The issue of whether rummy if played with stakes amounts to gambling or not has not been decided by Supreme Court. However, Andra Pradesh High Court in D. Krishna Kumar And Anr. vs State Of A.P.(2002) (Annexure-2) relying upon the SC decision of 1968 held that till such time the state gambling Act is amended to lay down that playing Rummy with stakes is "gaming", playing Rummy with stakes is not 'gaming' within the meaning of the Act and is therefore allowed.

From the above it can be inferred that there is no illegality in online gambling hence there is no need to be worried about police action this regard.

Betting or gambling is illegal in most of India. But there is no law that makes online betting an illegal activity. Offshore betting companies are apparently using this 'loophole' to lure Indians to bet on pretty much everything. You can go ahead and bet as of now

At present gambling in India is regulated amongst others, by the Public Gambling Act ("Gambling Act") constituted in the year 1867, specifically prohibits public gambling and running or being in charge of a common gaming house. There are certain restrictions. In India, the enactments essentially allow such Games to be played on line, which are games of skill. The only State to allow on-line Gaming is the State of Sikkim. Sikkim is so far the only state in India which has enacted a statute pertaining to online gaming i.e. Sikkim Online Gaming (Regulation) Act, 2008 ("Sikkim Gaming Act"). In terms of the Sikkim Gaming Act, an interested person can obtain a "license" for the purpose of conducting online games.

Various courts in India have examined the difference between the game of skill and game of chance and in order to determine what constitutes gaming as defined in various state enactments (i.e. gambling); it is imperative to understand the difference between a "game of skill" and a "game of chance". on-line Gaming is concerned, the courts are of the view that on-line Gaming could not be compared to real game being played and would, therefore, not be allowed until 'skill' test is passed by it.

Dear Sir,

Right off the bat, online gambling in India is heavily restricted but there are no precise laws stating the same exactly, except for horse betting, and lotteries. Skill-based gambling games are also legal, but game definitions remain unclear, and platforms frequently operate under the radar.

But as you may very well know, gambling is everywhere in India, culturally and historically ever-present, and largely all underground and untaxed.

Daily examples range from card games, to animal fights, to national cricket matches and even betting on Pro Kabaddi League. We have all heard of stories where someone we know played poker in an underground club and won lakhs in just one night. And then, we may also know people who have made a fortune in sports betting.

Despite these massive developments driven by technology and the rise in the number of betting enthusiasts in the country, old gambling laws from 150 years ago continue to govern gambling – online and physical, and leave many topics unregulated and unclear.

Online gambling, cricket betting, and casino gaming fall under this category – they are not explicitly regulated and legal; it is a grey area. Those who do it access foreign-based platforms and pay through e-wallets. No-one is persecuted.

From the general trends, our law system is more interested in catching the culprits who gamble physically: we are talking about bookies, underground clubs, and so on. (Think of the movie Jannat – if only our hero had gambled online, that cop wouldn’t be behind him!).
