Uttarakhand approves new gambling bill with stricter penalties, replacing a 1867 law.
The Uttarakhand cabinet has approved the Public Gambling Prevention Bill, 2026, to replace the 1867 colonial-era law with stricter penalties for illegal gambling.
Offenses like public gambling could lead to up to three months in jail or a ₹5,000 fine, while running a gambling den may result in up to five years in prison and a ₹1 lakh fine.
Organized or syndicate-style gambling could incur three to five years in prison and fines up to ₹10 lakh.
The bill, now heading to the state assembly, aims to deter public and organized gambling, particularly illegal betting, and reflects broader efforts to modernize state laws.
