In India, the legal status of operating online casinos is complex and varies by state. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits running or being in charge of a public gambling house, but it does not explicitly address online gambling. Some states like Sikkim and Goa have legalized certain forms of gambling, while others strictly prohibit it. The Information Technology Act of 2000 also does not specifically regulate online casinos. Therefore, operating an online casino in India is generally considered illegal in most states, but there are exceptions and ongoing legal debates. |
