E-Gaming Federation Partners with Social & Media Matters to Launch Responsible Gaming Awareness Campaign

The
E-Gaming
Federation
(EGF),
India’s
foremost
skill-gaming
industry
body
has
partnered
with
Social
&
Media
Matters
to
launch
a
public
awareness
campaign
to
promote
responsible
gaming
practices.
Designed
to
enhance
online
safety
and
create
awareness
around
responsible
play,
the
initiative
will
roll
out
interactive
workshops
across
30
colleges
in
five
Indian
states
including
Tamil
Nadu,
Karnataka,
Andhra
Pradesh,
Maharashtra,
and
Uttar
Pradesh.
The
tailored
workshop
reiterates
EGF’s
commitment
to
player
protection
and
addresses
the
rising
need
for
responsible
gaming
literacy
among
young
adults
engaged
in
digital
entertainment. 

Mr.
Anuraag
Saxena,
CEO,
of
EGF
highlighted,
“Responsible
gaming
is
the
cornerstone
of
a
thriving
online
gaming
industry.
We
have
always
emphasized
the
importance
of
enabling
and
facilitating
responsible
gaming
that
promotes
fair
and
transparent
play.
This
initiative
is
a
significant
step
that
goes
beyond
mere
awareness;
it
equips
players
with
tools
to
make
safer,
healthier
choices.
It
is
our
proactive
approach
to
drive
impactful
conversations
and
empower
young
Bhartiya
adults
with
the
knowledge
to
enjoy
a
safer
online
gaming
experience.”

The
Responsible
Gaming
initiative
includes
the
development
of
an
interactive
module
focusing
on
awareness
and
education
of
healthy
gaming
habits
and
setting
limits
among
college
students
who
are
significant
users
of
online
gaming
platforms.
A
key
aspect
of
the
program
is
to
introduce
students
to
the
concept
of
responsible
gaming,
exploring
the
best
international
practices
and
principles
that
promote
moderation.

 
In
addition,
by
ensuring
students
understand
responsible
gaming
practices,
the
program
will
help
students
learn
to
identify
the
threshold
of
problem
gaming
and
understand
the
importance
of
balancing
gaming
with
other
life
activities.
The
module
will
highlight
broader
online
safety
concerns,
particularly
for
minors,
by
encouraging
the
use
of
parental
controls
and
industry-led
compliance
standards. 

The
initiative
will
initially
roll
out
in
Tamil
Nadu
followed
by
other
states.
Each
90-minute
workshop
will
include
engaging
quizzes,
games,
and
giveaways
to
create
an
interactive
and
memorable
learning
experience.
Participants
will
also
receive
practical
dos
and
don’ts
for
responsible
gaming.
Upon
completion
of
the
workshop,
all
participants
will
be
awarded
a
certificate
of
completion
recognizing
their
commitment
to
responsible
gaming.
