Tamil Nadu Cabinet approves the law to ban online gaming
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has approved an Ordinance to ban online gaming in the state. The ordinance would be publicized in the state after getting the Tamil Nadu governor’s approval.
The move comes as the Supreme Court begins hearing a petition by the Tamil Nadu government challenging a Madras High Court decision that repeal the previous AIADMK-led government’s 2020 ban on online games involving the transfer of money. In an order issued in August, the state high court declared it unconstitutional.
In September, the Supreme Court issued notice to all of the petition’s respondents, including skill-based gaming companies Junglee Games, Play Games24x7, Head Digital Works, and industry body All India Gaming Federation, giving them four weeks to file their responses, with the case expected to be listed in 10 weeks. Since then, the Supreme Court has added a similar petition by the Karnataka government to the matter.
Skill-based real money gaming has been banned or attempted to be banned by several state governments, including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Karnataka because gambling is a state subject. According to industry executives, South India is a particularly important market for skill-based games such as Rummy, which has a significant penetration in these states.
