	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>Video games are subject to a mixture of statutory and voluntary regulation mainly linked to the Pan-European Games Information (PEGI) classification system. The PEGI ratings system is used to classify video games content against criteria which includes, among other things, gambling. Additionally, PEGI informs consumers purchasing products from major app stores if they contain further purchases and are considering the possibility of placing these notifications on boxed products.</p><p> </p><p>Regulators such as PEGI and the Gambling Commission are speaking to industry to ensure that those who purchase and play video games are informed and protected. The government’s Internet Safety Strategy sets out how the government will work with the industry to promote further awareness and understanding of PEGI age ratings, parental controls and advice on safe gaming.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the risks that come from increasing convergence between gambling and video games. The Gambling Commission is keeping this matter under review and will continue to monitor developments in the market.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James grouped question UIN 132286 question first answered 16/03/2018 10:36:14 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
