Online gaming firms urge govt to set clear code of conduct for sector
Nine months after the government notified new gaming rules, companies such as Dream Sports, Games 24×7, as well as industry associations, are seeking clarity on a code of conduct for the sector. The manner in which the notified rules will be implemented, a framework for responsible gaming and player protection, architecture on checking financial frauds, gaming certification, are some of the areas on which the industry needs a clear roadmap.
The need for such a roadmap is felt because the government has mandated self-regulatory organisation (SROs) like structure to certify what is a permissible online real money game.
