Online Gaming Bill 2025: WinZO withdraws money-based games after Presidential assent – ‘The best is yet to come’

WinZO, one of India’s leading social gaming platforms, will withdraw money-based games following the new online gaming bill. The legislation, effective August 22, 2025, prohibits real-money gaming but supports e-sports. WinZO emphasizes its commitment to compliance and innovation, despite the significant regulatory shift. Other gaming firms like Dream11 and Games24x7 are also adapting, signaling a major transformation in India’s online gaming sector.
