The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 has now been passed in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, marking the establishment of India’s first comprehensive national-level framework for the rapidly growing online gaming ecosystem.
This landmark legislation seeks to strike the right balance-fostering innovation and structured industry growth on one hand, while prohibiting money gaming practices that pose risks to financial integrity, consumer protection, and public health on the other.
A defining moment for the future of online gaming in India-creating a stronger, safer, and more sustainable environment for players, developers, and the industry at large.
