New Law To Prevent Gambling |Odisha Assembly || ଜୁଆ ଖେଳ ରୋକିବା କୁ କଡ଼ା ଆଇନ୍ // ଜୁଆ ଖେଳୁଥିଲେ ସାବଧାନ.

The Odisha Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 has been passed by the state assembly — under this law, gambling offences no longer carry jail term. Instead, offenders will face fines ranging between ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 75,000 depending on the severity.

Despite the legal shift, law-enforcement continues crackdowns on illegal gambling — especially where large money, dens, or organized networks are involved:

In a recent raid in Balangir district (Kadobasa village, Satnamipada), police arrested 11 people from a gambling den and seized cash, mobile phones, and vehicles. Several suspects reportedly fled.

In another operation, a makeshift gambling spot inside a forest in Jharsuguda district (under Tileimal Panchayat) was busted — three arrested, cash and playing cards seized; some participants escaped.

In Puri district, the local police — under an initiative called “Operation Chakra” — arrested 14 individuals and seized ₹7.71 lakh cash, gambling tokens/cards, vehicles, in a crackdown at Khadipada village. Police are searching for the main organiser.

Back around festival time in Ganjam district, more than 300 people were arrested across multiple raids over alleged gambling during celebrations; over ₹12.98 lakh cash, dozens of phones, vehicles, were seized.


There have been disturbing reports tied to gambling/online-game addiction in Odisha. In one case, a 16-year-old girl from Rayagada district died by suicide after her family reportedly withheld ₹4 lakh “winnings” she claimed she had earned from an online gaming platform.

In another tragic case in Jagatsinghpur district, a 21-year-old college student apparently killed his parents and sister — reportedly because they opposed his habit of playing online games.


These incidents underline that gambling and online gaming addiction — especially involving money — continue to cause serious social harm.


Gambling offences no longer carry jail term; only fines (₹ 5,000–₹ 75,000) for violators. Despite relaxed law for minor offences, police still raid big gambling dens, seize cash/vehicles, punish organised gambling.
Law aims to reduce burden on courts and avoid short jail terms for minor gamblers. Hardcore gamblers and organizers remain under threat; social damage (addiction, financial loss) continues — sometimes with tragic outcomes.
Offers a “less punitive, more administrative” approach. Critics argue less fear of jail might embolden more people; fines may be seen as the “cost of business.”
