The Lok Sabha passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill on Wednesday. The law aims to stop online games played with money. It seeks to reduce addiction, money laundering, and financial fraud. The bill also bans advertisements for such games. Banks and financial institutions will not be allowed to transfer or process money for these games. The government said the move is to protect citizens from financial loss and addiction. Lawmakers approved the draft after discussions. The bill now moves forward for further steps to become a full law. (PC: HT)
