In France, the new gambling regulator, l’Autorité nationale des Jeux (ANJ), now acts as a single body to oversee all forms of gambling in the country, including online gambling, casinos, betting on horse racing and lottery games, replacing the Autorité nationale de régulation des jeux en ligne (ARJEL) which was only responsible for regulating France’s online gambling market.Īccording to Isabelle Falque Pierrotin, ANJ chairwoman, “The ANJ must rethink regulation … and combine support and control for the operators in France.” The KJM ensures compliance with Germany’s minor-protection regulations, which are anchored in the State Treaty on Youth Media Protection (JMStV) and stipulate that adult-only content should not be accessed by minors online. Luckily, the German Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz (KJM) has already vetted and published a list of age verification vendors to help organizations prevent minors from accessing age restricted content. Starting in July 2021, online gaming and betting operators must ensure they have the necessary steps and restrictions in place to prevent underage users from accessing their platforms. Germany is toughening its stance on the protection of minors. According to Krafton, Battlegrounds Mobile will need you to provide one of your parents’ or guardians’ mobile number “to confirm that you are legally eligible to play the game.” Now, India does not have a law where one requires parental guidance to play games, but given how PUBG Mobile last year faced huge backlash for “promoting” violence in children, Krafton is mandating parents’ permission for the game.Some important changes are coming into law in 2021 that affect how online casinos and gaming sites should manage their Know Your Customer (KYC) and age verification processes. To be able to play Battlegrounds Mobile India, you, someone who is under 18 by law, will need to get express consent from parents or guardians.
There are three aspects to how Battlegrounds Mobile will deal with players under 18 in India. That is just about the privacy policy, but Krafton has planned a robust age restriction system to deal with underage players. Krafton has outlined in its privacy policy for Battlegrounds Mobile India that the game will not “knowingly collect use or share any personal information for those who are under 18 years of age”, but it may ask these players to get certain permissions, after which Battlegrounds Mobile may be able to collect user data. One of those changes is how minors - people under 18 - will play the Battlegrounds Mobile India.
