South Korea is advancing regulatory reforms to introduce a new category of electronic amusement games called Skill-based games (SBG). The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is spearheading the effort to amend gaming regulations to differentiate games based on skill from those that rely mainly on luck. The revised framework aims to foster a fair and healthy game culture by clearly categorizing electronic amusement games and preventing illegal gambling activities, which have been a persistent issue. By emphasizing gameplay skills in the classification standards, the government expects to reduce confusion in the market and provide clearer protection for users and businesses alike. This regulatory move marks a notable step in evolving South Korea’s electronic gaming landscape while addressing legal ambiguities linked to certain game types.
