The Commission reasserts that a complete ban on online gambling is the most desirable outcome despite its own conclusion this is an impractical and unworkable policy.
Last week, the Law Commission of India (LCI) submitted a detailed report to the government urging them to legalize and heavily regulate sports betting and gambling.
While many came out in favor of legalization including advocates, former cricket players and sports analysts, some—particularly the opposition party and senior political leaders—objected to the idea and said that legalization would have “serious implications on the social health of the country.”
