In order to improve the situation with the taxation of prize money, a draft law has been developed that will exempt all types of prize and incentive payments, as well as similar incomes for the national esports team of Mongolia and its players registered in the country, from taxes. This also applies to funds provided by foreign companies and individuals. This information was presented by MiddleAsianNews.
Additionally, tax benefits will extend to affiliated federations and organizations.
If the law is passed, it will help attract youth to esports, reward achievements on the international stage, and give Mongolian teams and organizations the opportunity to compete more actively at a global level.
Mongolian esports athletes earn significant amounts at international tournaments. As of March 2026, the team The MongolZ has earned $1,565,100 in prize money.
Among the prize pools of the team MongolZ at significant tournaments, the following can be highlighted:
- Esports World Cup 2025: $500,000 for 1st place.
- Thunderpick World Championship 2024: $500,000 for 1st place.
