The law, which is still awaiting notification, bans every kind of money-based play, whether it is based on skill or chance. With platforms shut down and jobs at risk, the industry now turns to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><strong>Good to know<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Supreme Court will hear petitions on October 7, 2025.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Petitioners include Head Digital Works (A23), Clubboom 11 Sports and Entertainment, and Bagheera Carrom.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Cases have been transferred from several High Courts to the Supreme Court for one consolidated hearing.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p>By treating skill games and chance games in the same way, the Act prohibits poker, rummy, fantasy sports, and even online carrom when played for stakes. Leading operators such as A23 suspended services in the third week of August, leaving employees, suppliers, and gaming partners in uncertainty across India.<\/p>\n<p>Petitions had been filed in multiple states, creating a fragmented legal picture. The Union government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, requested that all cases be consolidated. The Supreme Court agreed and ordered digital transfer of records from Delhi, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh High Courts.<\/p>\n<p>The matter is now scheduled before a bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K.V. Vishwanathan. Justice Pardiwala had previously overseen transfer of related cases to the apex court.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
