The UK Calling For Loot Box Regulation. General Gaming

[Tom]

The UK is once again calling for loot box regulation.

The Gambling Committee of the UK's House of Lords has concluded in a report issued this week that loot boxes in video games should be classified as "games of chance", which would put them within the purview of the Gambling Act of 2005.

As such, the Lords called for loot boxes to follow the same regulations as gambling products.

Quite right too, it's amazing how this is one of the things that's managed to slip through the cracks.
