India’s ED froze ₹192 crore from WinZO’s ZO Games over alleged money laundering via rigged real-money games.
The Enforcement Directorate has frozen ₹192 crore in assets linked to ZO Games, a subsidiary of online gaming platform WinZO, in a money laundering investigation.
The freeze, executed on December 30, 2025, targeted bank balances, fixed deposits, and mutual funds following raids at WinZO’s accounting firm.
The ED alleges WinZO used AI-powered bots to manipulate real-money games without informing users, generating about ₹802 crore in illicit proceeds between 2022 and 2025, including ₹177 crore from bot-player matches in 2024–2025.
The agency also claims ₹43 crore in user funds were withheld despite a government ban on real-money gaming and that $54 million was routed overseas via a U.S. shell company.
Co-founders Saumya Singh Rathore and Paavan Nanda were arrested, with Rathore granted bail and Nanda denied.
The probe remains ongoing.
