FIA Shuts Down Over 100 Mobile Wallet Accounts Linked to Online Gambling

October 13, 2026 • 4 weeks ago •

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken decisive action by shutting down more than 100 aggregator accounts associated with a mobile wallet service, which were reportedly facilitating large-scale transactions linked to online gambling.

This crackdown comes as part of the FIA’s intensified efforts against illegal online gambling and digital financial misconduct. The agency’s recent notices prompted the mobile wallet provider to suspend these accounts, which had been under scrutiny for their involvement in significant financial activities.

The implications of this action are substantial, as it aims to curb the rising trend of online gambling in Pakistan, which poses risks not only to individual users but also to the broader financial system. Experts warn that such activities can lead to money laundering and other financial crimes, undermining the integrity of digital payment platforms.

Looking ahead, the FIA is expected to continue its investigations into other potential accounts and services that may be involved in similar activities. Stakeholders in the financial sector are urged to enhance their compliance measures to prevent misuse of digital wallets and ensure a secure online environment for users.
