Satta Matka has deep roots nationwide in India. Even if it has been outlawed in the country, most States have illegal gambling dens running in full swing; the people associated with it are earning and feeding their families. Although the Central Government of India has intervened time and time again and tried its best to bust such businesses, solving this problem is easier said than done. Therefore, it would not be a simple task to legalize matka gambling the way the lottery has been legalized. Plans can quickly backfire and operations can go haywire. Nevertheless, the Central Government intends to bring in some form of system to legalize satta matka, formalize the people associated with it, and offer States more control over the trade.
