Should the Eververse Trading Company be regulated?
The Eververse Trading Company is now in the game and looks like it's staying. It sells trinkets for silver In exchange for real money.
My question is, should this be regulated and have an age certification on it?
You can purchase random bags of emotes, horns etc and therefore it is a 'gamble' or a 'lottery' when making the purchase.
Every gambling website, app or advert carries a 'gamble responsibly' message attached to it in the UK and I believe this should be the same with ETC. I know COD does it and I don't agree with it any shape or form.
I'm curious about your feedback and as always, please be civil to each other and be respectful of others' opinions.
This is my personal opinion on the matter. I think Destiny is very addictive as it is but things change when real money is being used and I am of the view it should be regulated (along with others).

1 ReplyIn British law gaming in the gambling sense means playing a game of chance for a prize (section 6(1) of the Act) and a prize means money or money’s worth (section 6(5)), therefore, if all that can be won is virtual currency that cannot be exchanged for cash or spent on items of money’s worth, it is not gaming under the Act. Therefore Eververse is not gambling, at least not by the british definition of it
