The recently enacted Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 has introduced sweeping changes to India’s online gaming ecosystem. By prohibiting all real-money games, whether skill-based or chance-based, the Bill has created significant disruption for industry players.
Talking about the development, Gameskraft’s company spokesperson stated, “In light of the recently passed Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, Gameskraft has stopped all ‘Gameplay’ and ‘Add Cash’ services across its Rummy platforms as of 21st August 2025 ahead of the Bill’s official notification. The withdrawal services continue to remain available in accordance with platform policies. We want to reassure our users that all account balances remain safe. We are working closely with our financial partners to ensure a smooth and seamless withdrawal process.
As a responsible and law-abiding corporate entity, Gameskraft has no intention of pursuing any legal challenge to the legislation. We fully respect the legislative process and remain committed to operating within the framework of the law.”
The company emphasized that its focus now shifts to the future. Spokesperson added, “We have already initiated structured internal discussions to chart the road ahead. Guided by our core values and full compliance with the new bill, Gameskraft remains committed to constructive dialogue with policymakers and stakeholders, responsible innovation, player protection, and regulatory alignment. Our cross-functional teams are actively exploring new opportunities and future-ready solutions that align with the evolving legal landscape to unlock the full potential of India’s digital gaming economy.”
Throughout this transition, Gameskraft has prioritized compliance, transparency, and is working in close coordination with its auditors, banking partners, and legal advisors to ensure business continuity and regulatory clarity during this transition period.
The company has cleared all regulatory dues, and have proactively taken steps to safeguard the interests of its employees, partners, vendors, and service providers backed by transparent communication across all stakeholder groups.
“Compliance has always been non-negotiable for us. While this moment brings challenges, it also brings the opportunity to reimagine what’s next – responsibly, lawfully, and in the interest of long-term value creation for all stakeholders.” the statement concluded.
