The Netherlands will being enforcing its ban on loot boxes as of today, by handing out fines and eventually moving to prosecution.
In a statement released yesterday, the Gaming Authority announced that the companies in breach of the ruling had until today, June 20, to make the necessary changes to their games so as not to be in breach of the country’s gambling law, and that it will now begin “the phase of enforcement”.
The country’s decision to ban loot boxes was made earlier this year, when the Dutch Gaming Authority (or Kansspelautoriteit) ruled that some loot boxes could be classified as gambling, namely those found in FIFA 18, Dota 2, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and Rocket League.
