Lok sabha has passed online gaming bill 2025 What is e sports which government is promoting
Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav on Monday introduced a bill 2025 related to the encouragement and regulation of online gaming in the Lok Sabha. Under this proposed law, e-Sports, Educational Games and social gaming are organized in an organized manner while money-based online games will be tightened.
Difference between e-sport and money games
The government has defined e-sports as skill-based competitive sports that are played under rules and standards in virtual erina. It also includes professional tournaments and competitions.
On the other hand, sports in which money or precious items are put in place are considered money games. That is, e-sports will be seen as sports and competition while sports like gambling will be completely banned.
The bill provides for creating an independent regulatory authority that will give direction to the policies of the online gaming sector, promote development and monitor compliance with all rules. This will also have the power to stop the operation, advertisement or promotion of any online money game. Whether the game is running on mobile, computer or internet platform.
What is special in the bill
At the same time, let us know that under this bill, banks and financial institutions will be prevented from taking real-mani gaming. Also, advertisements of such games will also be completely banned. At the same time, e-sports and skill-based non-economic games will be promoted. In addition, strict action will be taken on without registration or illegal platforms. The government aims to create the same legal framework in this region so that confusion and disputes in different states can be reduced.
