ESA Expresses Discontent with Recommendation of the UK’s DCMS to Regulate Loot Boxes Under Gambling Act
Reading Time: 1 minute
Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has expressed discontent with the recommendation of the UK’s Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to regulate loot boxes under the Gambling laws.
Following an investigation on loot boxes, the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s (DCMS) parliamentary committee termed loot boxes as gambling and called for immediate measures to protect the children by regulating them under gambling laws.
In a statement, the ESA said that they take seriously the issues raised in the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee report but strongly disagree with its findings.
“As demonstrated by the recent announcement of policies regarding the disclosure of the relative rarity or probability of obtaining virtual items in paid loot boxes, as well as the robust parental controls that empower parents to control in-game purchases, the video game industry is a leader in partnering with parents and players to create enjoyable video game experiences.”

MegaSportsPro Launches on Labor Day, Bringing a Lottery-Style Jackpot System to Sports Prediction Contests
MegaSportsPro, a groundbreaking player-performance sports competition, officially launches today in 24 states. The platform introduces a one-of-a-kind model that combines skill-based sports prediction with a built-in, lottery-style reward system, giving contestants three distinct ways to win: weekly leaderboards, monthly contests, and three daily progressive jackpots.
MegaSportsPro distinguishes itself by offering a daily slate of 15 player-performance propositions. Contestants leverage their sports knowledge to predict the outcomes for each proposition. This skill-based competition forms the core of the user experience, while the innovative prize structure provides multiple paths to victory.
The platform’s unique reward system is its main attraction. The daily progressive jackpots offer lottery-style excitement, growing in value until a contestant correctly predicts all 15 propositions. For consistent top performers, MegaSportsPro also hosts weekly and monthly leaderboard contests with separate, significant cash prize pools, ensuring that skill is regularly rewarded.
“We created MegaSportsPro to be a one-of-a-kind player performance sports competition with a reward system that is unmatched in the market,” said Pete Korner, Founder and CEO of Mega Sports Progressive LLC.
“Today’s fans want the thrill of a lottery-style win combined with the skill of a sports contest. Our platform delivers exactly that, with three ways to win through our daily progressives and our weekly and monthly prizes. We’re rewarding sports knowledge in a way that is more exciting and engaging than anything available today.”
The platform is now live and available to users in 24 states. To celebrate the launch, new contestants are invited to sign up and enter the first official contests starting today, Labor Day.
