Vijay Deverakonda’s team issues statement on illegal betting app case

A day after Hyderabad police registered a case against actor Vijay Deverakonda for allegedly promoting online betting apps, the actor’s PR team issued a statement on Thursday, March 20 denying involvement in illegal betting apps.

They clarified that Vijay Deverakonda’s endorsement contract ended in 2023 and that he



only associated with recognised skill-based gaming platforms, not games of chance.

According to the statement issued, Deverakonda had signed a contract with a company solely to promote skill-based gaming platforms in regions where they are legally permitted. His legal team ensured compliance before entering into the agreement.
