#MintPrimer | Tamil Nadu has banned online #gambling, rekindling a campaign against #gaming firms in India that has raged for over a year-and-a-half.

Mint explains the controversy: livemint.com/companies/news… Image
#MintPrimer | After much back-and-forth the #TamilNadu Prohibition of Online Gambling and Regulation of Online Games Ordinance was passed on 10 April.

The bill seeks to prohibit online gambling, its promotion through advertising, and more.

#MintPrimer | Tamil Nadu has clarified that only #onlinegambling is banned within its borders, & the ordinance doesn’t apply to all online games.
