Disadvantages of betting platforms In a landmark judgment dated March 6, 2020, the Supreme Court has divided online betting into two…
First – Game of skill means betting money according to your knowledge and understanding. This will not be called a crime.
Second: Game of chance, i.e. gambling by just trying your luck.
According to Supreme Court lawyer Virag Gupta, according to the decision of the Supreme Court and the law, only games of skills are legally recognized. Betting and gambling are illegal in India, with state police having the authority to take action against them. However, by changing the intermediary rules, the Central Government has given a strange recognition to betting apps under the guise of gaming.
This is the reason that under the guise of online gaming, betting related apps are doing business worth trillions in India. Online betting apps like Dream 11, Fantasy 11, My Circle and Rummy are doing huge business under this rule of game of skill.
This can be estimated from the fact that fantasy sports was worth Rs 920 crore in 2019, whereas in 2020 it reached Rs 24,000 crore. Many other apps like Mahadev Book App in the country are doing illegal business and cheating the youth.
According to Virag, after the spot-fixing scam in IPL, former Supreme Court judge Justice Lodha Committee had recommended legalizing betting in sports in its 2015 report. The 21st Law Commission, in its 2018 report, had recommended legalizing gambling and betting. Fantasy sports also came under this. However, instead of making a clear law in this regard, the government has indirectly given recognition to the business of illegal gaming apps for betting and gambling under the guise of games of skill.
Such apps are doing illegal business on a large scale and also evading taxes. The GST department has issued a recovery notice to these companies in the tax evasion case of Rs 55 thousand crore.
According to the report of Business Standard, these companies have stolen Rs 1.5 lakh crore GST.
Pooja Banerjee is trending on Google After being interrogated by ED, Pooja Banerjee is suddenly being searched continuously on Google. This is the reason why she is trending on Google.
