Legal regulation of cyber sports: International best practices

Abstract

Competitive video gaming or esports has seen massive growth over the past decade, creating complex legal challenges. Key areas needing governance include player contracts, IP rights, and anti-corruption measures. Self-regulation following sport models competes with state licensing systems. Hybrid approaches incorporating industry and government input appear most effective. With collaborative policymaking, thoughtful governance frameworks can be developed.
