Online Gaming Bill 2025 in Parliament
Online Gaming Bill 2025: The law prohibits advertisements and financial transactions for money games, sets up a new regulator for the sector, and exempts players from criminal liability.
Under the law, e-sports and social or educational online games will be recognised and promoted, while money-based online games will be banned outright.
It also seeks to prohibit advertisements related to online money games and bar banks and financial institutions from facilitating or transferring funds for any of such games. Online money games are played by depositing money in expectation of winning monetary and other rewards.
