Online Gaming Bill Passed & Electoral Roll Revision in Bihar
A new law about online gaming was passed that is going to stop games where you can bet money and also fantasy sports that give cash.
The government wants to support normal games.
Also the Election Commission is changing the voter lists in Bihar, but some people think the process is happening too fast and might be going too far.
It's like they're trying to do things faster than they did before.
Rajya Sabha passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
The Bill prohibits online betting and cash reward-based fantasy sports.
Leading fantasy platforms like Dream 11 are winding down real-money operations.
The Election Commission's revision of electoral rolls in Bihar is under scrutiny.
The revision process is facing criticism for its short timeframe and potential overreach.
