You might have noticed during PSL matches that 1XBAT appears on Karachi King’s jersey and in advertisements. The team Multan is sponsored by Wolfnews, which is actually a renamed version of a betting website. Additionally, Dafa News, which is one of the main sponsors of PSL, is quite similar to Dafabet. It’s worth noting that all the teams in the league are sponsored by betting websites.
Here is the list:
- MCW Sports- QG (BJ Sports Quetta sponsor)
- Melbat- LQ
- Wolf777- MS
- 1xBAT- KK
- DafaNews- PSL (Dafa News = Dafa Bet)

I am surprised as to why is PTA allowing it.

Much like Kerry Packer who was an Australian media magnate who created World Series Cricket (WSC) in the late 1970s. There were also allegations of corruption during this time, with reports of players being paid extra money to underperform on the field.
