Mint Explainer: Fixing the mess in India's online gaming
The Centre has kicked off efforts to make clear rules for online gaming and e-sports, and has brought them under the Ministry of Electronics and IT and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, respectively. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has taken note of the concerns about online gaming, referring to “violence abetting video games, addiction to it, and consequential financial loss". Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Karnataka adopted laws to prohibit online games, while some like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh have accepted the Public Gaming Act with amendments. Similarly, the Madras High Court had struck down the Tamil Nadu law banning online games like rummy and poker.
