India has passed a bill banning money-based online games, leading to the suspension of such games by companies like Zupee, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, and MPL. The bill comes after concerns were raised about the impact of online gaming on the youth. MPL has announced the suspension of all money-based games following the passage of the bill in Parliament.
