India's Enforcement Directorate attaches ₹1,906 crore assets of Gameskraft amid real‑money rummy probe

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) provisionally attached assets worth ₹1,906 crore belonging to Gameskraft Technologies Pvt Ltd on July 22, 2026 under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act. This action raises the total value of assets seized, frozen or attached in the case to ₹2,401 crore. The attached assets include bank balances, fixed deposits, mutual funds, convertible notes, equity shares, a farmhouse and multiple residential and commercial properties held in the names of the company’s shareholders, their families and associated trusts.

Investigators allege that Gameskraft and related firm RummyTime Technologies operated the RummyCulture, RummyPrime, Playship and RummyTime apps, attracting roughly 3 crore users, primarily from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu—states where real‑money gaming is prohibited. The ED claims the platforms used automated bots to defeat players, charged a 10‑15 % commission on stakes, imposed 5‑10 % withdrawal fees and spent more than ₹1,035 crore on bonuses, referral offers and other promotional campaigns to lure users. The probe began after several FIRs were filed in Telangana; raids on the companies’ offices and directors’ residences in May‑June 2026 yielded documents and digital evidence supporting the money‑laundering investigation.
