Efforts for online gaming self-regulation in India hit a roadblock as the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology faces challenges in the approval process. Despite initial plans, only one application for self-regulatory bodies was received and deemed unsatisfactory. With uncertainties surrounding the selection of suitable bodies and delays in establishing oversight, the future regulatory framework for the online gaming sector remains in question. The government is contemplating intervention to ensure impartiality and prevent industry influence. This setback comes amid ongoing discussions and immediate actions against reported illegal betting apps, underscoring the complexity of shaping effective regulations for the industry.
