Australia Alters Rules on Loot Boxes and Gambling

[MissExposé]

Australia has approved modifications to the minimum age requirements for accessing games involving simulated gambling, with such games now being rated R18+. These changes, which go into effect from September 2024 onward, aim to restrict access to simulated gambling content for individuals under 18 years old and introduce an M rating for games with in-game purchases tied to elements of chance, though this rating is only a suggestion for those over 15 years old. However, not all stakeholders are pleased with the decision, which comes as part of broader efforts to address loot boxes and gambling content in games worldwide.
