As long as parents don’t give a fuck, this won’t change much.
Furthermore, this only theoretically protects kid, but fuck people with grambling addictions i guess…
Some things are preventative. There’s plenty of studies that show that the likelihood of developing a gambling addiction is higher for kids.
Kids won’t be able to play without stealing their parents ID or pointing a camera at a low res model in a web browser

The UK government decided in 2022 not to amend the Gambling Act 2005 to include loot boxes, saying no evidence showed a “causative link” to harms.
Since when has that been something that stopped the UK government from trying to regulate technology and curtail its citizens’ digital freedoms?
Does this include ever mob in an RPG that drops random loot? Like all of World of Warcraft?
wasnt the idea to completely ban loot boxes and real money gambling like that?
This won’t affect Germany I think. We use the cursed USK bullshit…
Germany has enacted similar measures before the PEGI implemented theirs.
You can see the descriptors in the article you linked.
AFAIK the USK only gives them a 12+ rating, not 16
