Hi Rayan Sayyed, re: in.ign.com/policy/240431/…. You wrote: “Belgium has banned all paid loot boxes, making games like Genshin Impact effectively unavailable there.” Not true. The law is not enforced. Genshin Impact remains available there: doi.org/10.1525/collab….

Great to chat with Jeremy Ray about loot box policy research. Highlights: whether the Australian under-18 ban on simulated gambling mechanics that do NOT involve real-world money (in addition to social casino games) is justified. Are pity mechanics protective or harmful?

Brazilian President signed the under-18 loot box ban into law (Lei 15.211/25; effective March 2026). 🇧🇷 planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato…. Belgium failed to ban loot boxes: doi.org/10.1525/collab…. UK failed to implement age verification: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…. Will Brazil succeed? 🤨
