Mizoram Online Lottery

Lottery Laws in Mizoram

Gambling, as a whole, is banned in India. The country discourages its citizens to take part in any type of game of chance. However, sports betting, horse race betting and the lottery have a great influence over Indian punters.

This is mainly because the laws governing gambling in India have certain loopholes and reliefs for the states. It allows the state governments to take the decision to either ban or legalise lottery or other gambling activities inside their respective boundaries. 

As a result, there are three states where gambling houses are legal and 13 states where the government lottery is active.

You will be happy to know that along with government paper lotteries, online lotteries can also be played in Mizoram. Government laws and regulations do not bar anyone from buying tickets online. However, there are a few things that one must know while buying tickets through any of the modes.

There are many online lottery websites that are based outside India and have managed to attract many punters towards their platforms. These websites allow people to buy tickets to some of the most promising and rewarding international lottery draws. As it is difficult to track anyone buying the tickets online, the Indian government decided to remain silent on this matter. Therefore, it is safe to interpret that online lottery sites are not banned in Mizoram. 

The law does not allow anyone from India to run an online lottery or gambling website. This is the reason why government lottery tickets are not sold online. However, there are some government-recommended websites where you can buy Mizoram State Lottery. Also, the government encourages people to make sure that the website they are buying tickets from is licensed and regulated. This ensures the security and safety of their money and personal information.

In 1987 the Directorate of State Lotteries was established which followed the legalisation of government lotteries in Mizoram. The authority is currently known as the Directorate of Institutional Finance and State Lottery, in short IF&SL, which regulates the fair conduct of lottery draws, approves and decides the schemes, draw schedule, cost and price of tickets and appoints vendors for selling the tickets.

The IF&SL allows tickets to be sold in other states where the lottery is not banned and allows the sale of other state lotteries, like Punjab and Sikkim. However, these tickets should only be sold offline in paper form and not online. Also, the state encourages people to buy tickets only through authorised vendors as there have been many incidents where fake tickets have been sold.
