Online Gaming Bill 2025 passed in the parliament

The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 passed by the Parliament.

The Bill takes a balanced approach – promoting what’s good, prohibiting what’s harmful for middle-class and youth.

🎮Online gaming is an important sector of Digital Bharat.

Three segments of online games:

1️⃣e-Sports - Training-based, often played between teams

2️⃣Online Social Games - Fun, educational, community-based

3️⃣Online Money Games - involve financial stakes, addictive, and harmful

e-Sports PROMOTED :

Just like cricket or football, e-Sports require strategy, reflexes & teamwork.

👉 Bill gives legal recognition to e-Sports.

👉 Government will launch schemes & programs to promote them

Online Social Games PROMOTED :

Think Angry Birds, card games, casual brain games.

👉 Recognized as a safe way to interact & learn.

👉 Government to support game makers & creators – part of India’s creator economy & software growth

Online Money Games → PROHIBITED

❌Youth and children addicted, families ruined.

❌Massive frauds, credit card debt, even suicides.

❌Money laundering & terror financing concerns.

❌Misleading celeb ads giving false legitimacy

Balanced approach of the Bill:

✅ Players = Victims (no punishment).

❌ Service providers, advertisers, fund transfer platforms = Penalized

Why this Bill?

🔹Crores of families destroyed by online money games.

🔹Middle-class savings wiped out.

🔹Thousands of complaints & grievances from across India.

Government chose safety of families over any other interests

When it comes to choosing between society’s welfare & government revenue, PM @narendramodi Ji has always chosen middle-class families.

This Bill follows the same principle. It’s about protecting society while encouraging e-Sports & online social game creators as engines of innovation.

‘Third gender’ category in job application forms

The Department of Social Security & Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) in a letter to all Departments reiterated that every government department must modify existing examination rules and make necessary provisions in both online and offline application forms to recognize transgender persons as a distinct category, alongside male and female.

The move aims to bring the state’s recruitment process in line with the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, which prohibits discrimination against transgender persons in matters of employment.
