The recovery process for online game lost money depends on the chosen platform and the determination of whether the activity qualifies as gambling or fraud. Section 318 defines cheating through dishonest inducement when a gaming platform displays false winnings and alters game outcomes. You can request a police investigation by filing a complaint under Section 173 of the BNSS 2023. According to Section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 consumers can file complaints with the Consumer Commission when platforms breach contract terms or practice unfair trade methods. The BSA 2023 Section 61 and Section 63 establish electronic transaction records as valid evidence which courts can use in legal proceedings.

You can lodge a cyber crime complaint with the cyber cell and report the matter on the national cyber crime portal. You may also send legal notice to the gaming platform and seek refund. Early reporting increases the chances of recovery. Legal assistance can help in pursuing the matter effectively. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
