Online International lottery playing Eligibility
9 months ago
I am located in Mumbai, Maharashtra .I wished to know if we are eligible to play online international lotteries managed by gaming authorities outside India.I tried going through different acts but was not able to get anything regarding International lotteries so please assist on the same.
A.Dear client,
The situation is subject to the interpretation of various laws, and there is no explicit law that specifically addresses online international lotteries in India.
The key legislation governing lotteries in India is the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998. This law primarily deals with regulating the conduct of lotteries within the country. While it does not explicitly mention online international lotteries, some legal experts argue that it could be interpreted to cover such lotteries as well. Some states in India, including Maharashtra, have also enacted their own state-specific laws concerning lotteries.
Additionally, the Public Gambling Act, 1867, is another relevant legislation that prohibits certain forms of gambling. However, the enforcement and interpretation of these laws can vary, and there have been instances of legal ambiguity and conflicting court judgments.
Since there is lack of concrete legislation, it is advisable to engage with legal counsel;
