The digital entertainment landscape has undergone significant transformation, offering consumers unprecedented control over their entertainment choices. However, this shift has also raised concerns about consumer safety, particularly in the realms of social media, over-the-top (OTT) platforms and online gaming. Online gaming is a sector which has shown tremendous growth within the media and entertainment (M&E) sector, and has gained substantial traction in India. According to an EY report, the gaming community in India comprises 42.5 crore individuals, with the online real money game (RMG) sub-segment accounting for over nine crore gamers and 82.8% of the market share. The unique appeal of online RMG platforms lies in their ability to offer entertainment while providing opportunities for monetary gain.
