  • Legalization of Gambling on Outcomes of Sporting Events - a Farcical Solution to an Uncontrollable Problem?
    15 LEGALIZATION OF GAMBLING ON OUTCOMES OF SPORTING EVENTS - A FARCICAL SOLUTION TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE PROBLEM? Inakshi Jha*, Shantanu Dey** Through this paper, the authors seek to delineate the contentious issue of legalization of gambling on sporting events in India within the circumscribing limits of the thriving legislative framework. Adopting a sequential examination of the issue in hand, the authors having engaged in an exhaustive analysis of the Indian Gambling Laws endorsing the objectives of inclusivity proceed towards a comprehensive illustrative perusal of arguments espousing for and against the cause of the issue in hand. Sensitive to the ideological force guiding the movement for the Pro- Legalization Agenda, the paper in its latter half makes a concerted effort to propose constructive structural solutions for the concretization of the change argued for before concluding the matters clarifying the authors stance on the issue vis-à-vis underscoring the “Legislative Dynamism” argument. I. THE CONCEPT OF GAMBLING IN SPORTS IN THE CONTEMPORARY ERA- AN OVERVIEW In the modern world beleaguered by the ideologies of materialism and monetary gains, the concept of Gambling in Sporting Events has acquired unprecedented importance as a procedure guaranteeing quick money. * Inakshi Jha, 2nd Year B.A. LL.B.,(Hons.), NALSAR University of Law. ** Shantanu Dey 2nd Year B.A. LL.B., (Hons.), NALSAR University of Law.

  • The Art of Gambling and Its Related Laws in India
    © 2019 JETIR March 2019, Volume 6, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) The Art of Gambling and its Related Laws in India Sunil Hegde Assistant Professor, Department of Management, Center for Management Studies, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), Bangalore, India Email Id: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper initially begins by discussing about the term “Gambling”. Gambling may be described as betting, playing, or taking part in an operation that is a game of chance and not a talent contest, to gain a greater chunk of cash or just about any reward by placing bets with the help of certain amount of funds. Further, the paper moves on discussing about the statutory provisions dealing with the art of gambling in India. The Public Gambling Act, 1867 is by far the most relevant law that controls betting, gambling or wagering in India. Wagering in India is limited to selective events such as lottery tickets and motor racing bets, but unregulated betting actually occurs unlawfully elsewhere. This form of betting results in different offences, such as bribery, trading on items apart from cash, redistribution of cash, etc. If we speak of legitimate gaming, it is among the key sources of income for the state in question. In India; Goa, Daman, and Sikkim are the main nations that have allowed gambling and gaming in casinos. KEYWORDS: Betting; Gambling; Public Gambling Act, 1867; Wagering. INTRODUCTION Underneath the Gambling Acts or legislations, the term ‘gambling’ isn't really specified. ‘Gambling's’ dictionary definition is, ‘to bet everything on a pre-emptive strike’, in a layman language, to take a risk.' Gambling doesn't really entail bets on a sporting event; matches of talent; and sports betting underneath the Gambling Laws and regulations[1].
