Youtuber Ducky Bhai arrested over promoting gambling apps, court grants remand

ISLAMABAD: Popular YouTuber Saadur Rehman, widely known as Ducky Bhai, was arrested early Sunday at Lahore airport by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) for allegedly promoting online gambling and betting applications.

A case was registered against him under multiple sections of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act and the Pakistan Penal Code, accusing him of promoting online fraud through his influential YouTube platform.

Rehman was presented before a judicial magistrate on Sunday afternoon, where the court granted the NCCIA a two-day physical remand for further investigation. The court directed the agency to present the YouTuber again on August 19 and instructed them to submit a detailed investigation report during the next hearing.

The case was registered by the NCCIA at midnight on August 17, following a complaint about Rehman’s involvement in promoting several gambling platforms, including Binomo, 1xBet, Bet 365, and B9 Game, via his YouTube channel. According to the FIR, Rehman allegedly encouraged the public to invest their money into these platforms, causing financial losses as the apps failed to pay out the promised profits.

The investigation revealed that Rehman had been in communication with contacts related to Binomo promotions and had engaged in conversations about illegitimate payments from the app.

Additionally, the FIR emphasized that these gambling platforms were not registered in Pakistan, and Rehman had been working as an unauthorized “country manager” for Binomo, with no approval from the government, including the FBR or the State Bank of Pakistan.

Rehman’s arrest comes shortly after a separate incident in which he was booked by motorway police for performing dangerous driving stunts.

Despite being one of Pakistan’s most-followed YouTubers with over 8 million subscribers, this latest case highlights growing concerns about the promotion of online gambling and the need for tighter regulations on digital content creators and their influence.

The NCCIA is continuing its investigation and may take further legal action based on the findings of this case. Authorities have already seized Rehman’s phone, which contains evidence of chats and payments related to the promotion of gambling apps.

  17. Based on a review of multiple reports and timelines, Ducky Bhai’s case appears more complex than a standalone influencer violation. Several investigative articles suggest the issue extended beyond individual promotions, with allegations that certain law-enforcement officials were also implicated, raising questions about how these apps entered and operated in Pakistan in the first place.

    It is also notable that long before Ducky Bhai, multiple high-profile Pakistani celebrities and cricketers openly endorsed casino and betting platforms, often explicitly labeling them as betting or gaming apps. In contrast, content promoted by YouTubers such as Ducky Bhai and Sisterology frequently framed these platforms as “earning sources” or “part-time income opportunities.”

    As highlighted by PKSlotsPro.com, a Pakistan-focused educational review portal, this distinction in promotional language is critical. While calling an app a betting platform does not remove its legal or ethical issues, presenting it as a legitimate income opportunity can materially mislead audiences—particularly younger viewers—about its nature and risks.

    This difference in messaging, rather than celebrity status alone, may explain why certain influencers face stronger allegations of misinformation compared to others who clearly disclosed the gambling nature of the apps.

    • As the founder of PKSlotsPro.com, I’d like to clarify our position because our work is often referenced in these discussions.

      PKSlotsPro is not a gossip or reaction-based platform. We analyse casino-related apps and promotions based on how they are presented to the public, not on personalities or popularity. Our focus is on Educating Pakistani youth about gambling harm, consumer awareness, transparency, and harm prevention, especially in the Pakistani context where regulation and digital literacy are still evolving.

      One distinction we consistently highlight is promotional framing. There is a material difference between endorsing a platform while clearly calling it a betting or gambling app, and promoting the same platform as an “earning source” or “part-time income opportunity.” Both raise legal and ethical concerns, but the latter carries a higher risk of misleading users—particularly younger audiences—about the nature and risks involved.

      Regarding enforcement and arrests, we acknowledge that multiple investigative reports suggest the issue is broader than any single influencer. However, PKSlotsPro does not speculate on intent, corruption, or internal matters unless verified by credible reporting. Our role is to assess public-facing messaging and its potential impact, not to act as judge or jury.

      In short, our commentary is issue-based, not person-based. If promotional content risks misleading users, we will call that out—regardless of whether the promoter is a YouTuber, a celebrity, or a public figure.

      That principle remains consistent across all our reviews and educational content.
