> The federal MP for Clark has introduced to parliament a bill focused on 'loot boxes', a video game feature where players gamble to win virtual assets, often with real money. The bill would regulate game classification, requiring all games that feature 'loot boxes' be clearly labelled and carry an R classification – 'in line with the fact that you must be 18 to legally gamble' - Andrew Wilkie.

This bill may not have the highest level of acceptance currently. But I do wonder as it goes through the motions if it will target things like secondary and tertiary in-game currencies. Or methods of obfuscating loot box acquisition.
