◎ Text "Fighter" magazine all media reporter Yin Xin

The interior facilities and hotel standard rooms are not different, but it is equipped with computers with equal beds and opens to minors. On July 26, a reporter from "False" came to an e -sports hotel in Changping District, Beijing. "We almost all have popular games in the market, and the same as Internet cafe computer." The hotel manager said.

Under the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia, many Internet cafes were ordered to shut down in order to reduce offline gathering places. E -sports hotels with accommodation and Internet functions have become popular, attracting many online game enthusiasts. The reporter found through the map software that there were several e -sports hotels within less than 5 square kilometers.

Compared with the Internet cafe, the e -sports hotel shows the hotel's signature and register in the name of the hotel, but uses the Internet Internet online service as a profit method, and has not achieved a strict "identity audit" like an Internet cafe, so that minors can surf the Internet online With a new place.

E -sports Hotels

Outside the e -sports hotel in Changping District, the reporter interviewed a man dressed as a student. He was a high school student, but successfully entered the hotel. "This is actually the Internet cafe business under the guise of the hotel. Who will come here in the hotel?" The high school student told reporters that during the summer vacation, he hoped to find the feeling of playing games in the Internet cafe before, so he applied for an appointment A few friends came to this hotel. "We chose three doubles next to each other. If you don't close the door, it is the same effect as playing games in Internet cafes." According to the law, minors are not allowed to enter the Internet cafe. But at this e -sports hotel, minors can come and go freely. "Internet cafes have on -board verification. The computer here does not have an authentication system connected to the Public Security Bureau." The high school student said.

Even if the computer does not have an authentication system, according to the state's management regulations on the hotel industry, when the hotel is in handling, it is necessary to achieve "five must" for minors: ; You must ask the contact information of the parents of minors or other guardians and record the preparation; you must ask the status relationship of the same residents, and record the preparation; we must strengthen safety inspections and visitors to prevent illegal infringement against minors; it must be necessary; must Immediately report the suspicious situation to the public security organs, and contact the parents of the minor or other guardians in a timely manner, and take corresponding safety protection measures.

The reporter found in the visit that many e -sports hotels did not do it.

A staff member of a e -sports hotel in Chaoyang District, Beijing said that not long ago, at the request of the pipeline police station, the hotel computer was forced to install a certification system connected to the Public Security Bureau. When the reporter asked if a minor could check in, the staff member said, "Check in, but you can't get on the machine, the computer is connected to the Public Security Bureau."

In addition, the reporter found that the signboard of the e -sports hotel has the situation of "hanging sheep's head and selling dog meat": some e -sports hotels called "Dream Walk", the actual address shows other signboards. The reporter followed the guidance of the map software and came to an e -sports hotel called "Dream Walkman", but found that the hotel's signboard was inconsistent with the map displayed on the map. The reporter asked at the front desk whether it was "dreaming", and the reception staff of the front desk called "yes". When the reporter asked why it was different from the signboard searched by the map software, the receptionist's answer was: "'Dream Walker' is a franchisee and rented some rooms in the hotel and transformed into an e -sports room. But not all rooms were transformed. Also, there are ordinary rooms to stay in. "

An unnamed e -sports hotel manager told reporters that the background of the e -sports hotel was the "theme" development trend of the hotel. The theme of the previous more popular was couples, nature, etc. At present, the theme of "e -sports" is relatively hot, and so many people have turned so many people to "e -sports".

When the reporter asked how the difference between the e -sports hotel and the Internet cafe, the person repeatedly emphasized that it was not the same thing with the Internet cafe. "We must be a hotel, and the industrial and commercial registration also states that it is a hotel." The reporter asked the question of minors online, and whether the computer in the store should uniformly install the certification system with the Public Security Bureau. The hotel is just "just a few computer hotels in the rooms, not an Internet cafe", "maybe after a while, other themes have been on fire, and we have changed to other themes."

However, since it is not an Internet cafe, why should the hotel take "the games in the Internet cafe, we all have" as a selling point?

The compliance vulnerability of the new format

A new business model is generated, and its formats attribution and management of compliance according to law have also followed. Earlier, the "shared sleep cabin" was suspended due to non -compliance.

On the spring and summer 2017, the shared sleeping cabin appeared in office buildings and shopping malls in Beijing and Shanghai. A company named "Enjoying Sleeping Space" completed the layout of more than a dozen "sleep stations" in Beijing and Shanghai in a short time. Sleep cabin is like a space capsule, providing disposable bedding such as sheets and pillow towels. There are electric fans, reading lights, charging sockets and other facilities in the cabin, but there is no air conditioning.

At that time, the new format of the sharing of the sharing economy should be encouraged. Like the hotel and hotel, it should be strictly adopted to strictly take the registration and "identity review" system. There are different views in public opinion.

Zhang Qiang, the chief operating officer of the "Enjoying Sleeping Space", said in an interview with reporters at the time that "enjoying the sleeping space" is not the same as the hotel's business format, but it is just a temporary rest space for time -sharing rental, which is a sharing economy. "We see the white -collar worker in the office building with a lunch break, and then I thought of providing this service." Zhang Qiang said. Xiong Zhi, director of Beijing Beidou Dingming Law Firm, told reporters that the shared sleep compartment obviously obviously rely on rental space to obtain income. The problem should be equally managed as the hotel format.

"Enjoying Sleeping Space" has not been recognized by the law enforcement department. When the shared sleep compartment mode frequently sees the newspaper, it has attracted the attention of the public security and fire department. In July 2017, the Shanghai Police stopped sharing sleep compartment services on the grounds that "the qualification certificate of the hotel's business format" and the "fire hazard" was suspended.

Subsequently, the "shared sleep cabin" appeared in Zhongguancun area in Beijing was investigated by the police. Police determined that these space cabins could be used without registering identity information. They were easily used by illegal criminals and hid their feet. The space compartment was closed, the internal space was narrow, and the escape could not be extinguished in time after the fire. In the end, all 16 places for "enjoying sleep space" were stopped operating in Beijing, and the space capsule was then demolished and evacuated.

How to supervise the "with bed cafe"?

"Is it convenient to talk about the new format of the E -sports Hotel?" The reporter called the more than ten e -sports hotels, and the answers received were "inconvenient to be interviewed." As the format has developed rapidly and the number of stores is increasing, practitioners are taboo and avoid the real situation of e -sports hotels. It seems that the side reflects the confusion of e -sports hotels on the road of compliance.

Actions from the public security organs are stepping up deployment. More than one hotel leader told reporters that the recent pipeline police station requires the installation of the authentication system of the network of the Public Security Bureau on the computer. The supervision is no different. Even if the hotel is "turning on the green light" during the check -in review, the board certification can not bypass it.

Zhao Hu, a partner of the rights and interests of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, told reporters that the operator of the e -sports hotel means a bit of "playing the side ball", "If the hotel only placed a computer in the guest room, it is okay. But if it is no problem. Drive the separate area and place multiple computers, similar to the Internet cafe operation, then need to be approved. "In fact, the computer corresponding to the number of beds with the number of beds is placed in the guest room. It is clear.

When it comes to the issue of minors' online management, Zhao Hu said that the reason why Internet cafes are completely different from hotels are because of the different focus of supervision. The supervision of Internet cafes is to consider the addiction of minors, while hotel supervision focuses on safety. "Regarding the supervision of e -sports hotels, the local administrative department needs to be adapted to local conditions according to the new situation, and the appropriate management methods are found, which is finally reflected in the regulations." Zhao Hu suggested The authentication system of the Public Security Bureau's network to cope with the Internet cafe hidden in the hotel. "After many shots of the country before, game manufacturers already have anti -addiction systems. They can also ask hotels to install genuine software to ensure that there is no lack of anti -addiction issues." Zhao Hu said.

Not long ago, the Court of Middle -level People's Court of Suqian City, Jiangsu Province made a judgment on the public interest lawsuit of the defendant with the e -sports hotel. The court violated the legitimate rights and interests of the unspecified minor by e -sports hotels, and sentenced the hotel to immediately stop providing Internet online services to minors, and publicly apologized to the public in writing in the public public after the judgment came into effect. On June 10, 2022, the verdict came into effect.

This verdict indicates that the e -sports hotel will embark on the standard of strict supervision, or is it like a meteor like a shared sleep cabin? What is the prospect of the compliance of the e -sports hotel, the reporter will continue to pay attention.
