  • Online Gambling Ban: Tamil Nadu Government Says No Complete Ban on Online Games, Only Online Gambling Proscribed in the State

    Online Gambling Ban: Tamil Nadu Government Says No Complete Ban on Online Games, Only Online Gambling Proscribed in the State

    Chennai, November 25: The Tamil Nadu government on Friday said no complete ban on online games has been proposed but only online gambling has been proscribed in the state, and sought Governor R N Ravi’s assent to the Bill to prohibit online gambling and regulate online games in the state.

    As per the doctrine of proportionality, no total ban has been proposed, state Law Minister S Raghupathy said. “Games are not completely banned. They have been differentiated as game of chance and game of skill and only online gambling is banned. Online Gambling Games Banned in Tamil Nadu, Assembly Passes Bill To Ban and Regulate Online Rummy, Poker, Other Gambling Platforms.

    Therefore, it is a proportional restriction,” the minister clarified. Also, the government submitted its response to certain doubts or clarifications raised by the Governor on Thursday on enforcing a ban on online gambling in the state, he said. Online Gambling Games: Tamil Nadu Law Minister S Regupathy Introduces Bill To Ban Online Rummy, Poker, Other Gambling Platforms.

    The Bill, aiming to give effect to the government ordinance, seeks to prohibit gambling and regulate online gambling. It was unanimously passed by the Assembly and sent to the Governor for assent, recently.

    “On Thursday morning, we received a letter from the Governor asking for certain clarifications. We submitted our response within 24 hours. This shows the the DMK government under Chief Minister M K Stalin is keen on enforcing the ban in the interest of the people,” Raghupathy told reporters here.

    The Bill passed by the previous AIADMK government could not stand legal scrutiny and hence the present regime had to enact a new legislation. “We addressed the issues raised by the Madras High Court and also included certain clauses and sent the Bill for assent,” the law minister claimed.

    The Governor raised an issue pertaining to the judgment of the Madras High Court that the legislation already enacted on the same subject is not constitutional. In particular, a complete ban without distinction between game of chance and skill is against Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.

    “We replied that the proposed Act is within the ambit of the Constitution, and has been framed considering the entries in List 2 of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The power of the state government on making laws on gambling can be traced to Entry 34 List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution on betting and gambling: public order, public health, theaters and dramatic performances,” he said.

    “This Act is not against the Constitution. This draft law to ban online gambling is constitutional,” Raghupathy stressed. The draft law has been created to ban only online gambling in the current ordinance. In the preamble, this draft law was passed by clearly mentioning the report given by the expert committee on the subject and the data based on various researches, he added.

    It is possible to play knowing who and how one is playing while participating in person (offline). “But the law was enacted to ban online games on the grounds that when played online, there are chances for cheating and money laundering as the game is played based on a (computer) programme written by the creator of the game. Therefore, this draft law is subject to the aforementioned Article 34 of the Constitution,” the minister said.

    In October, the Tamil Nadu government promulgated an ordinance to prohibit online gambling and regulate online games in the state and said an online gaming authority will be established to exercise powers conferred by this ordinance.

    The Gazette notification issued by the government on October 3 and the ordinance promulgated by Governor Ravi on October 1, said the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Online Gambling and Regulation of Online Games Ordinance, 2022, will come into force on the date notified by the government.

    It said online games and gambling ruined families, led to suicides, caused gaming addiction affecting public health, disturbing social order and prejudices the maintenance of public order.

  • Netflix’s 99% Users Have Not Tried Its Games: Report

    San Francisco: Video streaming platform Netflix’s foray into the gaming business is off to a poor start as a new report says that less than 1 percent of its subscribers are playing its games. App analytics company Apptopia estimates an average of 1.7 million people are engaging with the games daily, which is less than 1 per cent of Netflix’s 221 million subscribers, reports CNBC. Netflix Confirms an Ad-Supported Tier Amid Second Round Layoffs.

    The platform is accelerating its push into video games with plans to double its catalog of offerings by the end of the year, but for now, few of the streaming giant’s subscribers are playing.

    Since last November, the company has been rolling out the games to keep users engaged between show releases. The games are accessible only to subscribers but have to be downloaded as separate apps.

    In the second quarter, Netflix lost nearly a million subscribers, after losing 200,000 subscribers during the first quarter — its first subscriber decline in more than a decade. In a letter to shareholders last year, Netflix named Epic Games and TikTok as among its biggest rivals for people’s time.

    “One of the many advantages to Netflix in pursuing the strategy is the ability to drive engagement beyond when the show first comes out on the platform,” D.A Davidson senior analyst Tom Forte was quoted as saying.

    Still, Netflix Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters said last year the company was “many months and really, frankly, years” into learning how games can keep customers on the service, the report said.
