Games sign up minors constantly, and in-game profiling for monetisation is exactly what the Act restricts for children.
In short
For under-18 players you need verifiable parental consent, age assurance, and no behavioural targeting. Children-data penalties reach ₹200 crore.
What changes for this sub-sector.
A 15-year-old player is a child; verifiable parental consent applies before processing their data.
You cannot profile children to serve personalised offers; this reshapes monetisation.
Add age assurance at account creation and design consent around it.
Chat, purchase and behavioural data is personal data with real exposure.
Keep consent records; honour access and erasure.
Analytics, ads and anti-cheat vendors are processors.
Stand up age assurance and verifiable consent first.
The readiness check flags age-gating, profiling and consent gaps.
