The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which was earlier passed by both Houses of Parliament, received the Presidential assent on Friday. It imposes a blanket ban on all real money gaming, regardless of whether the games are based on skill or chance.

WinZO, which has over 250 million users and hosts 100+ games in 15 languages, said it was "responsibly withdrawing impacted offerings effective August 2025 in compliance with the new law." The platform, which positioned itself as an "alternative to app-store monopolies," has attracted global investors, including Kalaari Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, and Steve Pagliuca, co-chair of Bain Capital and owner of the Boston Celtics.
