THE HC RULING REINFORCES STATE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE ONLINE GAMING AND COULD SET A PRECEDENT FOR OTHER STATES GRAPPLING

- Ayesha Arvind

BENGALURU: The Madras high court on Tuesday upheld the constitutional validity of Tamil Nadu's online gaming regulations, which include Aadhaar-based verification, a midnight-to-5am gaming ban, and prohibition of minors from participating, dismissing petitions by gaming companies and ruling that the right to privacy is not absolute when weighed against public health concerns.

A division bench of Justices S.M. Subramaniam and K. Rajasekar said the Tamil Nadu Online Gaming Authority (Real Money Games) Regulations, 2025, were reasonable restrictions aimed at curbing gaming addiction.

The ruling reinforces state authority to regulate online gaming and could set a precedent for other states grappling with potential addiction and negative social consequences associated with real money games. The court held that the state was well within its legislative competence to enact the law in the interest of public health, public order, and regulation of trade and commerce.
