SEBI warns investors against unauthorised virtual trading, gaming platforms offering stock price-based advice

Live Mint  

The Securities and Exchange Board of India on Monday cautioned investors about unauthorised virtual trading and gaming platforms that provide trading advice based on stock prices. “By mimicking securities market activities and promising financial returns, many of these platforms can create an unauthorised trading experience that often leads to investor exploitation,” said Sumit Agrawal, founder of Regstreet Law and former SEBI officer. “Participation in unauthorised schemes, including sharing of confidential and personal trading data, is at the investors’ own risk, cost and consequences, as such schemes/platforms are not registered with SEBI,” the regulator said. “SEBI is issuing this caution, advising investors to not engage with or undertake investment or trading activities through un-registered intermediaries/ web applications/ platforms/apps,” it added.
