The Indian online gaming market has seen an exponential growth over the last couple of years, driven by the pandemic in part, the general willingness to pay-to-play, affordable internet and the availability of faster smartphones with enhanced gaming capabilities. The online gaming is expected to grow and hit US$5 billion by 2025, with the number of gamers expected to hit 500 million by 2025.
In an attempt to keep pace with this rapid growth and to safeguard interests of online gaming enthusiasts, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has proposed several amendments to India’s technology law framework. These proposals include the establishment of self-regulatory bodies to scrutinize online games, mandating KYC verification for gamers, and setting up a tiered grievance redressal structure to deal with user complaints.
Join us for this interactive webinar in which partners from JSA will discuss the current and proposed regulatory regime; the challenges and opportunities; as well as provide practical tips on how to mitigate and manage the regulatory framework. This webinar will also cover the following key industry issues:
