Contrary to what has been widely reported in the press, the Kerala government has not amended the Gaming Act by virtue of an Ordinance or Act of the legislature, but merely used its executive power to clarify the ambit of what kind of skill games may be permissible.

Unlike other states which specifically amended their gambling legislations to ban online real money games played for stakes or wagering, the Kerala government, probably due to paucity of time or other priorities given the upcoming state elections, and contrary to the court order requiring it to consider bringing a legislation, took the easier approach of issuing an executive notification which is merely clarificatory in nature.

Under Section 14A of the Kerala Gaming Act, the state government merely has power to exempt games, which it feels are games where the element of skill is more predominant than the element of chance from the penal provisions of the Gaming Act, subject to restrictions or conditions that it may specify.

Accordingly, in 1976, the state government through a notification exempted several games, which it considered to be skill predominant, such as rummy, dart and throw, cup and coin, shooting contests and card games- 28, 56 and 112 from the gambling legislation, subject to the condition that no side-betting would be permitted in such games.

Through an amendment to the said 1976 notification this month, the government added a caveat to the exemption for rummy and stated that the exemption for rummy would be available ‘except online rummy when played for stakes'.

The amendment thus indicates that online rummy when played for stakes would not enjoy any relaxation or exemption under the gaming law and accordingly those playing on or operating online rummy websites could face the penal consequences.

Curiously however, the notification creates a distinction between rummy played for stakes physically in clubs or other places within the state (which still remains permitted) and online rummy for stakes which is prohibited. There could be questions raised on whether such a distinction between online and offline versions of the same game can be justified and what could be the possible rationale for it.

Additionally, whilst other states have brought in amendments in their legislations to add terms such as cyberspace and online games played for stakes or betting within the statutory definitions of common gaming house and gaming respectively, Kerala has not brought in such comprehensive changes to its existing legislation. It remains to be seen whether a game can be prohibited through an executive order when the powers given under the parent act are only to enumerate games of skill and not to ban them.

Further, it would also be pertinent to question the haste in which the state government came out with a notification instead of coming out with a comprehensive legislation to ban or regulate online gambling, betting and skill games as was suggested by the Kerala High Court.

The notification issued by the Kerala government will almost certainly be challenged in the High Court on the above grounds of constitutional invalidity and exceeding the powers given under the parent legislation.

Already, there are writ petitions to state laws banning online rummy pending in the High Courts of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Madras. With the addition of Kerala to this list of states banning online rummy or other games, other states may also feel the pressure of banning online gaming.

With at least three other PILsagainst the governments of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka pending in the High Courts, and the state government of Gujarat being directed by the High Court to take a call on formulating a legislation for online rummy and gambling, the next few months will be crucial for the online rummy and skill gaming industry.
