rocketgamegambling.com is committed to operating in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing online gambling in India. We maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency in our operations.
1. Legal Framework:
Online gambling in India is primarily regulated at the state level. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 is the central law, but many states have enacted their own legislation. Skill-based games are generally permissible, while games of chance are subject to stricter regulations in most states, with exceptions like Goa and Sikkim, which have regulated casinos. We constantly monitor changes to the legal landscape to ensure continued compliance.

We operate only in those Indian states where online skill-based gaming is permitted, or where we have obtained the necessary licenses or legal opinions to offer our services. Our licensing status is as follows:
