Lottery operations in Andhra Pradesh are currently illegal under state law. The Andhra Pradesh government banned all forms of lottery in the state through the Andhra Pradesh Gaming （Amendment） Act, which prohibits the sale and distribution of lottery tickets within the state boundaries.
In India, lottery regulations vary by state, with some states like Kerala, Punjab, and West Bengal operating legal state lotteries. However, Andhra Pradesh has maintained a strict prohibition on lottery activities to prevent gambling-related issues and protect citizens from potential financial losses.
While online lottery platforms may be accessible from Andhra Pradesh, participating in such activities from within the state remains illegal. The ban applies to both physical lottery ticket sales and online lottery participation originating from Andhra Pradesh territory. |
