Calls out sites including BetRally, Bet365
The All-India Gaming Federation has reportedly asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block foreign betting websites from accepting deposits from Indian players.
According to Inside Asian Gaming, the AIGF contends that a number of offshore gaming sites are openly accepting bets from Indian players in violation of the country’s Foreign Exchange Management Rules and cyber-laws.
The body says such activity increases the risks for problem gambling among Indian players and also poses a national security risk; it wants the Enforcement Directorate to launch a probe against the websites, including 1xbet, Jeetwin, BetRally and Bet365.
