Legal Summary

India regulates gambling primarily at state level. Nagaland’s 2016 framework licenses qualifying online games of skill through the Directorate of State Lotteries; it is not a general online-casino licence and applies only where the relevant game is legally treated as skill. The current portal explains applications but does not publish a current licensee directory, so unmatched brand claims remain under review.
