The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, aims to foster India's game development sector while curbing addictive online money games. It distinguishes between e-sports and real money gaming, promoting the former through supportive policies and regulations. The bill targets game providers and advertisers of restricted games, not individual players, to protect citizens from financial distress.
