Govt to regulate online betting, gaming sectors
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|April 10, 2025
The government is preparing to introduce new legislation aimed at regulating online gambling and betting platforms, in a move that seeks to curb fraudulent practices and support the legal gaming sector, said senior cabinet ministers on Wednesday.
BENGALURU:
Home minister G Parameshwara announced on Wednesday that a committee comprising senior officials and industry stakeholders has been formed to draft the proposed law.
"I chaired a meeting regarding online betting and gambling along with the IT Minister. Representatives from the industry were called. There is nothing to regulate them so far. They have agreed to the introduction of a licence system and a regulation as per law," Parameshwara told reporters in Mandya. The committee has been given a month to submit the draft bill.
Once the draft is ready, the government plans to bring in a new law that draws on regulatory models like that of Chhattisgarh, which differentiates between gambling and skill-based gaming, he said.
