It is illegal to bet or gamble in most parts of the country. Online gaming platforms are intermediaries and must follow the rules of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000.
“MeitY regulates all intermediaries in accordance with the IT Act and its rules. Online gaming platforms are illegal when they offer games of chance,” he explained.
Chandrasekhar said the states and union territories are primarily responsible for preventing, detecting, investigating, and prosecuting crimes through their Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) because ‘police’ and ‘public order’ are state subjects.
