A day after the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court rebuked Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli for endorsing fantasy sports which include bets online, the Tamil Nadu government has made an ordinance to ban online gaming activities immediately.
Tamil Nadu has joined states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in stopping online gaming activities following numerous suicides reported across the states recently. The lockdown phase from March has witnessed an unexpected spike in online gaming activities as cricketers are also seen promoting fantasy cricket brands and online gaming.
