Centre Wants In on Oversight of All Real-Money Gaming Platforms, Says Report

The central government will have oversight of all types of online games, Reuters reported on Sunday, 4 December, citing sources.

Two birds, one stone? This could mean that the Centre’s online gaming regulations could deal with both, games of skill and games of chance.

Yes, but: State governments will still retain the right to ban games of chance, the Reuters report added.

First, a confidential report by a government-appointed committee had proposed that the regulations should only apply to games of skill and not games of chance.
