Bet Free Pakistan Movement (BFPM) is a grassroots civic organization committed to eliminating illegal online gambling, casino fraud, and digital financial exploitation across Pakistan. We work to uncover hidden networks of betting operators, expose financial flows tied to gambling activity, and pressure financial institutions to block associated accounts and digital wallets.
Our Purpose
We are not just fighting a digital crime — we are fighting for social stability, financial integrity, and the future of countless families torn apart by addiction, debt, and manipulation through illegal gambling platforms. Our core objective is to make Pakistan a gambling-free nation by dismantling the infrastructure that enables this multi-billion rupee underground industry.
Why It Matters
Illegal gambling is not a victimless crime. It fuels:
- Money laundering
- Financial fraud
- Cybercrime
- Family breakdowns and mental health issues
Gambling platforms often operate under the radar using complex digital systems — fake merchant accounts, hidden wallet networks, and social media advertising. Our work disrupts that infrastructure.
Our Vision
A Pakistan where digital finance is safe, clean, and free from exploitative gambling systems. A nation where families are not destroyed by addiction. A future where financial systems serve the people — not underground criminal networks.
We are a decentralized yet organized volunteer network of:
- Financial analysts
- Ethical hackers
- Lawyers and compliance officers
- Journalists and media professionals
- Everyday citizens
What We Do
Wallet & Transaction Monitoring
We identify, document, and analyze financial accounts, wallets, and digital payment channels used by online gambling operators. We maintain an internal database of suspicious financial entities that are involved in illegal betting, both domestically and via international platforms.
Official Complaint Filing
We submit detailed, evidence-based complaints to banks, e-wallet providers (JazzCash, Easypaisa, etc.), fintech platforms, and regulators such as:
- State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)
- Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)
- Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA)
- Our goal is to push for account freezes, wallet bans, and permanent blacklisting of fraudulent financial actors.
Public Awareness & Education
Through articles, social media, and educational campaigns, we inform the public about the risks of online gambling, deceptive investment games, and disguised betting apps. We work to prevent new victims from falling into the trap.
Advocacy & Legal Support
We work with lawyers, compliance professionals, and civil society leaders to lobby for stronger anti-gambling regulations, enforcement actions, and legislative reforms.
