The Indian government is planning to take action against advertisements promoting illegal betting and gambling activities during popular events like cricket matches and elections. Such advertisements are in clear violation of the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) guidelines. The CCPA has reached out to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to identify violators and take legal actions against them, including imposing penalties and banning the operations of betting and gambling apps. Betting and gambling are illegal in most parts of India under the Public Gambling Act of 1867.
