The UK Advertising Standards Agency has upheld complaints against EA, Jagex, and Miniclip for failing to disclose the presence of loot boxes in their advertising. This decision highlights ongoing concerns regarding transparency in the gaming industry. Concurrently, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India has issued a caution to social media influencers against endorsing offshore online betting and gambling platforms. This advisory is part of broader efforts to address the financial and socio-economic implications of online gambling. The government's move aims to sensitize social media users and influencers about the potential harms associated with such endorsements.
