Apple Faces Lawsuit Over App Store Loot Boxes

Apple is facing a proposed class action lawsuit for allegedly allowing gambling through loot boxes in App Store games.
The company is tacitly aware that loot boxes are gambling as it requires that creators disclose the “odds of winning,” according to the lawsuit, but it does not ask for a notification that loot boxes exist. Companies are also allowed to set their own age ratings, making it possible for an app deemed kid-friendly to include gambling elements.
The lawsuit cites numerous games that rely on loot boxes, including Mario Kart Tour, FIFA Soccer, Roblox and Brawl Stars. The lawsuit was filed by Rebecca Taylor, a parent whose child has allegedly fallen to the “predatory” tactics.
