Live streaming of all sporting events can be accessed through FairPlay for the convenience of players who can “watch and win at the same time”, as stated on their website. The app is affiliated with Mahadev online gaming, which offers platforms for unauthorized betting on live games such as cricket, poker, badminton, tennis, football card games, and chance games. Last year, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor appeared in advertisements for this app and were later questioned by agencies like Enforcement Directorate (ED). Further scrutiny was initiated after a wedding in the UAE worth ₹200 crore was reportedly funded in cash through Mahadev’s services.
