Bizarre law ban boys games to gamble online at night - should disappear after 10 years

Gamer under the age of 16 must not play in South Korea at night. That was banned by law. Now the responsible ministries have seen themselves that this rule is unnecessary and expose them out - after 10 years.

What is this law? The Youth Protection Revision Act, also known as Shutdown Law or Cinderella Law, was a law in South Korea. It blocked access to online games for young people under 16 years between 24:00 and 6:00.

The law was decided in May 2011 and it came into force in November of the same year. A similar law was also adopted in China in 2019, as young gamers were banned nocturnal or too long gambling.

The reason for the law was obviously the fear that excessive gambling should lead to dependence or even suicide.

Why was it changed now? The law moved, among other things, the problem argued that the games manufacturers barely regulated themselves properly who plays when. This was followed by quite absurd consequences such as children loved by Minecraft with a release from 19 years.

In addition, only online games were affected, mobile and regular console games were evidently consumed. Nevertheless, some console services such as the PlayStation Network have restricted their service in Korea (via kotaku.com).

How efficiently the law then was actually in the fight against possible gambling addiction in children remains open.

Also from parents, criticism that would like to decide how they educate their children and what freedom they grant them. Although they were able to ask for their children after exceptions, this rule was used in only between 1% and 28% of cases (via Koreanherald.com).

  • South Korea's New Gaming Laws: Boosting Services should be illegal
  • Law amendment on the way: Games like FIFA could soon be considered youthful
  • US Senator demands law that twitch streamer can send to jail - that's how it went out

Young gamer in Korea are allowed to gamble again at night - with happiness

How is it now? The law should be overridden, whereby the decision at the end of the year has to go again in revision before it is enforced. Parents or guardians should then decide for themselves when their pubes are allowed to gamble.

The Korean Society of Game Industry now wants to use themselves to clarify parents on the possibilities for child protection in games.

Incidentally, a law should be changed in Korea, which held one of the most famous gamers in the world of gambling:
