BCCI, Stop Pretending: Who’s Really Behind This Betting Drama?
So the Union cabinet just waved the Online Money Gaming Bill through. Dream11, MPL, and all those fantasy cricket apps where young fans risk their savings? Yeah, they’re “in the crosshairs.” But here’s the real tea—BCCI, the board that’s supposed to safeguard indian cricket, is the biggest hypocrite in the room.
For years, the Board watched fans pour money into these apps while patting itself on the back for “promoting cricket.” Now suddenly, it’s moral guardian? Newsflash: you helped create this mess. The jersey “deserves partners who love India, not those who bail at the drop of a rupee”? Cute line, BCCI. Too bad the organization was cozying up with the very companies exploiting the fans.
This isn’t just regulation—it’s BCCI saving its image while the real victims suffer. Millions of young players, hopeful dreamers, and debt-trapped fans? Their lives are collateral in the board’s PR playbook.
Here’s the harsh truth: until bcci admits its own role in this gambling circus, shutting down apps is just smoke and mirrors. The real scandal? The hypocrisy, the moral posturing, and the audacity to lecture while profiting from the chaos.
Cricket is India’s pride. The board running it? That’s apparently just another sideshow.
