In India, gambling activities including casinos are largely prohibited under the Public Gambling Act of 1867. This colonial-era law makes operating or visiting a gambling house illegal across most parts of the country. However, some states like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman have legalized casinos under specific regulations to promote tourism.
Local Indian gaming products have evolved to comply with these restrictions. Traditional games like Teen Patti and Rummy are often played socially or through skill-based gaming platforms that are legally permitted. Many Indian companies have developed online gaming apps that focus on skill-based games rather than chance-based gambling to avoid legal issues.
The Indian government maintains strict control over gambling activities to protect citizens from financial harm and addiction. Recent years have seen increased enforcement against illegal offshore gambling websites targeting Indian players. Authorities regularly block such platforms and take legal action against operators violating Indian gambling laws. |
