Vijay Deverakonda team says he only supported skill games
on Mar 20, 2025
A case has been filed in Miyapur PS against Vijay Deverakonda for promoting Betting Apps. While TV celebrities and social media influencers are being questioned regarding the case, Vijay team released a press note clarifying that Vijay never supported betting.
They stated that he just acted as a brand ambassador for online skill-based games that too for a limited period of contract. They argued as the skill-based games are legally permitted in certain territories, they should not be misunderstood with gambling.
They further revealed that as Apex Court of India permitted online rummy, taking legal opinion, then only, Vijay agreed to promote A23. They stated that as the company is recognised as legal, his endorsement was lawful and not illegal. Currently, the actor is busy completing his commitment for his upcoming film, Kingdom.
Here's the complete PR document released by Vijay's team
This is to inform the public and all concerned parties that Mr. Vijay Deverakonda had officially entered into a contract with a company solely for the limited purpose of serving as a brand ambassador for skill-based games. His endorsement was strictly confined to regions and territories where online skill-based games are legally permitted.
It is important to clarify that skill-based games, including online games such as rummy, have been repeatedly recognized by the Honourable Supreme Court of India as distinct from gambling or gaming. The court has upheld that such games involve skill rather than chance, making them legally permissible.
Mr. Vijay Deverakonda’s legal team and agencies carefully review all associations before entering into any agreements. After a thorough legal review, he had agreed to endorse the skill-based gaming platform A23, ensuring that his association aligned with the law standards.
However, his endorsement term ended in 2023, and he is no longer associated with the brand. This press release is being issued to eliminate any misconceptions / misinformation and to emphasize that Mr. Vijay Deverakonda’s past endorsement of a legally recognized skill-based gaming company was completely lawful.
