The Story
The UK Gambling Commission has released the results of its 2019 Young People and Gambling report and found that 52% of respondents were aware of “loot boxes” and that 44% had paid money to open them. The report, which examines gambling trends among local 11-16-year-olds, showed that 6% of the respondent also used in-game items for gambling. A new question in the survey also offered a glimpse as to how in-game items might lead to gambling. Around one-third (34%) of those who both use in-game items and gambles said they’d used in-game items first, then gambled, while 11% said they’d gambled before using in-game items.
