A convex two-stage non-cooperative game with risk-averse players under uncertainty is formulated as a two-stage stochastic variational inequality (SVI) for point-to-set operators. Due to the indifferentiability of function $ (\cdot)_+ $ and the discontinuity of solution mapping of the second-stage problem, under standard assumptions, we propose a smoothing and regularization method to approximate it as a two-stage SVI in point-to-point case with continuous second stage solution functions. The corresponding convergence analysis is also given.

Keywords: Two-stage stochastic variational inequalities, stochastic game, risk averse, smoothing, regularization.
