Rajiv Adatia calls for Ban on Betting Apps: "Is it worth ruining lives for money?"

Rajiv Adatia has voiced his strong opposition to celebrities and influencers promoting betting and online gaming apps. In a recent Instagram reel, he expressed deep concern over the harmful impact these platforms have on young people and their families.

Referring to a distressing video he came across, Rajiv said, "I saw a father trying to save his son, who was attempting suicide after losing a lot of money on betting apps. This is the reality of these platforms. Families are being destroyed, and yet influencers continue to promote them."

He criticized public figures who endorse these apps solely for financial gain, stating, "You are misleading people into thinking this is a way to make money. But in reality, it traps them in a cycle of debt and despair. The consequences of this kind of promotion will come back as karma."

Rajiv highlighted how easily fans trust celebrities, making them more vulnerable to such endorsements. "People believe in their favorite stars. If they see them promoting something, they assume it must be safe. But these apps are nothing more than a scam."

He further urged influencers to reconsider their choices, saying, "Is it worth ruining lives for money? Is it worth betraying the trust of those who support you?" Rajiv strongly advocated for a complete ban on these platforms, not just in India but worldwide.

His bold stance has sparked discussions online, with many agreeing that gambling apps should not be promoted by public figures. Rajiv’s message serves as a reminder that influence comes with responsibility, and endorsing harmful platforms can have devastating real-world consequences.
