It’s a jungle out there. And there’s so much confusion in the minds of people that it’s a nightmare at times figuring what’s legal, what’s not; what’s ‘approved’, what’s not.

At one point, I myself was left in total confusion about the space. It’s a mess.
There are platforms approved by the courts in the country. There are platforms that aren’t.
That bit is absolutely clear.

Confusion is beginning to emerge largely because of one reason: Platforms that don’t have the necessary approvals are piggy-backing platforms that have the approvals. In that lies the whole mess.

#onlinegaming is fun, fast-paced, and fairly cheap. However, the temptation of thousands of gaming machines available right at your screen and now in your mobile device can quickly pull you in and have you playing unreasonable amounts, spending large sums.

We've investigated certain features of these auto-renewing subscriptions.
Specifically, how easy it was to turn off auto-renewal, whether it was clear upfront that contracts would auto-renew, and if people hadn't realised they were still paying for services they no longer used.

#BREAKING: #MadrasHighCourt strikes down in its entirety the amendment to the Tamil Nadu Gaming Act which banned online games including online rummy and online poker with stakes. #onlinegaming
Court says that by imposing a wide-ranging, complete ban, the amendment has failed the least intrusive test and fallen afoul of Article 19 (1) (g) of the Constitution. Court says the challenged amendment was capricious, irrational, excessive and disproportionate
#MadrasHighCourt
#MadrasHighCourt
Court adds that the doctrine of severability is also not applicable since the amended definition of gaming runs throughout the Act. Court concludes the amending Act is disproportionate to the object and ultra vires the Constitution.
