ED Raids Rajasthan Network Behind Joganiya Betting App

ED Raids Rajasthan Locations Linked to Joganiya Online Betting App Network

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a series of coordinated raids across multiple locations in Rajasthan as part of a major money-laundering investigation tied to the Joganiya online betting application, a platform suspected of facilitating large-scale illegal betting activities and routing proceeds through complex financial channels.

Authorities believe the betting app operated through a network of handlers responsible for onboarding users, distributing betting IDs, collecting stake money, and moving illicit funds across states using both traditional and digital channels.

What the ED Found in the Searches

During the operations, officials reportedly seized:

• Mobile devices used for user registration and bet management

• Laptops containing transaction logs and digital ledgers

• Cash suspected to be collections from local bettors

• Records of bank accounts used for layering and fund movement

• Documents linking individuals to the financial backend of the application

Preliminary examination of the digital material indicates the existence of structured teams responsible for customer management, payment processing, and settlement of winnings - all conducted outside legal gambling frameworks.

How the Betting Network Operated

Investigators believe the Joganiya app functioned through a decentralized model:

1. Local agents created and sold betting IDs to players.

2. Payments were collected via UPI, bank transfers, and sometimes in cash.

3. Funds were layered across multiple accounts to obscure the money trail.

4. Organizers allegedly converted large volumes of earnings into digital assets and cash for redistribution.

The network is suspected of handling high-value transactions daily, violating anti-money-laundering norms and state gambling laws.

Financial Trail Under Scrutiny

The ED is now tracking:

• Bank accounts used to receive deposits from bettors

• Entities suspected of moving funds between states

• Potential use of prepaid wallets and shell accounts

• Connections to individuals managing the app’s backend infrastructure

Officials are also examining whether the proceeds were invested in real estate, vehicles, or other assets to disguise their unlawful origins.

Possible Violations

The investigation is focused on potential offences under:

• Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)

• State laws governing betting and gambling

• Fraud and cheating provisions under the Indian Penal Code

• Violations involving unauthorized digital payment channels

If evidence confirms the routing of illegal earnings, attachment of properties and freezing of accounts may follow.

What Happens Next

More summons are expected as the ED prepares to question key individuals associated with the betting app.
The agency may extend its operations to other states if financial links or supporting networks emerge from digital or financial analysis.

Officials are also mapping linkages between local operators and suspected masterminds who may be operating from outside Rajasthan.
