Nazara Technologies, Delta Corp share prices plunge up to 7% amid proposed Online Gaming Bill 2025
Online gaming platform Nazara Technologies and casino operator Delta Corp share price fell up to 6 per cent in Wednesday's trading session after the Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will introduce stringent regulations on online money games in the upcoming Online Gaming Bill, 2025. Nazara Technologies share price were down 7.78 per cent to ₹ 1,308.70 apiece on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Delta Corp share price fell as much 6 per cent to ₹ 89.99 on August 20. The proposed Bill aims to ban individuals or organizations from providing online money games or related services in India. It would also prohibit advertisements for such games and restrict financial transactions associated with them, with banks and financial institutions potentially barred from processing payments to these platforms. If enacted, the Online Gaming Bill, 2025 would mark a major regulatory shift in India's online gaming industry, carrying significant consequences for platforms that operate real-money formats. The legislation has been designed with an emphasis on addressing mental health issues among users, especially in games that involve financial rewards. It also seeks to mitigate risks of money laundering and fraudulent activities identified within the online gaming sector. This development follows growing regulatory attention on digital gaming platforms, as authorities warn that unchecked operations could lead to financial misconduct and social challenges. The new framework is anticipated to enforce stricter compliance standards, enhance transparency, and provide stronger safeguards for players while preventing platform misuse. In a stock exchange filing, Nazara Technologies clarified that it has no direct involvement in the RMG (real money gaming) segment. According to its Q1 FY26 results, RMG made no contribution to either revenue or EBITDA. The company said that its only indirect exposure comes from a 46.07% stake in Moonshine Technologies (PokerBaazi). Since Nazara neither holds a majority stake nor has control, Moonshine's revenue is not consolidated into Nazara's financial statements and does not affect its reported revenue or EBITDA. Nazara further noted that Moonshine's contribution to profit after tax (PAT), recorded under share of profit/loss of an associate, was negative in Q1 FY26.

Nazara Tech, Delta Corp Among Gaming Stocks Sink 5% After Cabinet Okays Online Gaming Bill
Last Updated: Gaming stocks in India, like Nazara Technologies and Delta Corp, dropped over 5% after the Cabinet approved a bill to ban all real money games. News18 Gaming Stocks In India: Nazara Technologies, Delta Corp and OnMobile among gaming stocks in India fall over 5 per cent intraday on Wednesday, after the Cabinet cleared the online gaming bill, suggesting a complete ban on all real money games, including those based on skill. Nazara Technologies shares sank 5 per cent intraday to Rs 1,332 apiece, against the previous day close at Rs 1,399.70 apiece. Meanwhile, Delta Corp shares fell 2 per cent to Rs 86.61 apiece, against the previous day close at Rs 92.88 apiece. According to sources, the proposed legislation introduces strict provisions for penalty, punishment, and even banning of online games involving betting or gambling. Importantly, celebrities will not be allowed to endorse or promote betting-related gaming apps, with legal action planned against violators. The bill, which is expected to be tabled in the Lok Sabha today, aims to draw a clear line between entertainment-focused online games and those involving money and wagering. Normal online games will not face restrictions and may even be considered as part of global Olympiads in the next 10 years. On the taxation front, the government is also exploring the possibility of bringing betting-related gaming apps under the GST category of 'sin goods," which could attract a levy as high as 40%, the sources added. The move is part of the Centre's broader effort to regulate the fast-growing online gaming industry, prevent misuse, and ensure safeguards against financial fraud and other unlawful activities. India's online skill gaming industry, valued at over Rs 2 lakh crore and supporting more than 2 lakh jobs, is at risk of collapse if the proposed Draft Gaming Bill, 2025—which seeks to ban all real-money games including skill-based ones—is passed, industry bodies have warned. In a joint representation to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the All India Gaming Federation (AIGF), E-Gaming Federation (EGF) and Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) urged urgent intervention, arguing that such a move would not only destroy over 400 companies but also push crores of Indian players towards illegal offshore gambling operators. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
