Social Gaming: Social gaming and children: the real need for regulation
The sudden rise of social gaming goes hand in hand with the increasing number of complaints concerning the vulnerability of children in pursuit of virtual prizes, which has seen questions raised as to whether regulation is necessary to protect those most vulnerable to gambling-like games, much like gambling regulation strives to do. Stephen Ketteley, a Partner at DLA Piper, examines the social gaming industry and the potential for regulation in a new industry that is not part of the real-money gambling landscape, but offers status-driven virtual prizes instead.
