The report also recommended that DCMS should work with researchers to identify key questions needed to develop research into the long term effects of (video) gaming and that DCMS should establish a scientific working group to collate the latest evidence on the effects of \u201cgambling-like\u201d mechanics in games.<\/p> <\/p> DCMS is leading on the Government response which has been requested by 11 November and officials are currently developing advice for ministers.<\/p> <\/p> The UK\u2019s video games sector - and particularly a number of the large inward investors here - are alarmed at the tone of the Select Committee\u2019s report and looking to Government to show it will take an evidence-based and proportionate approach in its response.<\/p> <\/p> Loot boxes do not fall under gambling law where the in-game items acquired are confined for use within the game and cannot be cashed out. However, the Gambling Commission is aware of possible areas of convergence between video games and gambling, and will continue to monitor this closely.<\/p> <\/p>"}

Alongside the White Paper, Government published the Social Media Code of Practice. This voluntary guidance sets out actions that the Government believes social media platforms should take to prevent bullying, insulting, intimidating and humiliating behaviours on their sites. The Code is also relevant to other sites hosting user-generated content and comments. We are aware that many social media companies meet the standards set out in the Code of Practice, although Government does not actively monitor this.<\/p>
