2026-27 state circuits — a status read.
The desk tracks regulator notices in seven major Indian states for any change to the rummy regulatory environment. The 2026-27 circuit is live; three states have a deadline within the next ninety days.
Status by state
The desk treats the following states as material for the 2026-27 circuit. The status is a desk read at publication date; readers should confirm against the regulator's own page.
Tamil Nadu — restricted
The TN Gaming Act remains restrictive for online real-money rummy. The desk treats TN as restricted at the time of writing.
Andhra Pradesh — restricted, under challenge
The AP Gaming Act, 1974, treats most card games as gambling. State high court challenges have not reached final disposition.
Telangana, Karnataka, Odisha, Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland — operator-policy variants
Each carries localised restrictions. The desk publishes per-operator acceptance in its reviews ledger.
How the desk tracks the circuit
The desk reads each state regulator's website once per quarter and re-reads the relevant T&Cs page for each operator the desk reviews at the same cadence. The desk does not file legal opinions on any operator's standing under a state act.
State-by-state operator listing
The per-operator per-state listing is a piece of the reviews ledger. The desk does not maintain a separate table here.
