Amendment to the IT Rules, 2021
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has released an amendment to the IT Rules, 2021, to regulate "online real money games”.
- The I&B Ministry objected to recent instances of mainstream English and Hindi newspapers carrying such advertisements and warned of legal action for non-compliance.
- MeitY's amendment to the IT Rules requires real money gaming platforms to register with a self-regulatory body (SRB) to determine whether the game is "permissible."
- Three SRBs will be recognized soon.
- Games that are not deemed "permissible" may not get protection under the amendment, and states may take action against them for being gambling or betting platforms.
