Big Daddy Casino Group has released an official statement addressing recent media reports following Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigations that took place in late September.
The company clarified that no illegal assets were seized from any of its properties and rejected claims linking it to online gambling operations.
According to the group, the ED's activities spanned 15 locations across Goa, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Rajkot. Of these, only four were associated with the company - its two operational casinos, Big Daddy Casino and Strike Casino, and two corporate offices located in Goa and Gurugram.
Big Daddy Casino Group said: "We categorically clarify that no cryptocurrency, foreign currency, or illegal funds were seized from any of our properties."
The company added that any media reports suggesting otherwise were "factually incorrect."
The group further explained that the enforcement action included multiple, unrelated entities, and any reported seizures occurred at separate premises unconnected to their operations.
Addressing additional speculation, the group denied operating any form of online casino, stating that its activities are limited to licensed, land-based casinos in Goa.
It emphasized that if any individual - current or former employee - has engaged with online gambling platforms, they did so independently and without company authorization.
The company said: "We object to any attempts to link our operations with illegal online gambling or cryptocurrency activities."
The statement follows growing scrutiny over India's gaming and betting sectors. Earlier this month, the Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change (CASC) submitted a plea to India's Supreme Court seeking enhanced enforcement against illegal gambling websites, particularly those disguised as esports or social gaming platforms.
The court has since confirmed the matter will undergo further review as the government considers tighter national regulation of online wagering and gaming activities.
Elsewhere, India's Supreme Court recently accepted a plea calling for stricter regulations on online gambling and esports, labelling the issue "an important matter" for review.
