Age guidance

The egame newsroom is for readers 18 and over. The desk does not accept coverage tips from readers under 18. The desk's mobile install coverage is also restricted to readers who meet their local age policy.

Jurisdiction and regional rules

Coverage of esports is global by definition. The desk follows tournament filings as the organiser has published them. Where a country's regulator restricts a related consumer surface, the desk acknowledges the restriction in the relevant coverage without recommending a workaround.

  • India: Public Gambling Act 1867 plus state-level rules. The desk cites only what the regulator has stated on its own page.
  • EMEA: Varies by country. The desk names the regulator where the operator names it.
  • Americas: State-by-state. The desk names the licensing authority when the operator names it.
  • Asia-Pacific: The desk cites the local regulator only when the operator has identified the jurisdiction on its own page.

Free confidential help

If a reader has concerns about their own engagement with operator surfaces, free confidential help is reachable through the lines below. The desk does not endorse or oppose any of these services; it publishes them so readers under stress do not have to search.

  • BeGambleAware — UK and Ireland, free confidential support.
  • Gambling Therapy — global, free online counselling.
  • Your local helpline — the desk recommends saving the helpline of the country the reader lives in.

Editor's responsibility statement

The editor of record at egame newsroom is named on the /owner/ page. Editorial decisions are the editor's, not the operator's. The desk publishes corrections within 48 hours and keeps the original wording visible alongside the correction.
