How did you venture into the online gaming space? Which online games do you play regularly? What gaming platforms do you primarily use? (PC, console, mobile) How many hours do you typically spend gaming each week?

I went through a difficult phase in life where I fell into depression and isolated myself in a room. During that time, I installed PUBG on my phone and started playing. As I continued gaming, I didn’t even realize how much time had passed. I now stream game for about 4 hours daily and my total weekly streaming time exceeds 30 hours.

For how many years have you been playing online games?

3 years

What are your educational qualifications?

Graduate

What skills do you think are required to play online games?

I play games for fun. For me, if you’re enjoying the game, that itself is a skill.

Does playing online game form part of your daily life? is it a part of your livelihood?

I work as a government official in the Department of Cooperation, Government of Punjab. That job supports my family. After work, I stream games—it’s my dream to become a well-known streamer, gamer and content creator.

What are your preferred kind of online games? What factors do you consider before putting money into any online game?

I prefer games that feel realistic and allow you to engage with other players—games that help build connections.

What skills are required to succeed in an online gaming tournament?

A good team and a strong team leader are essential.

Have you ever experienced financial fraud or scams related to online gaming? What measures do you think should be implemented to prevent financial exploitation in online gaming?

No, I haven't experienced any fraud or scams.

Community Engagement: Do you actively participate in gaming communities or forums? How important do you think community engagement is for the online gaming community?

I never really got the chance to participate in communities or forums.

What do you think about addiction and dependency on online gaming?

I’m not sure about addiction specifically, but I believe anything done in excess can be harmful. Everything should be done in balance and at the right time.

Are you aware of the existing laws and regulations related to online gaming in your country? Do you think there should be more regulations to protect gamers' rights and safety online?

No, I’m not aware of the laws.

If there is one thing about the online gaming industry you can convey to the government, what would it be?

The government should treat online gamers just like athletes in traditional sports and provide them with opportunities to make the country proud in the esports industry.

Are there any tournaments you have won or gaming achievements you would like to share with us?

I had a long journey with Rooter Esports as part of Sigma Gaming. I streamed there for almost 3 years and gained over 188,000 followers. However, they eventually removed me saying my content wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t attracting enough audience, and they also reduced my payments. After that, I started my gaming journey afresh on YouTube and Instagram.
