Jio Platforms has entered into a strategic partnership with Zupee under which Zupee will distribute its content to users of Jio phones.

Khaitan & Co acted as legal counsel to Jio Platforms.

The core team consisted of Surbhi Kejriwal (Partner), Kevin Shah (Principal Associate), Sweta Rao (Senior Associate) and Niyanta Munyal (Associate)

Zupee is seeking to capture the non-metro market with Jio’s low-priced 4G and 5G handsets.

Zupee offers online real money gaming / gaming platform including games such as skill based ludo games and trivia games.

The gambling laws were introduced before the emergence of the internet. Therefore, the provisions of these laws do not expressly contemplate online gambling. This sector is mainly governed by judicial precedents.
