is also important to mentioned here that the authorities from Texas and Alabama claimed that Celsius violated securities laws.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
