K’taka to introduce bill permitting online bets on horse races
Hindustan Times Amritsar
|November 20, 2025
The Karnataka government is preparing to introduce a bill that would permit licensed online betting on horse-racing events, a move the state says will expand the popularity of digital wagering at race clubs across India.
The legislation, which amends the Karnataka Race Courses Licensing Act of 1952, is scheduled to be placed before the legislature during the winter session beginning December 8.
State officials said the proposal follows practices already in place at race clubs in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Maharashtra and West Bengal. According to the government, the amendments are intended to align Karnataka with “the current trend of expanding exposure to racing events,” while creating a legal framework for online wagering in the state.
