What has the "world" changed? What regulations forced Jagex to do anything to do with TH? Nothing. Jagex has capable lawyers just as all the major video game studios have their own capable lawyers. That's why we have all the loot boxes for all the Runescape layers.
The times are changing, here in my country energy drinks were very popular among children and if you know anything about those you know how harmful they are. Smug teens with same tone as yours used to say how the drinks arent going anywhere but after a while situation caught wind and energy drinks were banned from under 16 year old.

If you are really so naive to think that predatory gambling is here to stay then keep dreaming. At some point there will be clear rules created that anything involving real money and odds to receive goods is illegal for minors, and all this will happen because the gambling rules are being viewed as outdated.

One more example popped to my mind while writing, television phone quiz and chats used to be allowed for everyone here but after children started to waste hundreds of euros on them without their parents permission, companies didnt have to refund but the rules were changed and games turned adult only.

What does all these have to do with Jagex and Runescape as well as almost every video game and their developers in almost every country? Nothing.

Why? Because no "gambling rules" affect them. That's obvious.

Jesus christ, no gambling rules affect them YET , just like no rules affected energy drinks sold to kids or television phone quiz for minors, you get the point? Just because something is allowed now doesn't mean the rules wont be changed and right now we are at the phase of things catching wind and countries looking into the things.

In other words, there is still nothing, exactly like what it was a year ago.

No wonder why Jagex is still running TH as usual just like a year ago.

Yeah and Coca-Cola had cocaine in it for half a century, would you imagine that? Now does it have it anymore like it used to for years and years? There is your answer for TH's future.

Wake me up in another half a century if anything is changed then, and that's assuming the world doesn't end and you are still alive, and any "government" find anything "wrong" with TH by then. Or you can wake me up, maybe next year, when all the governments recommend TH as a substitute to real world gambling.

Meanwhile, Gamestack is running. To Jagex, it is gaming as usual and TH as usual. Runescape operates under current time, not 50 years into the future.

I believe Jagex is strongly against "predatory gambling". That's why they banned 3rd party gambling sites and users providing links to them, as well as making sensible changes to close the Duel Arena staking RWT loophole in OSRS.

I see Jagex waving their flag against predatory gambling already.
