Abstract | E-sports, or competitive video gaming, has become a major global industry with millions of players and viewers. As this digital sport continues to grow, it faces increasing risks related to cybersecurity. Hackers often target E-sports platforms, tournaments, and individual players through data breaches, online attacks, and other cybercrimes. These threats not only harm the players and organisers but also raise serious legal questions. This research paper looks at the legal approach to cybersecurity in E-sports using a doctrinal method. It studies existing laws in India, the European Union, and the United States that deal with cybercrime and digital security. The paper also examines the duties of game developers, tournament organisers, and streaming services in keeping online competitions safe. Through legal analysis and case examples, this paper shows that many current laws are not strong enough to deal with the new challenges in the E-sports world. In the end, the paper suggests ways to improve the legal system and make E-sports safer for everyone involved. |
