- Tamil Nadu Governor has given his assent to a Bill banning online gambling which was adopted in March by the state Assembly for a second time.
- This bill aims to ban online gambling, including online rummy and poker with stakes in the state.
- It is dealing a blow to the nascent but fast-growing skill gaming sector.
- Recently, MeitY had notified new gaming-related amendments to the IT Act 2021 on April 6.
- It allowed multiple self-regulatory organisations (SROs) to determine whether a real-money game, where the transfer of money is involved, is permitted to operate in India or not.
- Earlier, Tamil Nadu had set up a five-member committee led by retired Justice K Chandru to analyse the negative effects of these games and make recommendations for a new law prohibiting "online gambling games".
