Online gaming companies on Tuesday (October 7, 2025) said the new online gaming law has not left them even an “avenue of functioning” and employees are being laid off.

“Our business is closed completely. Employees are laid-off. It is a huge issue for us,” senior advocate C.A. Sundaram and advocate Rohini Musa urged a Supreme Court Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K.V. Viswanathan for an early hearing.

The Bench deferred the case to November 4, after the Deepavali vacations, to give time for parties to complete their pleadings.
