Gambling Laws And Regulations In India, 2023
Gambling is a popular pastime all over the world, and it's no different in India. In fact, gambling is so popular in India that it has its own legal framework. This covers everything from casino games of chance, such as slots, roulette, and blackjack, to social/skill gaming activities, such as bingo and keno.
Each state in India has its own laws governing gambling, for example, in Goa, Daman and Diu these activities are regulated under the Goa, Daman and Diu Public Gambling Act 1976 while in Sikkim they are governed by the Sikkim Casinos (Controls and Tax) Act 2002.
