ONLINE gaming platform Games24x7 will lay off nearly 300 employees and shut its Bengaluru office from September 6, following the Union government's recent ban on real money gaming platforms.
The ban was implemented through the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, passed in Parliament on August 22. A former employee, who had been working as an apprentice at the company, confirmed the closure and downsizing to TNIE. Games24x7 operates popular platforms such as RummyCircle and My11Circle.
