Welcome to the latest "Let’s Hae a Wee Blether Aboot Gambling in Scotland" podcast, brought to you by Fast Forward’s Scottish Gambling Education Hub.
In this episode, we look into the fascinating, yet at times, challenging world of Loot Boxes within games. We do this firstly, in the company of Dr Leon Xiao (University of Copenhagen) and Dr Elena Petrovskaya (University of Bristol). Both Leon and Elena work extensively in the area of gaming with a real focus on loot boxes and microtransactions.
In the second part, we chat to Emma Williamson from Wishaw YMCA about their innovative E-sports academy and how online safety and loot boxes have been built into the very heart of this programme.
Listener discretion is advised as we will be talking about some potentially triggering topics. This podcast discusses various issues around gambling. If you are worried about, or affected by the gambling of someone close to you, please know that you are not alone and confidential support is available.
