In 2016, the population of India was 1.324 billion. If the government regulates online gambling and only a very small percentage of the population plays, the government will make a lot of money in taxes.
Currently, a lot of illegal gambling activity is happening in India so they are just trying to reduce that percentage and also the government can make some tax money from it. Indian government very popular for the high taxes so I expect it will be a very huge amount of tax they may add for all the winning amount and which may indirectly force people to choose to gamble illegally or go to crypto gambling sites which are not regulated for the taxes to reduct from the winning amount.
The tax should be a reasonable amount then only people may be ready to pay it because they risk their hard earned money to play these games so the government shouldn't ask for a huge amount of tax.
If you are thinking your country as a selfless country that has nothing to do for controlling this illegal activity, so listen, brother this isnt only India, rather many other countries as well that has got maximum illegal activities running under the law and mostly under the nose of politicians. They cant control it so you. But we really are hopeful for the best results you people could make.
