Title: How would you react if your kids had gambling addiction
Post by: mediaBuzz on April 03, 2021, 11:09:09 AM
I came across an interesting article saying different ingame loot boxes (buying a box without knowing what is inside) psychologically similar to gambling and can develop interest into real gambling. Being a gamer myself, I think this makes a real sense - when you buying a box with random rewards inside you feel like you are playing a separate game inside a game and the feeling quite similar to the one you get when betting on sport and casino games.

Some countries are seriusly discussing weather they will regulate loot box feature in all games. What you think?

That means their government concern with their citizen and they do not want to see the number of addicting people to gambling increase, so they think regulating that can help reduce the number of addicted people in gambling. That will depend on people because if they are greedy to win the reward, they will trying to buy the loot boxes to get the bigger rewards.

I think this thread similar to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328131.0.
