The government of Telangana has come up with a new ordinance against online gambling, even though the state’s High Court is still deliberating its previous gaming decree.

Over the weekend, the Telangana Cabinet issued the fresh decree amending the Telangana State Gaming (Amendment) Ordinance, 2017, which was issued several weeks ago, GLaws.In reported.

The Telangana State Gaming (Amendment) Ordinance, 2017 added new definition of “cyber space” in the gaming legislation, making betting and gambling through the internet illegal, which means that playing online matka, sports betting, poker and rummy in the state will now incur criminal penalties.

The new ordinance added the words “online gaming with stakes” to the definition of gaming as well as the general description of the term “gaming,” which now states “that any act of risking money or otherwise on the result of an unknown event including on a game of skill falls within the definition of betting and wagering,” according to the report.
