The Indian government seems like it is not going to back down on the decision it made regarding the ban on most forms of gambling in the territory any time soon. On the other hand, they do have it in mind since underground gambling seems to be getting more powerful as time goes by, and that means that soon it will be even harder to control it. In a statement that was made by the Minister Of Law, Mr Shankar Prasad, the latter admitted that although legalization of the gambling industry is not desired right now, there are some things that should be considered.
What Future for Indian Betting?
Among the most important of them is that if a complete ban can be ensured, then legalization will be considered by both Parliament and state legislators, having, of course, the proper guidelines and regulations. The other members of the parliament, the ones who disagree with the gambling legalization, first asked what particular regulations could be implemented for a legalized gambling market. The Minister of Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad, was asked if he thinks that the market should be opened, and he said that it is under consideration. The next few months are going to be extremely interesting.
