That's what happens when you abandon your children to these platforms, companies run wild. TV, gaming, smartphones, whatever. 
Lootboxes are absolutely gambling and should have been regulated long since.

they were dummies. let him use the card "once". kid kept on using it, and they weren't paying attention
Yep, you nailed it.
As bad and as detrimental as y'all are saying lootboxes are, a kid can't buy ANYTHING without a financial source. So PARENTS need to accept more blame for this, because it can't be "addictive gambling" if a kid doesn't possess a credit card or any other means to overcharge.

I used to be of the mind that if it's not pay-to-win then what's the big deal and only seeing it from the perspective of a working adult. The fortnite skins for instance are legit these kids version of jordans or pokemon cards.
