GamCare has published new guidance on ‘Gaming Safety’ in response to parental concerns over the ‘blurring lines between gaming and gambling’ within digital environments.
The charity has provided its recommendation to parents, having consulted research undertaken by the Universities of Newcastle and Loughborough, with regards to changing gaming experiences ‘specifically around the purchase of loot box incentives’.
The ideal gift - Murray Hill Club Bourbon Whiskey now available through Drizly!
GamCare acknowledged that the topic of loot boxes has become a prominent subject matter for parents, regulators and its researchers in particular with regards to protecting young audiences from compulsive gaming habits.
