Gambling has existed for ages. People have played gambling games for fun or money. Just like every story has two sides, gambling also has one. It is good to stay positive, so let’s talk about the positive side of the casino industry.
Today there are many gambling laws in place. If gambling becomes an addiction, it could also destroy lives and families and affect the government. In India, each state is allowed to set its gambling laws. Gambling is legal in Goa, Sikkim, and Daman. The latter doesn’t have a casino. Sikkim has land-based casinos, while Goa has land-based and floating (offshore) casinos.
There are live dealers in their offshore casino games, whereas land-based casinos have electronic games. Sikkim’s land-based casinos have electronic and live dealer games.
The various casino offers, entertainment and surroundings make casinos in India great holiday destinations. Money from this sector contributes to state revenue and generates employment for many. However, certain Indian state governments prefer a blanket ban on gambling than regularising it. In states where gambling is banned, people continue playing underground or on offshore sites. The legality of online casinos is vague as the Public Gambling Act, 1867, doesn’t mention internet games. It is because the Act came into being before the introduction of the internet.
According to the Public Gambling Act,1867, a game of skill is legal, whereas luck-based games are illegal. As stated previously, it is up to each Indian state to approve gambling or not in their region. Today many want the regularisation of online games. Not all online games are gambling games. For example, chess tournaments that happen online. Chess is a game of skill. The Tamil Nadu government has banned all online games.
Skilled game players have been affected as their online games now fall under gambling games only for being played online. It is seen as unfair by the players and many others who love skilled games. In fact, as per the List, any state government cannot term skilled games illegal. The matter is still in court. Only the future will tell if gambling will get regularised or banned in all the Indian states.
