<h1>Government to enforce immediate ban on real-money online games upon presidential notification while drafting regulator and rules</h1> The government plans to bring the Online Gaming Bill's prohibition of real-money games into effect immediately upon presidential notification, ahead of other provisions, while concurrently drafting rules to establish a regulatory authority and frameworks to promote e-sports and social gaming. The legislation bans money-based games and contemplates notification of enforcement authorities without separate rules for the prohibition. Operators and sponsors will be responsible for assessing compliance. Justifications cited include widespread social and public-health harms from money gaming, weighed against limited direct employment impacts and potential redirection of investment toward other sectors.
