    We can all imagine the imagery of balatro being somewhat a problem.

    But less of a problem compared to games with actual gambling for actual money in the form of lootboxes or gacha mechanisms?

    If you can get that to make sense, i’d love to hear it. Can there be a serious warning regarding gambling on balatro? for sure. But how is gambling imagery 18+, and actual gambling with actual money 3+? That’s just insane.

    What is most likely to get kids to become gambling addicts? Them learning pokerhands via balatro, or them gambling real money on lootboxes & gacha games and getting addicted to the thrill of winning after gamblling money?
