Are fixed rewards and discount options in games like Brawl Stars exempt from gambling regulations, especially those protecting minors?
i have seen that many developers design lootboxes in a way that they are legally categorised as a form of digital reward system rather than a pure betting game. in practice, the minor chance element is cloaked under the guise of cosmetic or utility bonuses which are not rendered as gambling activities under most jurisdictions. from my own experience, this legal distinction means that despite the inherent risk, they primarily operate under consumer transaction rules rather than gambling laws. careful review of local guidelines is still advised as rulings can vary.
hey, lootbxoxes work by offering random virtual items so they ain’t seen as classic gambling. fixed pricing with chance quirks means regulations often miss 'em. minors can still get caught so watch out.
