Liability Check
🕹️
Gaming platforms face dual risk: processing minors' data (age verification) and financial data (in-app purchases, fantasy payouts).
Why Gaming & Fantasy Sports is at Risk
Online gaming and fantasy sports platforms are under intense scrutiny. Section 9 bans behavioral monitoring and targeted advertising for minors. Real-money gaming platforms also collect PAN, bank details, and Aadhaar for KYC — making them likely SDFs (Significant Data Fiduciaries) requiring a DPO and periodic audits.
Common Violations
- 1.No age verification — assuming all users are 18+ without technical checks.
- 2.Behavioral profiling of players (play patterns, spending habits) for targeted in-game offers.
- 3.Sharing player data with advertising networks for cross-platform retargeting.
The Immediate Fix
Implement **mandatory age gating** with technical verification. Disable all tracking and ad targeting for users under 18. Appoint a DPO if you process KYC data at scale.
