Senior Rajasthan Royals official, Deep Roy, strongly refuted the allegations, emphasizing the detrimental impact they have had on the franchise's credibility. In a statement to Live Mint, he expressed his frustration, stating: "We reject all allegations made by the convener of the ad hoc committee. Such public statements are not only misleading but have caused serious damage to the reputation and credibility of Rajasthan Royals, Royal Multi Sport Private Limited (RMPL), the Rajasthan Sports Council, and the BCCI. They also tarnish the integrity of cricket."

In 2015, Rajasthan Royals were suspended from the league for two years due to the involvement of their key officials in betting activities during the 2013 edition of the tournament. As a result, the team did not participate in the 2016 and 2017 editions.
