CCI Closes Investigation into Google Over Real Money Games Following New Legislation
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) closed its investigation into Google's alleged restrictions on Real Money Games (RMG) on Google Play, following a 2022 complaint by Winzo Games Pvt Ltd. The probe, initiated in 2024, was halted due to Google's commitments to address concerns and the enactment of the Online Gaming Act in May 2026, which prohibits online money gaming services. The CCI noted regulatory uncertainty and legislative changes made continuing the inquiry unnecessary, as the law now governs the RMG market.
