Cricket Betting: IPL Betting Rumpus In India

11 May 2009

IPL Rumpus

IPL organisers are defending themselves against government accusations that the IPL event in South Africa was "encouraging gambling and betting."

Sports minister Manohar Singh Gill was critical of the 6UP mobile phone SMS competition in which players can win cash prizes for correctly guessing the sequence of runs scored in the subsequent over of the match.

"I see the commercial use of cricket for business gains that is going on," Gill, a former federal chief election commissioner, said in a statement.

A spokesman for the BCCI, Rajiv Shukla, said: "SMS games are there in every sport all over the world. If there is any report of gambling within the game, we will look into it."
