Episode 16: Belgian lootbox ban, Back to the Outback and the Australian Gaming and Screens Alliance

This week’s Paper Round looks at something a bit different: an article by a legal scholar, published in a psychology journal. It analyses the effectiveness of Belgian gambling regulation in preventing access to lootboxes in games - and finds it lacking. (If you don’t know what a lootbox is, listen and you’ll find out!)The movie review is of an Australian animated adventure; and the hosts chat about a new organisation that Kim’s involved with, that recently had a productive symposium at Parliament House.Show notesXiao paper: Leon Xiao, ‘Breaking Ban: Belgium’s Ineffective Gambling Law Regulation of Video Game Loot Boxes’ (2023) 9(1) Collabra: Psychology https://doi.org/10.1525/collabra.57641Back to the Outback review: https://childrenandmedia.org.au/movie-reviews/movies/back-to-the-outbackBack to the Outback availability in Australia: https://www.flicks.com.au/movie/back-to-the-outback/Australian Gaming and Screens Alliance (AGASA): https://www.agasa.com.au/ - and watch this space for the re 17 recommendationsWayne Warburton’s program: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-06/game-changer-/102060362Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/outsidethescreenpod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outsidethescreenpod/Children and Media Australia (CMA): www.childrenandmedia.org.au; www.facebook.com/australiancouncilonchildrenandthemediaKim’s clinic: www.cgiclinic.com Get full access to Outside the Screen Podcast at outsidethescreen.substack.com/subscribe
