Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is investigating an alleged PKR120bn online gambling and suspicious financial transactions network. The case involves gaming websites, corporate bank accounts and digital payment channels.
The investigation, registered under FIR No. 32/2026 by the FIA Composite Circle in Faisalabad, has identified at least 10 online gaming and betting platforms, including U7777 Game, TD777 Game, 89F Game, EPIWIN, 1ee.com, 3rr.com, Z7.com, i8.fun, B9 Game and S9 Game.
The platforms allegedly offered real-money gaming, with player deposits collected through mobile wallets, banking services and other digital payment methods. Investigators are comparing several websites to establish whether similarities in their interfaces and operations indicate links between their developers or operators.
The alleged network also involved dummy commercial websites and companies registered for apparently legitimate activities. Corporate payment accounts obtained through these businesses were allegedly connected to gambling platforms.
FIA records show approximately 10.49 million transactions worth PKR8.6bn passed through five collection accounts. The wider investigation covers 11 companies that recorded PKR119.9bn in credit transactions and PKR118.8bn in debit transactions.
Eight companies registered to three individuals reportedly accounted for more than PKR105bn of the credit turnover.
Investigators are also examining whether cryptocurrency, including USDT, was used alongside unauthorised foreign exchange transactions and possible hawala or hundi arrangements.
The FIA is seeking to identify the individuals controlling the gaming platforms, beneficiaries of the transactions, financial intermediaries and any operators based outside Pakistan. Accounts belonging to the accused have been debit-locked, while authorities are working to identify associated properties and other assets.
Given the scale of the case, an FIA official has proposed establishing a joint investigation committee involving law enforcement, financial regulators and cybercrime investigators to examine the network and its potential international connections.
