We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Extend the Gambling Act to cover Loot Boxes
I would like the government to extend the Gambling Act to cover ‘loot box’ systems from computer games so they are regulate in the same way as other forms of gambling. These systems can lead to gambling addiction and children spending too much money on these ‘loot boxes’ in games.
More details
The well known game publisher, EA have referred to it as a ‘surprise mechanic’, which changes nothing about the system, and believes it is not unethical to continue using it. However, I and I’m sure many people would people would agree it is very unethical and should be properly regulated.
