The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) on Wednesday notified the much-awaited rules providing the procedural framework to operationalise the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, which will also facilitate the creation of an online gaming authority.
Most online games — if they are not real money games which are already and explicitly banned under the provisions — will not mandatorily need to be registered or determined, IT Secretary S Krishnan said.
