Best to open from the web by opening the image in a new tab.

(1) Back-end sponsor of PSL is Dafa News/ Dafa Bet owned by AsianLogic Ltd alias Sportserve, headquartered in Malta. Founder/ CEO Chi Kan Tang is Hong Kong-origin business person of Canadian nationality and multiple biz interests in Australia and Philippines.

(2) Back-end sponsor of Quetta Gladiators is MCW Sports and bj sports, BOTH are actually owned by Aurora Holdings N.V., an offshore company regd in Curaçao with a proxy beneficiary of Polish nationality and another entity linked to multiple multi-natl indls and entities.

(3) Back-end sponsor of Lahore Qalandars is Melbet/ Melbat, owned by Pelican Entertainment B.V., an offshore company regd in Curaçao linked to a Cypriot company managed by a front person believed to be of Ukrainian nationality.

(4) Back-end sponsor of Multan Sultans is Wolf 777, owned by GIT Operations N.V., offshore company regd in Curaçao with affiliate in UK managed by a Nepali front person.

(5) Back-end sponsor of Karachi Kings is 1xBet owned by 4 x Russian natls, three of whom were blacklisted by Bryansk branch of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for fraud worth millions, escaped and took Cypriot nationality...

1xBet was initially managed through offshore company 1x Corp N.V. in Curaçao but was dissolved and later the base shifted to Nigeria, where the same dubious Russian businessmen setup Beaufortbet Nigeria Ltd, managed to get a govt license and appointed domestic front persons.

One of the board members of Beaufortbet Nigeria Ltd is the rep of a Cypriot entity 'Appari Ltd'. One Nigerian front person is a renowned tax consultant with former service in Nigerian govt (helpful for connections).

ACOM Latin America N.V. in Curaçao is one of the billing agents for 1xBet, regd in the name of a British lady linked to multiple UK entities and another offshore company of Curaçao named Capital Trust Corporation N.V.

Another billing agent Exidna Enterprises Ltd is regd in Cyprus.

1xBet also operates discreetly in India with domain names and platforms fronted by Rarefox Pvt Ltd regd in Delhi (linked further to Asimpletrans Fintech Pvt Ltd) and Shreya Software Technology Pvt Ltd regd in Patna, Bihar which is now dissolved.

Navasard Ltd in Cyprus holds trademark rights and legal stakes for the 1xBet brand.

Known operational jurisdictions of sponsors for PSL and 4 franchises:-

• Malta🇲🇹
• Philippines🇵🇭
• UAE🇦🇪
• Seychelles🇸🇨
• Spain🇪🇸
• UK🇬🇧
• Cyprus🇨🇾
• India🇮🇳
• Curaçao🇨🇼/ Netherlands🇳🇱
• Nigeria🇳🇬
• Bangladesh🇧🇩

If I can sit at home and get this much without spending a dime on paid investigations, pretty sure the state machinery funded by taxpayers can do a better job in digging further and identify local liaison persons and facilitators between PSL/ 4 franchises and these companies.

The entire vetting process for marketing in PSL is under question. If stakeholders were duped so easily by deceptive fronts, their incompetence is exemplary. I strongly suspect insider involvement.
