TY CM Shaddie. And I am sure this wonderful thing we call Runescape has capable Jmods and World Guardians to protect its integrity and make it a clear cut head-and-shoulder standout against abusive games pretending to be ethical entertainment and surprises such as TH and Clue Scrolls.
Rest assured, the UK Parliament and DCMS have made it clear last month that loot box and therefore TH is not gambling. However, they have said no words on whether Bonds among other features can make them particularly hard for gamers to retain control over their levels of gaming or spending. Personally I think Bond is quite ethical too and hopefully one day the DCMS can gives us more color on whether Bond has a design problem.
"The Committee has received evidence indicating that certain design features of MMORPGs can make them particularly hard for gamers to retain control over their levels of gaming or spending. MPs will ask Jagex about the monetisation strategies used in their free-to-play games; any interventions they deploy to help people retain control over playing or spending on online games; and the collection of data about players in games."

Bilbert;
I will try to keep this on-topic (the topic is not about a specific someone's behavior). That said, if I do not like the way someone is replying/reacting to my input, I simply will not acknowledge or quote for a reply.
I hope we can keep this going in a way that is not targeting fellow players of this wonderful thing we call Runescape

I don't know if you are replying to me or not as you wrote Bilbert, but I assumed so since your also did that in other posts quoting or replying mine.
Of course, you don't have to reply/react to anybody's posts, not just mine. You have the rights to remain silent, always, if you don't want to make any noise.
And don't worry though. I never expect, let alone demand anybody to reply to any of my posts.

Witnesses: Margot James MP, Minister for Digital and the Creative Industries

The Online Harms White Paper sets out the government’s plans for a world-leading package of measures to keep UK users safe online.
This consultation ran from
8 April 2019 to 11:59pm on 1 July 2019
DCMS is exactly right, all UK game developers should join the Fair Play Alliance just like Jagex to pulverize online trolls and bullies.
Too bad the entire paper doesn't say anything about loot boxes at all. Of course, they already said loot boxes are legal in July 2, 2019, but it doesn't hurt for the video game industry to self-regulate and form a Fair Trade Alliance to design more fun and surprise mechanics like TH.

Executive summary
"1. The government wants the UK to be the safest place in the world to go online, and the best place to start and grow a digital business. Given the prevalence of illegal and harmful content online, and the level of public concern about online harms, not just in the UK but worldwide, we believe that the digital economy urgently needs a new regulatory framework to improve our citizens’ safety online. This will rebuild public confidence and set clear expectations of companies, allowing our citizens to enjoy more safely the benefits that online services offer."
