Industry bodies cannot be SROs for online gaming: Rajeev Chandrasekhar
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that industry bodies cannot become self-regulatory organisations (SROs) to regulate online gaming. The minister said that SRO will comprise representatives of children, parents, players, government, and gaming intermediaries.
The minister said, “It is wrong to assume that an industry body will automatically become an SRO (self-regulatory organisation). Any industry body will not be SRO. It will be a body representing all the stakeholders.”
The government has proposed a self-regulatory mechanism to regulate online gaming companies under the draft rules for online gaming. The minister expects new rules to be notified by January end. All gaming companies that can be allowed under the new rules will need to register with SRO.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar has already held extensive consultation on draft rules for online gaming with parents, students and educationists - over concerns, expectations, and suggestions on fine-tuning, quite literally, the ‘rules of the game’. Online gaming companies will be covered under the new IT rules that were issued in 2021 for social media platforms.
