India's Supreme Court rejects Junglee Games review plea against Tamil Nadu, Karnataka online gaming bans

India's Supreme Court dismissed ten review petitions, including one from Junglee Games, challenging its May 27, 2026 judgment that upheld Tamil Nadu and Karnataka laws banning online games played for stakes. The October 15 ruling leaves the May judgment in force, with a curative petition the only remaining judicial remedy.

• Court dismissed the petitions without an open-court hearing and denied oral hearings
• May judgment upheld states' power to ban stake games, including rummy and poker
• Central online gaming law of 2025 has been in force since May 1, 2026
• A curative petition on narrow grounds is the only remaining remedy
