<h1>Regulation of online real money gaming proposed, citing public health and financial crime risks and enabling blocking powers.</h1> A Central bill proposes to regulate online gaming by targeting platforms offering real money gaming, highlighting public health harms and risks of money laundering, fraud and cybercrime as justifications. The measure complements state competence over illegal betting and gambling, recent judicial recognition of state authority to ban real money games, and administrative enforcement through IT and IGST frameworks, including powers for the Directorate General of GST Intelligence to direct intermediaries to block unregistered or offshore online money gaming platforms and regulatory coverage of suppliers under the IGST Act.
