Though the betting apps are banned, nearly 1000 people have lost their lives due to them, in both Telugu states. The police have taken the issue seriously as many invested money in apps promoted by film stars.

Though some ads had been released a few years back, the damage they did to Telugu people is really concerning. While the actors maintain that they didn’t know about the repercussions, they did influence gullible audiences.

Apart from suicides, many families have seen financial ruin due to the apps. In some cases, entire families committed suicides due to debts.
