The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has questioned former Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, actor Sonu Sood and Urvashi Rautela in a case related to the promotion and money laundering of online betting apps.

The QR code reaches users on betting sites
According to the report, these betting platforms are using serogate names such as 1xbat and 1xbat sporting lines in the advertisement. Advertisements often contain QR codes that directly redirect users to these betting sites, which is a violation of Indian law.
According to an ED official, it is a violation of several Indian laws including the Information Technology (IT) Act, Foreign Exchange Management Act, Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and Benami Transactions Act.
Promotion as a skill based game but the result is lucky
The official said that notices have already been issued to some famous celebrities, while others are likely to be issued notices soon. ED officials said that these platforms promote themselves as a skill -based game, but give the results based on luck. For this, these platforms use rigged algorithms.
