The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday (December 11, 2025) provisionally attached assets worth ₹117.41 crore belonging to Probo Media Technologies Private Limited and others in connection with an alleged online gambling platform case.
The attached properties include fixed deposits, investment in shares, demand drafts, bank balances in the name of the company and apartments or flats in the name of family members of its directors.
“Probo Media Technologies Pvt. Ltd. operates the application and website ‘Probo’, which provides platform for ‘online gambling’ in the guise of ‘online gaming’,” alleged the agency on Thursday, adding that it started investigations based on multiple cases registered against the company and others in Gurugram and Palwal in Haryana, and Agra in Uttar Pradesh.
The complainants alleged that they were dishonestly presented a scheme of earning money through simple “yes or no” questions while the scheme in reality promoted gambling in the guise of skill-based gaming.
According to the ED, the company cheated its users by falsely presenting itself as a skill-based gaming platform. “The criminal activities relating to the scheduled offences by the accused company through its directors or promoters led to the generation of ‘proceeds of crime’ to the tune of ₹1,245.64 crore (approx.). Pursuant to the promulgation of Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, ‘Probo’ has stopped its operation in August 2025,” it said.
Earlier, the ED had searched the premises of the company and its promoters in July 2025 and frozen investment in fixed deposits and shares amounting to ₹284.5 crore.
