WestLotto, North-Rhine Westphalia’s state lottery, is calling for discussions with politicians, scientists and industry stakeholders about loot box regulations.
Axel Weber, who leads responsible gaming efforts at WestLotto spoke out after Interactive Entertainment (Ukie), the UK’s games industry trade body, recommended restricting loot boxes to over-18s last week.
Alongside this recommendation, Ukie’s new guidelines presented 10 further loot box rules. These included implementing technological controls to access loot boxes, which would require parental consent to circumvent and increasing awareness about these rules.
