Spain proposes restricting minors’ access to qualifying video-game loot boxes

Regulation

Spain’s government presented a bill to parliament that would generally prohibit minors from accessing or activating random-reward mechanisms, including qualifying loot boxes, according to the report. The proposed restriction applies to mechanisms involving chance, payment and rewards exchangeable for money or virtual items, while allowing possible exceptions to be set by regulation.

The proposal could require games with qualifying loot boxes to restrict access by under-18s in Spain.
