Offshore betting ads growing despite ban on online money games: ASCI economictimes.indiatimes.com…

India spent a decade learning why retrospective tax is poison. We're about to throw the lesson away. Picture this: your team wins a cricket match, clean, by the rules of the game that day. A year later, the umpire changes a rule and applies it backward — and declares you lost the match you already won. That's retrospective tax. You broke nothing. They moved the line, then pointed it at your past. We did exactly this to Vodafone in 2012, chasing them over a 2007 deal. Cairn Energy got hit too. Both went to international arbitration. Both won. India refunded over $1.2 billion and spent years as the cautionary tale that every global investor cited as the reason they hesitated on us. In 2021, we finally repealed it and called retro taxation a thing of the past. Capital started trusting us again. This week, the courts upheld retrospective GST on online gaming. Dream11 and an entire industry now owe tax on years of operations under rules that didn't exist at the time. Retrospective tax doesn't punish what you did. It punishes you for not predicting what the government would later wish you'd done. As a country, we should not set such a precedent. #Noretrospectivetax

Govt is such bhikari now that they will use retrospective taxes. This is a double edged sword. This is basically saying after you won something that the rules are changing now and as per that you didn’t win back then as well. Another reason for @nsitharaman to resign and give up because the people have definitely given up on the govt. Don’t know what they smoke up to come with these kind of rules. The govt is already fucking us raw with oil prices and every aspect of living. Now add this too. Imagine if they came and told you that your tax bill is going up because you have to pay for your previous income as well. Utterly disgusting.

Go ahead and BAN ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES immediately. 🛑🚫 Absolute, unadulterated hypocrisy. If the Govt and Supreme Court are so righteously obsessed with "public morality" and "saving citizens from vice" that they’ll pass draconian PROGA laws and slap unpayable, retrospective tax nukes to kill Dream11 overnight, why stop there? Let's see the spine. Alcohol causes fatal liver cirrhosis, domestic violence, and body counts on our roads every single night. Cigarettes are literally packaged, state-taxed cancer that suffocates public health. But oh wait... the government pulls in hundreds of thousands of crores in excise duties from liquor syndicates and tobacco conglomerates, so that "vice" gets a free pass, right? A tech company builds a data-driven, strategic platform that employs thousands of engineers and pumps sponsorship into Indian sports, and it gets labeled a "gambling menace" and strangled out of existence. Meanwhile, actual toxic poisons are sold on every single street corner because the state likes its cut of the sin tax. They stand on a fake moral high ground claiming they are "protecting the public from the vice of betting." But let’s say what everyone already knows out loud: plenty of dirty funding from certain politicians, MLAs, and MPs flows straight into untraceable, offshore illegal betting apps operated out of tax havens. By killing transparent, tax-compliant, domestic tech giants that employed thousands of our own people, the state hasn't stopped gambling—they've purposefully funneled millions of Indian users directly into the hands of these illegal, black-market offshore networks Stop hiding behind the fake moral mask of "protecting the public." You don't care about societal harm; you just care about what you can over-tax and control. If you're going to destroy a sunrise tech ecosystem under the guise of public good, ban the actual killers first, or admit this was just a targeted, revenue-grabbing hit job. This wasn't a regulatory move to safeguard citizens; it was a devastating revenue-grabbing hit job that deliberately leaves the door wide open for illegal offshore rackets backed by powerful pockets. Absolute circus.

Imagine running a business for 10 years, collecting and paying 18% GST exactly as required. A decade later, a "clarification" arrives saying the correct rate was actually 28% all along. Now you're told to pay the additional 10% GST for the last 10 years, retrospectively. That's essentially what happened in the RMG case. Whatever your view on the industry itself, retrospective tax demands arising from later "clarifications" should concern every business in India.

TOI Edit Page : Law & Lemonade Question is, can an industry that never earned even ₹25,000cr in a year, pay up 2.5 lakh crores? What good is a fine if it can’t be paid? timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

I won’t comment on RMG. But, retrospective taxation kills the business environment and entrepreneurial spirit, it should be avoided at all costs. It will hurt the country in long run.

Three punches in a row. First, GST on online gaming jumped to 28% on deposits. Dream11 took the hit and rebuilt the business. Then the government banned real-money gaming. They took the hit again and pivoted to sports and stocks. Today, the courts upheld retrospective GST — paying tax on years of past operations under rules that didn't exist at the time. No company survives a third punch like that. It will wipe out the whole industry. @harshjain85 and the @Dream11 team built something super special. They complied with every rule, always looked after their users, absorbed every increase, and never asked for sympathy. Just kept building. What got upheld today doesn't punish bad actors. It punishes builders. The silence on Twitter is the most depressing part of all this. I really hope the government reconsiders — there is still a way to save this industry and the people who built it.

THE supreme court has upheld the 28%GST on Online Gaming fantasy sports ,and real money gaming platform in india The court ruled that when real money is involved in any game, it can be treated similarly to betting or gambling for taxation purposes Simply calling a game skill based” will not exempt it from GST. THIS decision is Major setback for companies like DREAM11 and Gameskraft Earlier, these platforms argued that GST should apply only to the platform fee or commission. However, the court has now clarified that 28% GST will be charged on the entire entry amount or prize pool. The Supreme Court also set aside previous rulings in favor of Gameskraft and accepted appeals filed by the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments. Another important point is that state governments may now introduce stricter regulations or even bans on online money gaming platforms in the future. This ruling could significantly impact gaming companies, user participation costs, and the overall online gaming industry in India. Skill based fantasy gaming ko betting ke saath compare karna sahi nahi hai. Dream11 jaise platforms ne cricket fans ko ek naya experience diya hai ban nahi proper regulation hona chahiye. Your Thoughts? 👀

Regulation, not bans, can protect online gamers @KartiPC thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/r…

Illegal betting operator laughing in comment section Regulation is solution for these illegal betting apps which are increased after proga and domestic legal apps shutdown See this video 👇

Many people believe that the ban on fantasy sports is one of the reasons behind the decline in IPL viewership. If that’s true, then just imagine the situation for women’s cricket matches, where engagement is already much lower. #IPL #WomensCricket #dream11 #IPL2026Viewership

Do not overanalyse this. It is a direct result of the fantasy gaming ban.

बैन के बावजूद चल रहे illegal betting apps युवाओं की जिंदगी से सीधे-सीधे खिलवाड़ कर रहे हैं... इसलिए इस पोस्ट को देख रहे, आप तमाम लोगों से मेरी गुजारिश है इस मुद्दे पर आप भी अपनी आवाज उठाएं... ताकि जल्दी ये पूरी तरह बैन हो सके। अपने पसंदीदा इंफ्लूएंसर्स , क्रिएटर, को भी इस मुद्दे को उठाने को कहें।

देश में real money fantasy ऐप्स बैन हैं, लेकिन फिर ये सब कैसे चल रहा है? Thar Roxx, Baleno, iPhone देने के नाम पर youth ट्रैप किए जा रहे हैं UPI के जरिए इन वेबसाइट पर पैसे deposit भी हो रहे मतलब ये illegal काम छिपकर नहीं, खुलकर हो रहा है.... कार्रवाई करने वाले अधिकारी मंत्री कहां हैं? @DelhiPolice @AshwiniVaishnaw जी, थोड़ा ध्यान दीजिए....

Worst decision was banning Dream11. People are now betting on offshore apps, and the money outflow is 2–3x higher than with Dream11. The government has lost revenue , jobs, and the original purpose remains unsolved.

MI was finished the day Rohit Sharma was removed as captain. Never recovered from it.
