Tiranga game

In recent months, a game often labelled as colour-prediction / colour-trading, associated with the name Tiranga Game (or “Tiranga colour trading”), has spread rapidly online in India. In its basic form, users bet small amounts on one of a few colours (for example red, green or violet), and if the colour they choose comes up they win a multiple of the bet. According to one description: “Select your colour: Red, Green, or Violet · Place a bet starting from just ₹10 · Win if your chosen colour appears in the results.” The term “colour trading” implies the game is framed as a kind of “investment” or “trading” in colours, but in reality, it functions like a simple bet-on-chance game with extremely high risk.
