India – Nagaland approves skill gaming
By Phil - 21 December 2016
Nagaland, a state in Northeast India, has issued its first licenses for online games of skill to online poker operator khelo365.com and online rummy company clubempire.in.
Currently the license only covers the games of poker and rummy, which have both been classed as skill-based games. The government plans to issue another ten licences in the coming weeks.
Vinod Manoharan, Managing Director of khelo365.com, said the move by the government would now end the ‘debate on the legality of online poker once and allow the industry to boom.’
Nagaland is the first Indian state to pass a specific law to regulate online skill games.
