Indian Supreme Court Mulling Online Gambling Case

20 August 2014 by Dustin Jermalowicz

This story was published more than 8 years ago.

The Indian Supreme Court is currently debating a case brought by several online betting firms which could decide the country's stance on allowing the act.

The Supreme Court is deciding whether or not games of skill that accept stakes online fall within India's current betting laws, or are to be treated the same as casino games, which are outlawed in the country of 1.2 billion.

Games affected by the decision include Poker and Rummy, which are both popular among players in India. Even though gambling is restricted by law, online gambling is estimated to be worth $10 billion annually.

The legal battle for the games is being waged by operators such as Play Games 24x7 and Head Infotech india, which both put out online rummy websites.

Casino Listings will update this story as more developments arise.
