The state government is expected to restrict or entirely ban online games following committee recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
India.- A committee\u00a0set up by chief minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin<\/a>\u00a0to investigate the impact of online games has recommended the government ban or at least limit the activity <\/p>\n\n\n\n In February last year,\u00a0deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam<\/a>\u00a0introduced laws that punished online gambling with up to two years in prison or a fine of up to Rs10,000 (US$ 137.15). However, in August 2021,\u00a0the Madras High Court<\/a>\u00a0overturned the legislation after online operators filed a petition. The Tamil Nadu government went to the High Court in December to challenge that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However,\u00a0since a ban on all online gaming faces legal hurdles<\/strong>, it’s believed the state may instead impose access restrictions to limit the time online games can be played, such as once a day or week. The amount that users can spend may also be limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The state government is expected to restrict or entirely ban online games following committee recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":20779,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Tamil Nadu state government is considering a ban or significant restrictions on online games, following recommendations from a committee.
