Gameskraft: Will not pursue legal action against gaming bill

Gameskraft has said that it will not pursue legal action against the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which has introduced changes to India’s online gaming ecosystem.

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. The platform spokesperson said, “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.”

“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.
