India has officially enacted the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, imposing a nationwide ban on real-money online games, including poker, rummy, and fantasy sports. This decision follows alarming figures revealing that over 450 million users collectively lost nearly $2.3 billion annually through these platforms. Under the new law, offenders could face up to five years in prison for operating or participating in real-money games. However, e-sports, educational games, and social gaming formats remain permissible, ensuring the gaming culture continues in a safer format. Authorities emphasize this move as a step to protect users from financial exploitation while reshaping India’s digital gaming industry.
