🇮🇳 India court classifies real-money games as gambling

India’s Supreme Court has ruled that real-money games are gambling, even when skill is involved, and upheld state bans in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The 27 May judgment said any game played for stakes — including online rummy, poker and fantasy sports — falls outside constitutional protection 🎯📱 The case, brought by Tamil Nadu against Junglee Games, overturns earlier High Court decisions that treated skill games differently. Why it matters: Indian states now have stronger legal footing to restrict RMG, raising the regulatory stakes for operators across one of gaming’s biggest growth markets ⚖️📊 Source: igaming_news Telegram, citing the Supreme Court ruling.
