Center: New rules for online gaming, puts ban on betting

On Thursday, the government issued new rules for online gaming that prohibit any game that involves betting or wagering and include a framework of multiple self-regulatory organizations.

New online gaming rules will apply to online games that involve wagering or betting, according to Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar. There will be multiple SROs, and all stakeholders, including but not limited to the industry, will participate in these SROs.

In a statement Chandrasekhar said that “We are dealing with a framework which allows for all online gaming to be determined as permissible or not, by an SRO and there will be multiple SROs.”

The simple principle of whether wagering is involved will be used to determine permissibility, and “if wagering is involved, the SRO will be able to say that those online games are not permissible.”
