To ensure real-time enforcement of user safety guidelines, the central government now requires all registered interactive gaming applications to appoint India-resident compliance officers. Platforms must formally employ a Chief Compliance Officer, a Nodal Contact Person, and a Resident Grievance Officer who are personally liable for regulatory breaches.

This operational requirement significantly increases overhead costs for emerging startups but provides a transparent, legally sound framework for consumer dispute resolution.
