2020-04-14 | UK games will now state if they let you buy random loot boxes and card packs • Eurogamer.net

'European video games rating board PEGI has announced it will now label video games that include "paid random items" - a term meant to cover loot boxes, card packs and the like. '

'Last December, the DCMS Committee recommended the UK Government regulated loot boxes under the Gambling Act. '

'And in January this year, the NHS said young people's health was at stake due to loot boxes "setting kids up for addiction" to gambling. '

'It does not matter if the in-game items received are bought with real-world money or in-game virtual currency purchased with real-world money - both are covered. '

'The year before had seen awareness of microtransaction mechanics hit the mainstream, which in turn sparked debate over whether loot boxes constituted gambling (the answer to which still depends on where you live). '
