#BuzzQ: India’s Online Gaming Gets a New Rulebook
The Government of India has introduced a bill to regulate real-money gaming, bringing in mandatory licensing, stricter KYC, betting restrictions, and higher GST slabs.
Fantasy Sports giants like Dream11, MPL, My11Circle, Poker & Rummy platforms such as Adda52, Spartan Poker, PokerBaazi, A23, RummyCircle, and casual real-money gaming players like WinZO, Zupee, Ludo Supreme are now navigating a landscape where compliance is key.
Together, these companies have attracted global investors and millions of Indian users. For players, this could mean safer play but fewer options and higher costs. For companies and investors, the impact could reshape strategies and market growth.
Is this the right step towards responsible gaming, or will it slow down India’s gaming boom?
