Gaming the System: Gaming Addiction & Screen Time

019 - Do Loot Boxes Lead to Problem Gambling?


Listen Later

It's time again to talk about everybody's favourite surprise mechanic, loot boxes. 

Parents hate them, governments hate them, gamers hate them, and yet publishers continue to shove them down our throats at every chance they get.

They might seem like harmless fun, but more and more research is being done into their link with problem gambling. So today I'm going to look into what the science is saying and discuss this idea in more depth.


If you haven't already I'd love for you to leave us a rating. It'll help us get the podcast in front of more people, and we can provide as much value as possible!

Until next time.
