China imposes curfew on minors in gaming crackdown

The new rules will also require all gamers to use a real-name registration and details such a WeChat account, phone number or ID number to sign up

China has imposed a curfew to limit the time spent by children playing games online, in the latest part of a government crackdown on youth gaming addiction.

The regulations will mean those under 18 cannot play games online between 10pm and 8am, and for only ninety minutes at a time during the daytime.
