Gambling online and video games played online where monetary transactions can occur (available in most gaming) have the potential to overlap, if within video games, the player can pay money to have a random chance of winning something of value. Many items that enable a video player to enhance their avatar in the game (e.g. costumes or weapons) are highly valued and can be sold online to others. Loot box ‘skins’ (prizes) have been sold for over $US61,000 for a signed rifle for avatar use, and some buyers of loot boxes can spend, over time, many thousands of dollars (at $3 or so a loot box), for a chance to win rare virtual items that can be used in their games or sold for real money (theverge.com).
