Revised Statement by Zupee: “The recent Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka order striking down the ban against online gaming and for restraining action against online gaming businesses and allied activities sets a positive atmosphere for business growth and would help in creating made in India for the world products. The judgment makes clear the intent of new India where, misgivings, misinformation or personal reservations should not get in the way of innovation, growth, and rule of law. At Zupee we strongly believe that this verdict by the Hon’ble High Court provides the gaming industry a much need secure environment to accelerate its growth and expansion in the southern states. As most gaming enterprises in India are start-ups, it will encourage entrepreneurial spirit and reassure investor confidence in the Indian market.
India is at the forefront of gaming innovation and we have a chance to become a global gaming hub, and a secure and facilitative policy ecosystem is crucial to achieving that. Prior to Karnataka, the Kerala and Madras High Courts also struck down the bans against online gaming, providing hope to what is now considered the “sunrise sector” in India to commit fully to helping India achieve the 1-trillion-dollar digital economy dream by 2025. This judgment also reasserts the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s view that online skill-based games are perfectly legal businesses and should be allowed to run, grow and expand as would any other legitimate business.
It is important to note that most of the online Skill gaming companies are already complying with all national and state laws and regulations and will continue to do so. We would like to thank the Hon’ble High Court for providing much-needed legal clarity on the issue and look forward to resuming services in the start-up capital soon and ensuring that people there can also enjoy our games.”
