Illegal Betting App Case: Suresh Raina Appears Before Enforcement Directorate on August 13


Former Team India cricketer Suresh Raina appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in New Delhi on August 13, 2025, in connection with an ongoing illegal betting app probe. The investigation is focused on alleged money laundering and unregulated gambling activities linked to online sports betting platforms.


Background of the case


The illegal betting app allegedly enabled large-scale online gambling on cricket and other sports.


Authorities suspect that hawala networks and shell companies were used to launder illegal earnings.


Several prominent figures, including businessmen and celebrities, have already been summoned by the ED.



Why was Suresh Raina called?


According to sources, Raina’s statement was sought to clarify certain financial transactions and endorsement links with the betting app operators.


Raina has not been accused of wrongdoing.


His presence was for witness examination rather than criminal interrogation.


The cricketer fully cooperated with ED officials during the questioning.



ED’s nationwide crackdown on betting apps


The Enforcement Directorate has intensified its operations against illegal online gambling platforms amid concerns over:


Unregulated betting on cricket matches,


Potential match-fixing risks, and


Cross-border money laundering schemes.



What’s next in the investigation?


The ED continues to trace digital payment trails, endorsement contracts, and business associates connected to the betting app. More high-profile personalities may be summoned as investigators uncover deeper financial links.
