Google has announced plans to permit all types of real-money games on the Play Store in India, following the completion of a year-long pilot program. The move is likely to boost skill-based gaming companies, which are currently struggling under the government's recent 28% GST levy on the real-money gaming segment. Starting October 1, the GST Council will impose a 28% tax on the full face value of bets placed on online gaming and casinos.
