The Competition Commission of India (CCI) closed its antitrust probe against Google over alleged discrimination of real-money gaming (RMG) apps following the statutory ban on online money games by the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which prohibits such games and advertisements without distinguishing games of skill or chance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Gaming Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Indian online gaming entrepreneurs face a sealed regulatory gate as CCI stops probing Google post legal ban on real-money games. You need to pivot away from real-money model or push for alternative markets compliant with evolving laws.
