India could keep the online rummy ban

Card games in India, as well as other gambling modalities, could still be punished under current legislation
Online gaming modality in India is strictly prohibited across the country, although operators have been offering certain platforms allowing residents to participate in different betting games. However, the operations were closed by the government in the last few months, opening a legal fight against local and international companies.
According to Times of India, the Telangana cabinet met a few days ago to approve three bills, one of which involves the prohibition of online rummy. It is understood that the bills are likely to be introduced in the legislative assembly session that is set to begin on October 27.
Online skill games in the state will still be banned. A bench headed by Justice Madan B lokur refused to hear a plea that challenged the validity of three state laws that ban online rummy. Gambling in India has faced several restrictions and online rummy has been one of the recipients of the hurdles.
Last month, it was revealed that the Gujarat High Court would deliver its judgement regarding the legality of poker in India on November 23. Discussions were started in September in order to decide whether poker is a game of skill or not. The results are set to have major impact on online and offline poker operations in the Asian country. The clubs that petitioned the legality of poker claimed that if the ruling is negative, they will immediately challenge the decision.
