Summary: A source can be reputable and still be the wrong record for a claim. This watchlist helps readers match common rummy and online-gaming questions to the official or primary source most likely to answer them.
Start with the claim, not the headline
The correct source depends on the question. A MeitY rules page can explain the regulatory framework, but it cannot replace a game-specific determination. A Supreme Court GST judgment can settle tax questions without deciding every state-law or product-registration issue.
The records map
| Claim to verify | First source to check | Useful supporting source | Main caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the central rules require | MeitY Gazette and official rules page | PIB release or explainer | Check notification and commencement dates |
| Whether a named game was determined or registered | OGAI order, certificate, or official public record | Provider disclosure quoting the record | Do not rely only on marketing language |
| What the Supreme Court decided | Judgment PDF on the Supreme Court domain | Reputable legal or business reporting | Separate the holding from commentary |
| Whether GST policy changed | GST Council, CBIC, Finance Ministry, or court record | Company tax disclosure | A relief request is not relief granted |
| Whether a listed company changed strategy or finances | Exchange filing and company investor-relations page | Reputable financial reporting | Check the exact entity and filing date |
| Whether a complaint or appeal was resolved | OGAI or appellate order | Dated provider response | Filing is not the same as outcome |
Central rules and OGAI records
MeitY’s official PROG page is the starting directory for the Act, final rules, OGAI constitution notice, enforcement appointment, and authorised-investigator notice. PIB’s explainer adds a readable description of determination, registration, user safety, complaints, and appeals.
Neither source should be stretched into proof of a game-specific outcome when no order or certificate is cited.

Court and GST records
For the legacy online gaming GST dispute, the Supreme Court’s 27 May 2026 judgment is the primary record. A newsroom summary can help readers navigate it, but the judgment controls questions about what the Court actually held.
The safest editorial rule is to keep a new GST Council, CBIC, Finance Ministry, or court document separate from industry requests and estimates until an official outcome is published.

What to save with every claim
- Exact title of the record.
- Issuing body and publication date.
- Product, provider, company, or case named.
- Relevant order, certificate, filing, or case number.
- Later update that confirms, changes, stays, or replaces the record.
- Clear note when no current public record was found.
Reader bottom line
An official-source watchlist does not make uncertain claims certain. It makes the uncertainty visible and tells readers what evidence would change the story.

FAQ
Is a PIB explainer enough to prove a specific game is registered?
No. Use the exact OGAI certificate, order, or public record for a product-specific claim.
Can a company statement replace an exchange filing?
For a listed-company material claim, the exchange filing and investor-relations record are the stronger starting points.
What should an article say when no current record is found?
It should state that clearly and avoid turning the absence of evidence into a positive or negative conclusion.
