Push to ban online money games

The Indian govern­ment plans to ban online games played with money, a proposed Bill showed, in what would be a heavy blow for an industry that has attracted billions of dollars of foreign investment. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025 says that no person 'shall offer, aid, abet, induce or otherwise indulge or engage in' the offering of online money games and such services, citing the psychological and financial harm it says can be caused by such games. The 13-page Bill describes an online money game as one played by a user by depositing money in expectation of winning monetary and other enrichment. The Indian market for such gaming is set to be worth US$3.6bil (RM15.1bil) by 2029, venture capital firm Lumikai says. Endorsements by top Indian cricketers and other marketing efforts have boosted appeal and investor interest of real money gaming apps such as the popular fantasy cricket games operated by startups Dream11 and Mobile Premier League. Dream11 commands a valuation of US$8bil (RM33.7bil) while Mobile Premier League is valued at US$2.5bil (RM10.5bil), PitchBook data shows. The Indian government has long been concerned about how such games are addictive. In fantasy cricket games on Dream11, users create their teams by paying as little as 8 rupees (RM0.38), with a total prize pool of 1.2 million rupees (RM58,156). The apps become more popular during the Indian Premier League season, one of the world's most popular cricket tournaments. The Bill states that anyone who offers such money games could face a jail term of up to three years and a fine. 'Such games often use manipulative design features, addictive algorithms ... while promoting compulsive behaviour leading to financial ruin,' the Bill said. — Reuters

Gamers feel the pain: PS5 price jumps RM211 in wake of Trump's tariff war

SAN FRANCISCO: Sony on Wednesday said it is bumping up the price of PlayStation 5 video game consoles by US$50 (about RM211) in the United States due to a "challenging economic environment." Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump hike the cost of goods brought into the US, leaving companies like Japan's Sony to decide whether to pass that on to consumers. "Similar to many global businesses, we continue to navigate a challenging economic environment," Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of global marketing Isabelle Tomatis said in a post. After initially being threatened with a 25 per cent hike, Japan negotiated a 15 per cent tariff with the Trump administration. "As a result, we've made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price for PlayStation 5 consoles in the US." The new price for PS5 will be US$550 (about RM2,324), with a "Digital Edition" priced at US$500 (about RM2,113) and a Pro version for US$750 (about RM3,169), according to Tomatis. In May, Sony warned it was considering tweaking prices in the US, estimating that tariffs could wind up costing the company about US$680 million (about RM2.87 billion) in the fiscal year. American companies are feeling the crunch, too. New York-based cosmetics giant Estee Lauder recently estimated the impact of the new tariffs at around US$100 million (about RM422.6 million) for the 2026 financial year and plans to adjust its prices to offset the additional cost. US snack giant PepsiCo could increase prices of its soft drinks about 10 per cent to mitigate effects of US tariffs, particularly those on imported aluminium used to make soda cans, according to trade magazine Beverage Digest. Meanwhile, California-based energy drink maker Monster Beverages is considering raising prices due to a "complex and dynamic customs landscape," according to chief executive Hilton Schlosberg. The Commerce Department this week said the US broadened its steel and aluminum tariffs, impacting hundreds more products that contain both metals such as child seats, tableware and heavy equipment. Since returning to the presidency, Trump has imposed tariffs on almost all US trading partners. Though the impact of Trump's tariffs on consumer prices has been limited so far, economists warn that their full effects are yet to be seen. Some businesses have coped by bringing forward purchases of products they expected will encounter tariffs. Others have passed on additional costs to their consumers, or absorbed a part of the fresh tariff burden.--AFP
