The Rajasthan state government is going to ban online gambling and betting.

The state government will bring a bill in the ongoing assembly session to make online gambling a cognisable offence and introduce strict penal provisions including a jail term and steep fines.

The Rajasthan Public Gambling (Prevention) Bill 2021 has strict provisions to stop online gambling and betting. Those who run gambling dens and those who gamble are also being brought within the ambit of the new law.
