Online Gaming Bill Passed: Betting Banned, E-Sports Promoted, Industry Reacts | News9

The Union Cabinet has approved the Online Gaming Bill, criminalizing online betting while promoting e-sports and social gaming. The legislation bans the transfer of funds for online money games through banks or individuals and prohibits celebrity endorsements of such platforms. While aimed at curbing digital fraud—which cost Indians nearly ₹23,000 crore in 2024—the bill has sparked concern from gaming industry bodies, warning of potential job losses, company closures, tax revenue decline, and a drop in FDI. Platforms like Dream11, endorsed by top sports and film personalities, now face uncertainty as the government distinguishes between skill-based e-sports and money-driven gaming. #onlinegamingbill #bettingban #esportsindia #gamingindustry #cyberfraudindia #indiagaming #dream11 #digitalfraud #india2025 #governmentnewsebc ..............................................................................................
