Back in April, the Netherlands sent out fair warning to certain game models. They stated clearly, if you sell loot boxes to video game players, then allow an aftermarket for players to trade and sell the contents of those loot boxes for real-world money, then you are in violation of our gambling laws. Gambling is legal in the Netherlands with a permit, but video games do not have a permit type they can obtain. The Netherlands have made this clear also, and that until they create a permit for gambling in video games, they will be fined and prosecuted.
