Subject: Official Information request - Gambling elements in video games (‘Loot Boxes’)

Dear New Zealand Gambling Commission,

Is the Commission, or has the Commission in the past, considered action to ensure gambling elements in video games are compliant with New Zealand law?

In addition, please may I also request:

* Any documentation related to gambling elements in video games (sometimes referred to as ‘Loot Boxes’), including emails, meeting notes, formal and informal reports or recommendations.

* Any documentation related to the recent law change in Belgium that restricted gambling elements in video games.

Kind regards

Frazer Black
