Other students played it safe, hunkering down as recommended by area officials. Most gathered around in Morgan View and campus dorms watching TV, playing games, eating, surfing the net—and in general enjoying two unexpected days off. Morgan State survived the storm just fine.

    Loot Boxes: Are they grooming youth for gambling? Prepared for: The NSW Responsible Gambling Fund Prepared by: Prof. Matthew Rockloff Dr. Alex M T Russell Ms. Nancy Greer Dr. Lisa Lolé Prof. Nerilee Hing Prof. Matthew Browne Central Queensland University June 2020 doi: 10.25946/5ef151ac1ce6f ISBN: 978-1-921047-87-9 This project was funded by the NSW Government’s Responsible Gambling Fund, with support from the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling. The report has undergone independent peer review, which was overseen by the Office. This publication is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Australia licence. Page | 1 Executive summary This report outlines research aimed at understanding the risks posed by loot boxes to adolescents (12-17) and young adults (18-24) in NSW. Loot boxes are a growing concern due to the risk and reward properties that closely align them with traditional gambling, the potential for encouraging greater gambling involvement, and the potential for associated gambling harm. Broadly, this research revealed: • Loot boxes are common in the best-selling video games. Our exploration included a selection of 82 best selling video games and revealed 62% (51) had loot boxes. • In our survey sample, almost all of the respondents played at least one video game with loot boxes within the last 12 months (93.2%). • About a third (32.9%) of the survey respondents who played games with loot boxes within the last 12 months had also purchased a loot box, and their median monthly expenditure was $50 for adolescents and $72 for young adults. • Compared to other purchasers, young adults who more recently first purchased loot boxes were more likely to have gambling problems.
