Will contest Tamil Nadu’s online gambling ban in court: Gaming companies

The E-gaming Federation, a collective of online gaming operators, is set to take the Tamil Nadu Government to court on a law banning online gambling and proposing regulation for online gaming.

An EGF statement said the state law – the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Online Gambling and Regulation of Online gaming Act, 2022 – recognises rummy and poker as games of chance, a position overturned in judgments from the Supreme Court, and the Madras High Court which had set aside an earlier amendment to the Tamil Nadu gaming law to prohibit online games involving stake.
