This should be the legal standard for any game with gatcha/loot box/battle pass microtransactions, in my opinion.
For a game to be authorized to implement random chance into its paid reward structure a la gambling, it should be required to obtain an upfront paid license, complete with a periodic regulatory spot check, and implement age restrictions that comply with local gambling laws.
That standard would be an excellent first step. Honestly I think advertising specifically targeted towards kids should be banned in general though.
