There has been relatively widespread reporting. The written evidence the Gambling Commission has sent in to the Committee as well makes clear the existence of the secondary market, where people are trading for cash items that have been acquired through in-game purchases. The gaming companies have a policy saying they do not want people to do this, but it does not mean to say they are effective at stopping them doing it. Well, they will do it when they catch them, but it does not mean to say that they can stop this happening. But the in-game purchases themselves I think have value, so I would say they have money’s worth because people are spending money to acquire these players, then in addition to that, they can also then sell them. There are also examples of people selling other forms of in-game purchases as well and people making very large amounts of money for rare skins for characters in different games and tools and weapons and so on.
On Page 40, Post 8, I already clearly quoted UK Parliament's responses:
That's what the UK LAW said. No need and utterly useless to go in circle when they said clearly loot boxes is not gambling.

There are plenty of ministers in the DCMS to tell you:
"Loot boxes are a means of purchasing items, not an additional financial reward. They can't be traded offline for money. We don't think it is true to say loot boxes are gambling"
"You need the evidence as a justification for taking action, particularly if you're talking about regulation""

First, this is not law. Second, it is about real world trading and skin gambling, not loot boxes at all. Get your facts strict first.
