K'taka: Online gambling bill passed; industry worried
In a move to put an end to online gambling and betting, the assembly passed a bill on Tuesday amid concerns raised by industry stakeholders. Home minister Araga Jnanen- dra, who piloted the Karnataka Police (Amendment) Bill, 2021, said the existing law was inadequate to curb online gambling as it was a non-cognisable and bailable offence. The bill seeks to prohibit all wagering, betting, gambling of all forms, except lottery and horse race.
