The Nepal government has ordered internet service providers to shut down access to betting apps and websites across the country. This directive comes as part of the authorities' efforts to combat illegal online gambling activities that have surged in recent times. The government expressed concerns over the social and financial harms caused by unregulated betting platforms, which operate without proper licenses or oversight. Internet service providers have been instructed to block these services promptly to curb their accessibility and protect consumers. This move reflects Nepal’s stance on controlling online gambling and enforcing legal compliance within its digital space.
