Double tap to sleep on games

I found the double tap to sleep gesture is annoying whole playing games as sometimes it goes to sleep when i try to pull the notification bar down. Is there any way by which i could turn this feature of only while gaming? Why game genie doesn't have the feature? It would be great if there is a option to turn off double tap on the notification bar alone atleast.

I think Double tap to sleep gesture only "works on Home screen".
As soon as the double tap is enabled (Settings -> Gestures), your screen is turned off when you double tap on the home screen or on the status bar (if it's displayed).
It would be rightful if we request an option to disable the double tap on the status bar.
Yeah it will be good.
This function is part of Google AOSP (Android Open Source Project). We can add switches for a lot of features that some find useful and that some do not. We don't want to change too much and when we do, it needs to be necessary. Not enough users have mentioned this as an issue. The easiest fix is for you to swipe differently. I'm sure you can find a technique that works without triggering the tap function
No. It works even if you press the status bar
Exactly. I need that option
