Gambling elements in video games (‘Loot Boxes’)

Frazer Black made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Frazer Black to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Frazer Black

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Is the Department, or has the Department 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.

(Related OIA and response from the Gambling Commission https://fyi.org.nz/request/9555-gambling...)

Kind regards
