Colab Platforms has welcomed the Government of India’s landmark move to officially recognise and promote E-sports through the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025. This development is seen as pivotal in shaping India into a global leader in the fast-growing digital gaming ecosystem.
On August 20,2025, the Lok Sabha cleared the Online Gaming Bill, providing a structured framework to ban real-money gambling platforms while distinguishing E-sports as a legitimate sport. The Bill includes guidelines for hosting tournaments, setting up training academies, and initiating research centres to support innovation and career development in gaming.
This recognition offers India’s E-sports ecosystem a chance to expand responsibly, ensuring skill-based growth rather than money-driven concerns such as addiction and fraud.
Colab Platforms, a leader in tech, sports, and gaming, has expressed strong support for this government initiative. The company emphasises its role in nurturing talent by providing digital platforms that focus on skill, discipline, and structured competition. Its initiatives aim to empower gamers to showcase their talent and gain recognition on larger national and international stages.
