The Supreme Court of India has agreed to conduct a final hearing on petitions challenging the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2026, a law that introduced nationwide restrictions on online real money gaming. The legal challenge comes after the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act came into force on May 1, 2026. The legislation introduced a complete ban on Online Real Money Games (ORMG), covering games involving both skill and chance. The petition filed by CASC also asks authorities to prevent platforms from continuing operations by using alternative classifications such as social gaming or competitive gaming. The Supreme Court had previously requested responses from several parties, including the central government, Google India, TRAI, Apple India, Dream11, Mobile Premier League and A23 Games.
