Gaming vs Trading: Double Standards?
Update: 2025-09-11
Description
India’s government rushed through a ban on online gaming, citing addiction, suicides, and financial losses of ₹15,000 crore a year. But what about lotteries, stock market speculation, or predatory digital lending—each causing far bigger losses and distress?
In this audio, Sucheta Dalal examines the uneven crackdown on risky behaviour:
- Online gaming banned overnight
- Lotteries continue under state patronage
- Derivatives trading thrives despite ₹1 lakh+ crore losses a year
- Easy digital loans push people into debt traps
Why are some forms of “gambling” banned while others are protected or ignored? And what does this say about India’s approach to financial distress?
