P.M. Phanindra Sarma, a 32-year-old Miyapur businessman, filed the complaint after alleging that a number of influencers and celebrities were enticing people to invest in gambling platforms by means of pop-up advertisements and social media promotions. Mr. Sarma claimed that when speaking with young people in his colony on March 16, 2025, he learned about the problem and discovered that a lot of people had wasted their hard-earned cash on gambling and betting apps that were recommended by celebrities. The case was booked under provisions 318(4), 112 read with 49 BNS and Section 3, 3(A), 4 of TS Gaming Act and Section (D) of IT Act.
Amidst, all the ongoing drama and chaos, this issue comes as a big question mark in front of all the people who are violating gambling laws and regulations.
The major concern that prevails is why is it difficult to completely ban any illegal apps that promote betting and gambling whereas, it was easy for the government to take out apps like TikTok from India.
