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.

- SANAL SUDEVAN @ Chennai

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.
