Riot Games Under Belgian Scrutiny Over Gambling Allegations in League of Legends

We reported Riot Games to Belgian authorities for allegedly violating gambling laws by using chance-based loot mechanics and exposing minors to gambling risks without proper licensing or safeguards.

Hey everyone, wow this is such an interesting case! I’ve noticed similar concerns among the community for a while now, and it’s kind of eye-opening that such a huge company is facing scrutiny over their loot mechanics. I’ve always thought that these random systems need to be super transparent, especially when young players are involved. It really got me thinking about how game developers can balance fun and ethics at the same time. I hope this investigation leads to some positive changes for everyone. Anyone else feeling like this could be a turning point for more responsible gaming practices? :blush:

in my view, this investigation is an important signal that our favorite games may not be as transparent as they seem. i have played league of legends for years and noticed that while chance-based loot adds excitement, there is often limited disclosure on the odds involved. i beleive that stricter regulation could help ensure that players, especially minors, are adequately protected. even though random chance is part of the gaming fun, full transparency should be a priority for ethical game design.
