Скачать или смотреть ndia’s Biggest Online Gaming Crackdown: Rs 505 Cr Frozen, WinZO Founders Arrested

India’s online gaming industry just witnessed one of its biggest enforcement actions.

The Enforcement Directorate has frozen over ₹520 crore linked to real-money gaming platforms WinZO and Gameskraft.
WinZO takes the biggest hit with ₹505 crore frozen across bank accounts, deposits, funds, and bonds — tied to allegations of:

• KYC misuse
• Cheating & impersonation
• Allowing foreign players after the RMG ban
• Withholding ₹43 crore owed to gamers
• Diverting funds to overseas entities, including a US-based company

The ED has also arrested WinZO’s founders as part of the investigation.

Gameskraft faces a parallel probe, with ₹18.6 crore frozen for suspected collusion, manipulated gameplay, and blocked payouts on platforms like Pocket52.

All of this comes under the Online Gaming Regulation Act 2025, which is reshaping the gaming sector with tighter compliance and stricter oversight.

This crackdown sends a clear message:
India’s gaming ecosystem is now entering a stricter regulatory phase.
