India’s Supreme Court postpones online gaming law ruling until January
India’s Supreme Court deferred a decision on challenges to the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act until 21 January 2026, saying a three-judge bench should hear the issues. The law, which has not been notified, prohibits real-money online games; operators challenging it argue that the court must resolve which level of government has regulatory authority.
The ruling will determine whether real-money online gaming can be offered and which government bodies may regulate it in India.
