In an effort to end gambling and online gambling, the meeting passed a bill on Tuesday amid complaints raised by industry stakeholders. Home Affairs Minister Araga Jnandra, who reviewed the Karnataka Police Bill (Amendment), 2021, said the existing law was not enough to curb online gambling as it was a mysterious and common crime.

CM Bassavraj said that the proposed law does not prohibit online games that are strictly in line with the characteristics of skills games. The government, however, will deal with the operator and paid operators who work on hidden opportunity games such as skill games. Skill games that pose a risk of players losing money can also invite action.

The Minister of Home Affairs Mr. Janendra said that although the police have booked cases and arrested people involved in such activities, these used to get bail easily and start over. The new bill will address these shortcomings and make the case known. The bill also provides for higher penalties and penalties.
