TFG hits it out of the park with their “Tukka nahi chakka maro” campaign ahead of IPL 2023
Fantasy gaming platform TFG launches campaign, “Tukka nahi Chakka maro” featuring brand ambassador Deepak Chahar ahead of the IPL. He will look to connect, engage and onboard users given his fan base of over 5 million on social media platforms this IPL season. The platform will compete with the likes of Dream11, Playerzpot and Ashneer Grover’s latest CrickPe.
CSK star Deepak Chahar recently launched the app for the fantasy game TFG. The venture marks his debut in the entrepreneurial space as the co-founder along with wife Jaya Chahar who serves as the CEO of JCDC Sports Pvt. Ltd. The sports-tech platform was established in March 2022 and is headquartered in Delhi.
TFG is particularly designed to make users win more rewards. The contests will not only give away more cash winnings to users who level up player cards on the platform but also give a chance to users to meet and greet with brand ambassador Deepak Chahar, watch an IPL match and win exciting personalised prizes and much more.
The campaign will roll out across all social media platforms. TFG has unique offerings like 6-a-side teams, a wildcard feature, digital collectible cards that level up as you play and much more.
The campaign will feature the CSK star in 3 DVCs (Digital Video Content), where Deepak Chahar will be seen across different scenarios, with the tagline “Tukka nahi chakka maro” encouraging viewers to make educated and informed choices.
Discussing the campaign Deepak Chahar said, “Cricket and entertainment have always gone hand in hand in our country. We at TFG are trying to make skill-based online gaming, the next big thing in the sports entertainment industry.”
Jaya Chahar mentioned, “In a cricket loving nation like India, fantasy sports has become a way of life, where we see exponential growth.”
“We have kept in mind the entry fee sweet spot for fantasy players and sports viewers and designed the contests for all to benefit. Now TFG users can level up by making more teams and this will give them the winnings they deserve with the thrill of game play” she added.
With the “Tukka nahi chakka maro!” campaign, TFG is ready to make India’s cricket festival a bigger celebration.

Uzbekistan Introduces Penalties for Illegal Gambling Operations

Uzbekistan has introduced strict penalties for illegal gambling operations as the country prepares to launch its regulated betting market on October 9, 2025.
The new penalties target both domestic and foreign operators offering gambling services without a license. The new rules authorise fines indexed to the Uzbek Base Calculation Unit (BRV), a fiscal benchmark used for administrative penalties.
Foreign firms face fines of up to 25,000 Base Calculation Units, around US$882,000. Authorities can also seize illegal earnings, block access to banking and internet services, and ban repeat offenders from the Uzbek financial system. Unauthorised physical casinos, betting shops and mobile terminals will face the same sanctions.
Violations of anti-money laundering rules or personal data misuse carry fines of 15,000 BRV (about US$529,200), and unlicensed deposit-taking could result in penalties of up to US$352,900.
The changes were drafted by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP), which is overseeing the rollout of Uzbekistan’s new gambling law. NAPP will act as the interim regulator until a permanent authority is established.
Licensed operators must meet strict financial requirements. Online gambling firms need authorised capital of $4.57 million and a $2.05 million reserve fund. Lottery providers must show at least $1.64 million in capital and $1.11 million in reserves.
“This is not a pay-to-play regime. It’s a compliance-first market that will reward transparency and capital discipline,” NAPP has clarified in communications with potential applicants.
Gambling has been banned in Uzbekistan since 2007, except for limited state-run lotteries. The new system marks a shift from prohibition to strict regulation. A centralised system, the Unified State Register of Bets and Players (USRBP), will track all wagers and enforce ID checks and monthly betting limits.
Sanctions will be issued by NAPP’s director after internal review. Offending companies will have 15 days to appeal through NAPP or the courts. Half of all fines will go to the state budget; the rest will fund regulatory operations. Paying fines does not shield companies from further legal action.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the new framework in 2024, requiring that gambling revenue be used to fund national sports programmes. Licensing guidelines will be released soon, with applications opening before the October launch.
