On Friday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested three founders of Gameskraft Technologies — Deepak Singh, Prithvi Raj Singh, and Vikas Taneja — as part of an investigation into a ₹1,000 crore betting scam. The arrests were made under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following searches in Karnataka and the National Capital Region on May 7. The case involves multiple FIRs alleging cheating and fraud linked to Gameskraft's real-money gaming platforms, including RummyCulture and Pocket52. The company, founded in June 2017, reportedly generated ₹3,475 crore in revenue in FY24 but ceased operations after a government ban on such platforms last August, resulting in massive layoffs. Allegations against the company include manipulation of game outcomes and restricting user withdrawals, with some users reportedly suffering significant financial losses. The ED has seized incriminating evidence during its investigation, including documents and electronic devices. This investigation is separate from an earlier probe that led to the freezing of assets worth ₹523 crore linked to Gameskraft and another platform, WinZO.
