The Tamil Nadu government has announced a committee that will make recommendations towards an ordinance on online gambling after multiple suicide cases
Many states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have tried to ban real-money gaming in recent years.
The ruling is a major victory for real money gaming companies that had criticised the bill as arbitrary and overreaching.
Real money games have grown in India since the onset of the pandemic yet regulations across states remain inconsistent.
The tax raids on Gameskraft offices in Bengaluru come at a time when it is opposing the state's new gambling law in court.
The Karnataka High Court is hearing a batch of petitions that challenge the state's gambling ban on constitutional grounds.
In an amendment, the Karnataka government outlawed all kinds of online betting and gambling including games of skill.
The decision comes just days after Karnataka's online gaming bill which has been criticised as far-reaching, took effect.
Apart from outlawing games of skill, the bill revised clauses and definitions to bring online gaming under regulation.
The ruling deals yet another blow to the many attempts by Indian states at regulating online betting and gambling.
