Dear Client,
The Information Technology Act 2000 regulates cyber activities or online betting, gaming or gambling, in India. Only the states of Sikkim, Nagaland, and Meghalaya have gaming laws and licensing regimes. There are different kinds of gambling in India that are prevalent and practiced in India in the past i.e. Horse Racing, Lottery, Skill Games, Casino Gambling, Online Gambling and Sports betting. Any violation of the law would attract a fine of INR 200 or imprisonment of up to 3 months. Once a cybercrime scam involving suspicious or fraudulent transactions is reported online to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP), on the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell, the investigating team starts the routine process of investigation immediately and on the instruction of Cyber Cell, the Bank freezes the suspected accounts of fraudsters and the victim's Bank account putting a lien on it and to unfreeze a frozen bank account, you have to wait for the completion of the investigation of the scam by the investigating agency. In the course of the investigation, you may be interrogated by the police or the IO of the Cybercrime Cell to access or identify the source of the fraudulent transactions. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. If required, you may hire an Advocate or consult with a cybercrime expert for further guidance and suitable steps.
