Actor Vijay Deverakonda has issued a statement regarding his endorsements for gaming applications, clarifying that there is no connection between him and any allegations surrounding these platforms. He emphasized that these gaming applications are entirely legal, government-recognized, and licensed for business operations. Deverakonda went on to point out that notable gaming apps, such as A23, actively sponsor prestigious events, including the Indian Cricket team, the Olympics, the Indian Women’s cricket team, and the Indian Premier League (IPL). He stated that decisions regarding the legality of such applications should fall under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and state governments.
In a related development, actor Prakash Raj appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a purported betting app case. He characterized the situation as a case of money laundering that he did not initiate. Furthermore, the Telangana Police have filed a First Information Report against 25 celebrities and influencers for allegedly endorsing illegal betting and gambling applications on their social media channels. This crackdown highlights ongoing concerns surrounding the promotion of unregulated gaming and betting platforms in India.
