Rolling the Dice: Gambling and Lootboxes in Gaming
Monday Feb 17, 2025
Monday Feb 17, 2025
In this episode of Blowing Cartridges, we dive into the high-stakes world of gambling in video games. With the recent changes to the Australian Classification Board (ACB) ratings, lootboxes and gambling mechanics are under greater scrutiny than ever. Are these changes enough to protect players, or just another regulatory speed bump for the industry?
Joining us for this discussion is our special guest, Sam, who brings firsthand experience in Victorian gambling regulation. We break down the dimensions of gambling and regulation in video games, what the current landscape looks like, and what possible changes we think should be enacted to make a positive change to the industry.
So, is the house always winning? Or are we finally seeing real change? Tune in to find out!
