Australian government wants to give 18+ ratings to any game with gambling:
If these proposals became law, that would mean that some of the most successful retail video games on the planet, like EA’sseries, would see their ratings jump from “G” to “M” for “Mature”. Note that in Australia “M” means something isfor people over 15, meaning it won’t legally keep games out of the hands of kids, while the stricter “MA15+” rating legally restricts the sale of products to those over the age of 15.
“There is growing community concern around the harms of simulated gambling,” Rowland says. “A parent, for example, would expect that if their children had purchased and was playing a game, and that game contained some simulated gambling, that they have a right to know about that.”, and can’t hope to impact some of the worst offenders—online spaces likeare notorious for this—but it’s a start.
