China has imposed a curfew on online gaming for minors as part of the move to curb video game addiction.

Gamers under 18 will be banned from playing online between 22:00 and 08:00. They will also be restricted to 90 minutes of gaming on weekdays and three hours on weekends and holidays.

The official government guidelines include spending limits for minors. Gamers from 8 to 16 years old can spend up to 200 yuan ($29) per month, while those between 16 and 18 years can spend up to 400 yuan on their gaming accounts.

The new guidelines will apply universally to all online gaming platforms operating in China.
