We need to formulate a structured gaming law that allows players to enjoy the thrills of online gaming responsibly, safely, transparently and securely
The government has constituted a committee to examine issues related to online gaming. The committee will make recommendations for promulgation of an ordinance to regulate the sector. EGF has already designed and implemented its own code of conduct. The way forward is to formulate a structured gaming law that allows players to enjoy the thrills of online games responsibly, safely, transparently and securely. It will also provide a secure and trustworthy environment. For the players, the industry and government, it is important to develop a regulatory framework defined by progressive policies to monitor and mitigate the possibility of irresponsible gaming and to promote healthy gaming habits.
