Central law since 2025
The Online Gaming Act 2025 covers real-money online games across India.
What the law says and what you need to check yourself
The answer depends on where you live. In August 2025 India passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, which prohibits offering and advertising online money games, including betting. Several states also have their own gambling laws. Check the rules that apply to you before opening a Powerplay247 ID, and use the platform only where it is lawful for you.

01
India does not have one simple yes or no answer. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 was written long before the internet, and gambling has traditionally been left to individual states to regulate.
That changed in August 2025, when Parliament passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act. The Act prohibits offering, facilitating and advertising online money games, a category that includes betting on sports. Separately, states such as Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have passed their own laws against online gambling.
02
Before you open an ID, find out whether online betting is permitted where you live. If it is not, do not use Powerplay247 or any similar platform.
Powerplay247's own terms say accounts are only for adults of legal age for online gaming in their own jurisdiction. The team can close an account that does not meet that rule.
03
Whatever the rules where you live, these account practices apply to every player.
Laws change and apply differently depending on your state and situation. If you are unsure, speak to a qualified lawyer before you play.
