Why is everyone blaming AUS when this is a good thing so it will stop gambling from these cash grab experiences. zoomers these days just keep spending their parent's credit card
most games have an rng aspect and now all of them will be banned for where I live first brain rot speech and now 90% of Roblox games. one of the games I play the most is rivals and now that's going to get banned bc the loot boxes💀
NNotSwiss@@NNotSwiss gambling doesn't mean it robuxves robux. If there are chances that you are wagering then it is considered as gambling. High risk High reward right?
I'm surprised most games just entirely ignored the UK restrictions for a long while since it was next to impossible to verify a user's age by normal means. I guess countries are deciding to go with the nuclear option and prevent access to games now.
As someone from a country where paid random items are banned, I'd like to note that as of a recent update, games with paid random items don't even have a message anymore saying they are banned, instead the intire page gives a 404 error, doesn't show up anywhere on the website appart from if stuff like friends are playing them, and when it does show up, the icon shows up as content deleted.
as an australian, games containing lootboxes arent banned, but we just cant gamble in it, so we can still play games with lootboxes in it, but you cant actually buy the lootboxes.
it should be "unable to be bought with robux" instead of LOCKING ESSENTIAL FEATURES IN SPECIFIC GAMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY USE INGAME CURRENCY AND NOT ROBUX
I live in Australia and I play this game on roblox called Creatures of Sonaria and it has gachas that you can roll, but now they're added a feature where it shows you what creature you will roll next, it didn't have that before, so that's pretty neat 👍 This is a pretty good update, Australia is getting stricter and stricter on gambling which is great to hear.
As an Australian, I’m 18 and age verified on Roblox and it still restricts me regardless of age. Idm if they keep or get rid of them here but in most games that have blocked loot boxes there is no other way of getting those items, meaning the rest of the world can get cool cosmetics (in some cases game altering gear like weapons) and yet Australia gets nothing? Imo, for the sake of the games and Australian playability they should ban the ability to use robux to buy in game currency or make it a normality for games to have alternative options based on region (harder on devs). That would mean no stealing mums credit card without removing access. Would love to hear ur opinion in the comments
not just that, if you look on tv for even a second, or go outside, there is an 80% chance you will have alcohol or straight up, actual gambling ads thrown your way. but clearly the issue is the pesky roblox games for making gambling seem good
Spongebob simulator should be fine, they added free boxes around the map where if you open them you get free pets, also rare pets spawn sometimes around the map
FINALLY A ACTUAL GOOD UPDATE TO STOP GAMBLING ADDICTIONS, I know some people are gonna be sad because they can't open a egg with the chances of getting a huge being more then a million, this might go down for some good games though, so it can be pretty sad.
Ahh yes I should play a game that is sols rng and get a bunch of cool effects that don’t do anything but exist and take days just to get one This is pretty much what they tried to stop us from
@@Captaln_Rex Excuse me what? 1. I do NOT hate everyone, this is literally harassment if I do hate everyone, but still; 2. Loot boxes aren't even ideal for games in the first place, this is recently commissioned to be illegal for online games such as Roblox games (or experiences). 3. Your message doesn't make any sense at all, what are you about 😭
@@def-meditext "I hate game developers". Also games like bubble gum simulator used to be so fun for me when I was young. I would just hope for the best and if I got something good I'd brag to my friends. That's how I got into trading in the first place too, because of gambling. I don't regret a single moment or penny because I've made a lot of friends via. the trade community and people off of these types of games. It's not always bad
part of one of the updates is actually is a huge W the voice chat bubble isn't going to be above your characters head any more because in games you are able to click on your vc bubble throw in game UI leading to you getting suspended most of the time you will not even know if it was unmuted because its hiding behind another UI even in some pvp games you accidentally un mute it and say something crazy
*the rules- its not illegal, the odds are just pre-determined. E.g you buy 10 pet sim eggs with a 10% chance of a good thing, it will take you exactly 10 tries to get the rare item, this is only for users under the age of 18 in the uk.*
@ShortExperimenter well explain all the people who cant get a 1% thing after 1000... pokemon.... people can go to 20k encounters without a shiny while the chances are 8192/4096 depending on the game...
Let's hope this will also affect PS99 soon, cause if every game gets this treatment, Preston should also get it. Regarding CS:GO, or now called CS2 apparently, I know from a friend he just plays whatever matches to earn those free cases, and then sells them, which is probably a good way to earn back, even though you need to purchase something first in order to resell stuff. Also, about that new menu, some people got it reverted to the old one and was a temporary change, and honestly it's MLES BETTER because it hides that mic icon above your character in the UI, so you don't have to worry of accidentally clicking on it while a GUI is overlapping it in any game or preventing you to select something cause the mic button has priority over everything else when you click in that spot. I'm glad they change it since it's super annoying.
some games which the "lootboxes" arent even lootboxes, they're just a core mechanic of the game where you can get them very easily. some games are actually cash grabs though, and those make more sense
The problem is some game have crates open by ingame currencies and doesn't force you to spend robux on it...just play the game and grind....if your kids usw your credit card to buy robux it your fault for not watch over them....if they started Scamming it because you let them watch those Adopted Me Scamming tutorial on UA-cam... Imagine play and earn a bunch of stuffs in a game that might take years of playing and then unable to access to that game anymore because some parents whining about something they should be the one responsible of...and if you play it for years it must be your fav game
Honestly fair enough it was bound to happen, also they really need to add a drop down in the friends list where it says "Longest time offline" and ahows who's been offline the longest in your friends list
they did this ages ago in my country of Belgium, the games were blocked for a few days and then the lootboxes just got removed and it was playable again
Features like the loot boxes in shark bite and eggs in prior extinction aren’t accessible for me unless I change my IP with a VPN. So yeah, you can get around it.
A Dusty Trip and Pet Simulator 99 should be banned in every countries. Also Arsenal will be banned too? Because that game has lootboxes? And also MeepCity Parties are fine. I enjoyed that feature. The first time I played that game I starts earning moneys and begins to throw a party with me, my Meep and peoples in the server.
Honestly they could remove loot boxes or just make is so after every say 10 boxes your garenteed the best item so you know how much your spending and your 100% gonna get the item you want
I believe Pet Sim is still allowed in Aus because it gives the chance % for the items in the lootbox. If you don't give the % for items I believe thats when its illegal.
I know that lootbox is bad but what makes me angry is that I play with people from other countries who CAN buy lootbox and I can't, so I'm playing with a bad weapon and a guy appears with a weapon that kills me in 2 hits and I CANNOT GET THAT WEAPON AT ALL, an example of this is combat warriors where there are a lot of people with P2W weapons.
to be fair I think this is a good update to stop child gambling in general but it’s still kind of sad since I’m a ftp player and I cant use my in game currency anymore 🦶🦶🦶🦶
Also i can verify that it doesnt matter if ur 18. It just bans you from gambling. I’m almost 24 y/o and i id verified my account. I still cant open lootboxes or play games like mining simulator.
This is pathetic Roblox, I don't understand the need to ban in-game "random" items in countries, it's so stupid. Many games include these loot boxes or similar items. I guess kids will be spending all their money on useless crap but that's down to parents and restrictions not set on their computer. Maybe make it accessible to 13+ to those who aren't gonna steal their parent's credit card to pay for these boxes???
It indeed is and it doesnt even fucking work half the time lmao, some old abonded games like mining sim 2 are completely banned for me, other games(Fishing sim, zombie uprising) arent banned but paid lootboxes are locked, and other games like tds have tons of lootcrates but for some reason i can still buy/open them(Even rbx crates)
The loot box update is the worst update in my f4cking life. Some people won't agree but my favourite game of all time, Fishing Simulator. Which made me feel alive and okay for once got affected by this update. Now you can't get different pets or different fishing rods. This is the worst update ever, again, some won't agree but that's fine. I'm just mad. As an australian I am deeply angered that it had to be my country.
I play creatures of sonaria but I don’t use the gambling part of it since… it’s a waste of mush even though they are really cheap… still a waste. But I don’t think cos is gonna get banned… hopefully.
Hi SharkBlox if you can please reply so you know about the 40% glitch I was wondering is there any way instead of the pending robux going to my alt can I make it go to my main
the new gui at the top of the screen is too big and clips through any other gui I have on my screen and the new health bar is also massive really annoys me
i just play ps99 without gambling... WHY CANT THEY JUST REMOVE THE LOOTBOXES NOT THE ENTIRE GAME edit: idk if we cant play the game at all or just not buy the lootboxes
As an Australian, we have lost a huge part of gaming culture.
RIP gambling.
yeah

finally a update where roblox isint to blame
Same as the Turkey ban I think
it’s not Australia’s fault they wanted to protect us from gambling addictions
Roblox fault because they didnt ban PS99
Except gamblers
