To ban or not to ban?

A ban on online gaming involving money is interesting as it has been proposed not from a moralistic point of view but because it could lead to big losses for those involved. Gaming for money is a euphemism for gambling. Interestingly, gambling isn't totally banned in India. Lottery is still popular and legal in some states while gambling in casinos is permitted in others, as is horse racing. Gaming was banned in some southern states but flourished in others. Its size, according to market estimates, is upwards of ₹20,000 crore.
