The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has passed an ordinance to regulate online gambling.
The Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister M K Stalin, took the decision after final touches were given to the draft ordinance. It would be promulgated once Governor R N Ravi gives his consent, the government said.
In June of this year, the Chief Minister announced a new law to curb online gambling, and the State government formed a panel under the retired judge of the Madras High Court Justice K Chandru to recommend the promulgation of an ordinance to regulate online gambling in the State.
The recommendation was submitted to the Chief Minister on June 27, 2022, and was put before the Cabinet on the same day for consideration. The Cabinet took up the draft ordinance for discussion today after obtaining the requisite information from the School Education Department on the impact of online gaming on students, according to an official release. The draft ordinance was prepared on August 29, 2022, according to the release.
