India's Online Gaming Act 2025: what it means for crash game players
India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 received Presidential assent on 22 August 2025. It prohibits offering, advertising and facilitating payments for online money games, while promoting e-sports and social games. Real-money crash games fall within that prohibition.
Draft rules under the Act were published for consultation in October 2025. We’re tracking whether the rules have been finalised and how enforcement is working, and we’ll update this page and our India edition as primary sources confirm each step.
This is not legal advice.
