Key findings
A majority of young people aged 11 to 24 see purchasing a loot box (58%) and taking part in skin betting (60%) as forms of highly addictive gambling.
The Royal Society for Public Health is calling upon the government to update legislation around gaming and gambling. This is to ensure that both loot boxes and skin betting are fully legally defined and recognised as forms of gambling.
