Bare Act
The Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021
The Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021, regulates both online and offline games of skill and chance that involve betting or wagering money in the state. It applies to game operators, players, and businesses conducting these gaming activities, requiring companies to obtain official five-year licenses and pay royalties. This legislation matters because it establishes a legal, taxable framework for real-money gaming, replacing old gambling bans for licensed operations. It protects state revenue and ensures operator accountability, while deterring illegal gaming by imposing heavy fines and up to two years of prison time for unlicensed activities.
