This is part of a movement within China to strengthen and standardize live broadcasts on the platform and create a good online cultural environment. These policies were actually penned as early as 2017 and have come alongside a number of other restrictions on gaming in China such as minors only being allowed to game for three hours a week.

This list will continue to be updated every year. If you’re planning to stream on Billibilli, best be careful and make sure the game you want to play is allowed on the platform.
