The looming legal clash is expected to test whether New Delhi can override states in regulating a sector long considered a state subject.

The Union cabinet cleared the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which seeks a complete ban on any game involving money on Tuesday. The bill prohibits not only play but also payments and advertising for services like fantasy sports apps Dream11 and My11Circle, online rummy platforms RummyCulture and RummyCircle, besides casual games such as Pool Champs and Online Carrom.
