Government amends rules to place online gaming under MeitY

Current Context: An amendment to the Allocation of Business (AOB) Rules has been approved by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, placing online gaming under the Ministry of Electronic and Information Technology (MeitY).

• The Department of Sports, a division of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS), has been designated as the nodal organization for e-sports.
• The government's choice is consistent with its plan to support the expansion of the Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) industry and turn India into a center for online gaming.
• MeitY is getting ready to launch public consultations and publish the guidelines for online gambling intermediaries. These regulations will also promote innovation to eliminate the possibility of any illicit material or services and provide investors, businesses, and consumers with clarity and confidence.
• The majority of the current legal guidelines for online gambling are based on Entry 34 of the State list of the Constitution, which is dedicated to "Betting & Gambling." Online gaming and gambling or betting are currently outlawed in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
• The AOB rules specify which Ministry or department is in charge of making the law, carrying it out after it is enacted, establishing the rules, and developing the policy for the matter indicated next to its name.
