Kerala Govt Amends Gaming Act To Ban Online Rummy
The Kerala government on February 27, by amending the Kerala Gaming Act, 1960, declared the online rummy game illegal. Aimed at controlling the online gambling and betting games, the decision came on the Kerala High Court’s notice directing to include the games in the act. Earlier, hearing the PIL filed by film director Pauly Vadakkan, the court has also issued notices to brand ambassadors - Virat Kohli and Tamannah Bhatia - for promoting similar games.
