Do online lotteries come under the purview of gambling?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 29 September 2021 This query is : Resolved 
I understand that some states see lotteries as gambling while others don't.

The lotteries regulation act says it can only be run by states for it to legitimate but private lotteries exist as well, both offline and online.

Since lotteries are a game of chance do the gambling provisions govern them, especially the online ones? Thanks in advance.

It is not a legal query. What is your query? state full facts.

My query is whether online lotteries are governed by the same laws as gambling and gaming laws as clear from the title. Thanks.

Local (State) laws apply to your query, consult a local prudent lawyer.
However, generally gambling is illegal.
