Is online gaming legal in India after the 2025 Act?

Online money games, in which users pay or stake money in the expectation of winning money or other rewards, are prohibited under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which came into force on 1 May 2026. So are their advertisement and the processing of payments for them. E-sports and online social games that involve no stakes remain lawful, and the Act provides for their promotion.
