India legal information

This page is an informational summary, not legal advice. Laws and their application can depend on the specific activity, facts, location and current official notifications. Seek qualified Indian legal advice for a decision about a particular app or service.

Central framework

The Government of India Press Information Bureau states that the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules, 2026 came into force on 1 May 2026. Its explainer describes the 2025 Act as distinguishing esports, online social games and online money games, and states that the Act prohibits online money games. Read the actual Act, Rules and official notifications rather than relying on a search snippet or this summary.

Whether a particular app or activity falls into a legal category cannot be determined by its name, “skill game” label, free-to-download status or a website disclaimer alone. Do not assume an activity is lawful everywhere in India. Check current central and applicable state/territory rules and any official determinations.
