It does not involve lottery or wagering, horse racing outside the state.
Bruh. what they're doing looks pretty damn stupid in my eyes ngl. Wait actually, I don't even know if they actually think of the masses as stupid. This clearly shows how they're pretty greedy of money, yet have to do something to address the issue of online gambling addiction. It's an empty way to placate the issue. Still, I'm pretty sure most bans like this can easily be bypassed using VPN's and the like, shouldn't really be much of a problem there. The idea of increasing the punishment is a nice idea, though really, the thoughts behind it are still pretty stupid imo.

This could hurt their economy as we all know gambling generated huge money go their government since Casinos are paying taxes but if this decision is based on their Religion I guess we can’y argue to this anymore since this might be against to their belief. If you’re living on that place better to follow the law, or you can still play outside that place if its really ok to you, there’s still a way for sure legally.
For sure they are already aware of that manner because they wont really be making such decision if they dont know on what are the things been affected but if they do still end up on banning gambling then for sure theydont really care much about revenue and might have some other sources which they dont bother much about banning gambling.We do know that there are some really part of the world which does prohibit or ban gambling
and some countries does have current plants on doing so.As a citizen then you wont really be having no choice but to deal with it or else you would get penalized.

Suuree it's to "wean citizens away from the vice of gambling" BUT "it does not include lottery or wagering or betting on horse races run on any race course within or outside the state." It's not for the sake of people, but for money, to keep the money flowing to lottery and horse races. #Feelsbadman for Karnataka slots players!
I think you guys can still get away with a VPN, but DWYOR.
I agree with you mu_enrico, I think you're right it looks like a hypocritical measure to redirect money from online gambling bets towards national gambling games like horse races and lottery, but I'm not sure it will succeed if they don't allow more kinds of games. It will be very difficult to track all people using internet in addition. I think you guys can still get away with a VPN, but DWYOR.

Karnataka ( A state in India ) just introduced a bill in assembly to ban online gambling in the state which does mean that the players won't be able to use anything like that anymore. People will have maximum imprisonment UpTo 3 years or would have to pay 1 lac. Inr. Virtual currencies are also included in the same. It does not involve lottery or wagering, horse racing outside the state. For people who are addicted the punishment would increase every moment, it would start from a lower amount and lower imprisonment and increase tremendously for every next offence.
If they wanted to imprisonment someone they need to having full coordinating with the gambling site if they want to charge something against them, if not how they are going to implement this law if the gambling sites are not corporating with their law especially if they are registered in that country. I have no idea how they are going to implement this law and it looks like they can nab someone even without much evidence.

I always have a negative attitude towards any measures of prohibitive nature in relation to gambling. We are all well aware that no law can completely eradicate gambling. It looks like a legal way to extort money from the population under the guise of fighting for their financial well-being. In my opinion such measures will lead to an increase in the number of underground gambling establishments and more carefully hide them from the eyes of the guardians of law and order.
For sure those underground gambling places or venues would really be increasing in numbers and also in talks of online gambling which is one of the most common path or method on where these gamblers could still get involved with gambling without being caught if they are really that serious on playing but of course there would be corresponding risk.There are only two possible reasons
when it comes to prohibition on something by the government, whether they do really in concern with their citizens or simply they are just simply trying to milk it out.

Something like this is never going to work, politicians can put whatever they want on the law that doesn't mean that they can enforce those laws which is something completely different, what are they going to do to try to enforce those laws? Are they going to spy on the people every single day of the week to see that they are not gambling online? Because that is impossible and if they can do this then I'm not so sure that I want to live in a society like that, the only thing that people living there needs to do is to cover their tracks and they will be fine.

Good lord VPN! No I think you guys can still get away with a VPN, but DWYOR.
I am not from Karnataka and I don't even live in India but I do know some stuff about Indian government, one of it is "they never respect privacy and are always tracking the people down"
Therefore I do think that at the end of the day the government might already do put schemes in place to make sure things like that does not happen, so using VPN is something that I would not recommend. They are choosing things like horse racing which is honestly very cruel, did you even see the news where a horse died in the hurdle race instantly. This is just ridiculous. Who is poker harming?? ( Addiction is personal)
A ban is the first step and regulation is the next. It seems the state doesn't have the means to enforce taxes on any of these online platforms that is why they are trying to scare the gamblers. This is a challenge to many governments right now and it's not only in India that online gambling is prohibited.
Seems like the government of India is trying to ban things incompletely since they really want to be able to earn more profits from things like horse racing which is absolutely ridiculous, if you are banning something then why not ban it fully? It's just one state though, let's see how it goes.

Wean citizens huh? That's the most BS bill I've seen although I understand the hypocrisy behind it since lottery and the other mentioned games are backed by the government. I don't think wean is the right word because there's definitely no weaning in this one since people can just go for a horse race for their gambling fix.

I actually think on the contrary Karnataka will be even more chaotic, if the law prohibits online gambling addicts, this will result in new turmoil between Christians, Hindus, For the middle, upper and lower caste communities, this online gambling ban law will narrow the online gambling movement from the regions, the majority of which are middle and low caste people.But for me this law didn't last long and it didn't work like the Karnataka court wanted it, online gambling is very rare to register and enter their personal identity, so it is a little difficult to catch those who are addicted to online gambling.
