Update: 2025-09-01
Description
Last month, the Rajya Sabha passed a bill that effectively shut down India’s real-money gaming industry, once projected to reach 9 billion dollars by 2029. The law brings sweeping bans and strict penalties for both platforms and celebrities who promote such games. In this episode, The Indian Express’ Soumyarendra Barik takes us through the details of the bill and what it means for the industry’s future.
And later in the episode, we also speak with The Indian Express’ Anonna Dutt about the risks of gambling addiction, its impact on people’s lives, and the resources available to seek help (25:16 ).
