THE government plans to criminalise the offering or promotion of online money gaming and make it an offence for banks, financial institutions or individuals to facilitate fund transfers related to such activities.
A bill to regulate the online gaming industry by prohibiting online money gaming was approved by the Cabinet on Tuesday and is expected to be introduced in the Lok Sabha tomorrow. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 seeks to regulate the sector by promoting e-sports and online social games while banning online money gaming.
The Bill also prohibits advertisements for money gaming platforms and prescribes penalties and fines for violations, with stricter punishment for repeat offenders. It prohibits offering, aiding, abetting, inducing or otherwise in the offering of any online money gaming service and declares it as an offence. Authorities will also be empowered to block access to prohibited games and seize related property to ensure compliance.
