“If anyone is found betting through the electronic payment system, their bank accounts, mobile wallet and other online accounts will be suspended,” reads a public notice issued by the NRB.

Just on Monday, the police arrested two men including an Indian national on the charge of online betting. On November 18, police arrested over 20 people on the charge of being involved in online betting during a cricket match between Nepal and the United Arab Emirates played at the TU cricket ground.
