Related Context

Indian cricket has faced serious regulatory scrutiny. In 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached ₹11.14 crore in assets belonging to cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. The move was part of a money laundering investigation into the illegal betting application 1xBet, which had operated in India using proxy business structures despite being banned under Indian law.[1] The ED also summoned Dhawan as part of the investigation, focusing on his role advertising the platform.

Multiple Indian and international celebrities had endorsed 1xBet. This raised serious questions about due diligence in celebrity endorsements of digital gaming and betting products. Betting websites operated in India with minimal oversight for years before the government cracked down. That's why many endorsers didn't thoroughly check whether the platforms they promoted were actually legal. The ED's action against Dhawan and Raina became one of the most high-profile enforcement outcomes from this broader cycle of regulatory neglect followed by sudden enforcement action.[2]

India's approach to online betting relies on multiple laws: the Public Gambling Act of 1867 and the Information Technology Act, 2000. Together they restrict or ban most organized gambling and its promotion through digital channels. Offshore platforms like 1xBet got around these rules by using proxy business structures that hid what they actually did. This made enforcement harder. Once the ED started attaching assets from people who'd promoted and helped 1xBet reach Indian users, things changed.
