Betting and gambling classification confirms all wager-based activities fall under state domain; only government-run lotteries are excluded. Betting and gambling form a single legal genus covering various wager-based activities, which fall within the State legislative domain under Entry 34 of the State List. Lotteries are treated as a distinct exception: only lotteries organised by the Central or a State Government are allocated to the Union List and thus excluded from the State List classification of betting and gambling; the exclusion depends on governmental organisation of the lottery rather than the activity's form.
