Enforcement Directorate action against Gameskraft
India's Enforcement Directorate said on July 24 that it had attached assets worth ₹1,906 crore belonging to online gaming company Gameskraft as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation, according to BusinessLine and The Times of India. The disclosure came in an agency statement issued on Friday, with both outlets publishing the details on the same day.
Allegations of bots and addictive design
The ED alleged that Gameskraft operated an "addictive" online gaming environment that encouraged repeated wagering by users, BusinessLine and The Times of India reported. According to the agency, the platform used automated bots to play against users and generated proceeds of crime through commissions charged on the platform, with the case built on allegations that the design structure lured players into repeated bets.
Cumulative enforcement in the Gameskraft case
With the latest action, the total value of attached, seized and frozen assets in the Gameskraft matter has reached ₹2,401 crore, BusinessLine reported, citing the Enforcement Directorate. The Times of India described the move as a fresh attachment in the same case, indicating that earlier enforcement steps had preceded Friday's action, though the outlets did not enumerate specific prior figures.
