The Online Gaming Bill 2025 bans all money-based online games, advertisements, and related financial transactions to curb fraud and addiction. Opposition staged protests, but the government said the move is for the “greater good” of society.
The Lok Sabha has approved the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, banning money-based online games while promoting e-sports, educational, and social gaming. The Bill also sets up a central authority to regulate and oversee the online gaming ecosystem in India.
