This is a response to the consultation on the draft law for the protection of minors in digital environments. A representative of the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) has confirmed to me on 18 June 2024 by email that the draft Article 5 will indeed only regulate Embedded-Embedded loot boxes. I therefore raise two concerns. Firstly, Embedded-Isolated loot boxes should also be subject to stricter regulation because they are no less harmful than Embedded-Embedded loot boxes. Secondly, the Government must not mislead the public by giving the incorrect impression that Embedded-Isolated loot boxes will also be regulated by the draft law if it passes and/or that the draft law can address the entirety of the loot box problem.
