Abstract
Although the Indian constitution lays down many regulations to safeguard the privacy and freedom of its citizens, there are still some areas which require the intervention of the government to basically ensure that the interests of the parties are preserved. Esports and games ' underlying technologies are some recent trends that pose concerns like anti-trust, corruption, privacy rights, etc. Currently, there are many organisations that claim to govern the Esports industry but they cover different aspects and as a result, they lack cohesion. The International Olympics Committee is currently considering the idea of including an Esports competition in 2024 games. This gives a rise to exigent demand of one single statutory governing body to oversee the Esports industry to preserve the legitimacy of the sports. The article aims to throw light on why there is a need to bring this industry under a statutory body and what are the major challenges which are faced by India in creating a ‘safe and free for all’ Esports industry.
