01

The central framework changes the premise

The 2025 central law and 2026 commencement arrangements broadly restrict online money games. Historical skill-versus-chance or state distinctions alone are insufficient; pending litigation is not a stay.

02

Discuss no-cashout social products

Evaluate social acquisition only where there is no real-money staking, redeemable value or real-world prize and local and platform rules are satisfied. Google lists India in a specific social casino certification group.

03

Localize without blurring mechanics

Themes such as Teen Patti appear in app research, but global lifetime install bands are not Indian monthly downloads. Creative must accurately describe the product.
