Game of Dice to Online Poker
by Poker India Blog Entertainment - gameWagering of money or stakes for an uncertain outcome is how we define gambling. Gambling has been a popular trend in this country since a long time. Looking back in the history, we see ancient legends like Mahabharata and Gambler's lament mention gambling. Indeed it was a popular game play in past.
With passing time, emerged new technology and new trends of gaming. However gambling never lost its place in the hearts of the gamblers, and for Indians, it was in their genes. But the difference with old times is, gambling which used to take place in the royal courtyards founds its place in casinos and occasionally at homes. But the biggest prove of modern day technology came up with the advent of Online Gambling.
The Indian government might be against gambling, which is evident by the strict gambling laws passed by the government and followed in most of the states till date, but online gambling could not be stopped. The popular Indian poker sites still continue to offer games to the pleasure of the players.
It is a proven fact that India’s online gaming trends are increasing day by day and statistics reveal that huge number of Indians are regular gamers till date.
India has different gambling laws for different states as gambling is a matter to be looked after by the state and not the central. However a common gambling law known as The Public Gambling Act of 1867, states that any form of betting game that involves skills are allowed in the country. Making it very obvious, a game that involves luck and chances are banned. Majority of the Indian states has made amendments in this law. However, no state have still legalised gambling completely except for three, viz., Goa, Sikkim and Daman & Diu.
Goa has approved gambling by permitting casinos only in five star hotels and non land based offshore cruises. Quite a lot of casinos legally operate in the state. Daman and Diu walk on the footprints of Goa. However the state of Sikkim has given permission to the casinos and special licenses are provided to them for operating the gambling business. On special days, gambling becomes legal throughout the state by the government’s grants. Moreover, Sikkim was the first state in India to legalise Online Gambling completely.
Internet gambling is a flourishing business in the country with huge number of fans and followers for it. But the government still has a question mark on the legality of online gambling. Although no cases of busting online gambler has been recorded in the history of India as of now. While many are in the favour of legalizing online betting in the country, a very few are against it. The Supreme Court of India is to give a final verdict on the legalisation of online betting in the country by January 2016.
