Online gambling, fantasy sports apps may shut down in Karnataka from today

The controversial Karnataka Police Act, 2021 is set to come into effect from today, forcing all gambling websites to shut shop within the state.

The new law will force all kinds of gambling platforms to stop operating in the state, including platforms like Dream11, Mobile Premier League, rummy and Poker apps to stop doing business in the state.

While the Tamil Nadu government also wanted to ban online gambling in the state, the court called it unconstitutional.
