Unger det gamer har større risiko for at have problemer med gambling: så kom Spillemyndighedens undersøgelse, som jeg har ventet længe på. Desværre bekræfter den hvad jeg ser til dagligt i terapilokalet: unge får deres debut med pengespil via computerspil (typisk i CS:GO) 1/5

Thanks to @nminassian @SkyNews for highlighting the widespread ILLEGAL advertising of videogames with in-game purchases and #LootBoxes specifically (that do NOT DISCLOSE their presence) and, also, the recent paid involvement of many famous celebrities. 🎭 news.sky.com/story/money-bl…

Just one of the TikTok adverts has already been viewed by over 1.3 million unique users in the UK alone! 😬 The TikTok ad repository page revealing this stat: library.tiktok.com/ads/detail/?ad…. I have complained to the advertising regulator, @ASA_UK, and written to David Beckham’s team.

.@CoinMasterGame is advertising with David Beckham in the UK and continental Europe across major social media platforms (TikTok, Facebook). All the ads break UK advertising regulations and EU consumer law for failing to disclose the presence of in-game purchases and loot boxes.

Our critique of the Dutch court’s judgment. 🇳🇱 #LootBoxes should be scrutinised on their own, and focusing on the so-called “majority” of players ignores the experience of the minority of vulnerable players. @PieterjanDec @gameable_youth @gaminglawrev bit.ly/47n14ny

Vi står i en vanskelig situation, som ingen kunne havde forudset. Vores uddannelse og vores drøm er blevet revet væk fra os, fra den ene dag til den anden. DAC er gået konkurs. Vi har i dag været samlet, alle sammen. Folk er berørte og kede af det. Men vi er ikke opgivende.…

Jeg anbefale jer alle at høre lydversionen (7 min) af denne artikel:   zetland.dk/historie/s8aa3…   Der er to grunde til at høre den: 1) man får viden om et nyt søvn-spil, men 2) alene den kunstnerisk beskrivelse af søvnløshed er et lyt værd

22nd Feb, 1-2 GMT! I will share my research on possibly problematic microtransactions in an actionable format, alongside @LeonXiao talking about consumer protection and the role of game ratings. Come watch!

Do you understand PEGI ratings? Do you know how children and young people can enjoy gaming safer? Join @fastforwardorg and our colleagues @LeonXiaoY @elepetrovs on 22nd Feb to discuss the links between #gaming and #gambling. bit.ly/lootboxstw

A second longitudinal study by @joaquinmgc, @DrHalleyPontes, @jmmachimbarrena et al. found Spanish 🇪🇸 adolescents who purchased #LootBoxes did migrate to #OnlineGambling six months later. doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.… Similar to very recent findings by Brooks & @LukeClark01 @CGR_UBC.


Interesting talk with @elepetrovs and @LeonXiaoY about the challenges with predatory monetization schemes and loot boxes in computer games: youtu.be/vMnsYhZ5u5I

Different countries are approaching #LootBox #regulation in divergent ways. My simple 2022 summary of 🇳🇱🇧🇪🇬🇧🇫🇮🇪🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸 @GIBiz. One can now, IMO, get away with any #LootBoxes in 🇳🇱. The 🇧🇪 “ban” was not effective. Or try industry self-regulation in 🇬🇧? gamesindustry.biz/loot-box-state…


Europa-parlamentet tager skridt henimod regulering af skadelige designelementer i computerspil. Jeg er glad for at lootboxe, betting og handel med digitale værdigenstande er nævnt: europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-…

Interesting EU development. The draft report is expected to call for a European Single Market approach to #LootBoxes. 🇪🇺 There are pros and cons to such a “unified” approach but I think any substantial regulation is still far off.

Wondering what happened with #LootBoxes #regulation in different countries in 2022? I present the #LootBox State of Play: A quick and simple summary of 🇳🇱🇧🇪🇬🇧🇫🇮🇪🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸. Hopefully clears up some common misconceptions! Thanks to the @GIBiz team!

A #LootBox Bill was proposed by @SebastianTyne in the Finnish Parliament. 🇫🇮 Potentially changing the definition of “lotteries” to include both those offering monetary prizes and “virtually utilisable profit.” eduskunta.fi/FI/vaski/Lakia… Credit: Spors @GamificationGG @CoEGameCult.
