Card games played at clubs are strictly speaking not legal, since it is also gambling.

About the online rummy, poker etc., almost all of these sites have their servers outside India, so they cant be implicated. There are still no rules on online gambling/betting in India, but it is still not legal.

 

I want to ask experts about the legality of gambling in india.. as i have seen 1 website that is bet365.com which offers to bet almost in every game. That is a UK based site, and its all legal there. Check out the website, and its all responsible gambling, they are licenced and everything seems to be perfect.

Just i wanted to know its legal consequences in India. (As i have heard that making any bet to indian bookie is illegal, so that website is UK bookie)

My Client need advice regarding this.. Please Help.. ASAP

I think you are pretty able to have a look at the law of your country and find an answer to this question. In my opinion, this question has a moral sense sometimes. I mean if casinos should be legal or illegal? Everybody will answer it differently but I don't see any bad influence of gambling. It brings only benefits to the state and we can see it by the example of Vegas and many others. In my humble opinion, everybody should try playing fairspin one day. Only this way, you can make the right and true conclusions.
