ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has issued notices to FIA, SBP, PTA, and PEMRA after Barrister Imran Rashid exposed the growing threat of illegal online gambling in Pakistan. He revealed how gambling apps use digital wallets to bypass banking laws, enabling money laundering and financial fraud. Citing constitutional, legal, and Islamic prohibitions, Barrister Imran Rashid urged the court to ban these apps, block their advertisements on social media, and enforce strict financial controls. He argued that “the law is clear, the violations are undeniable, and the consequences are devastating.” This case could reshape Pakistan’s digital landscape and put an end to the unchecked rise of online gambling.
