The Gambling Commission have a range of regulatory powers to take action where illegal gambling is taking place.
The UK’s governing body has issued a response to a pair of citizen-submitted questions on the hot topic of in-game loot boxes and their relation to gambling.
Instead, she brings up a paper from The Gambling Commission published earlier this year that deals with the topic of game-related gambling, mostly as it pertains to the Counter-Strike skin gambling debacle that saw in-game items used as a sort of gambling chip for digital wagers.
Her response doesn’t call out or directly touch on in-game loot boxes themselves, however.
