Great. Now do Roblox. In the game "Steal a Brainrot" the kinds of things kids can spend money on in the game that's supposedly safe for seven-year-olds is disgusting. £29.99 for a "secret lucky block" - and that's BEFORE price discrimination. Literally wiring the brains of kids as early as possible to have a tendency/preference towards "random variance rewards." I am really pleased to see any government doing something about this and protecting kids from this disgusting, predatory, and exploitative behavior.

By all means game developers deserve to make a living... However, if they're going to operate a casino, they should be treated and licensed as such.

Technically: It’s not a casino if house wins 100% of the time.

I hope Roblox is banned for my 10 and 9 year olds including their peers, so that I can enforce it. I am glad I managed to refuse them a 1.99 payment until now while other parents allow whole 20s. After ruining their time and brain now they want to steal from them, adding insult to the injury. Please, Ursula, ban them as soon as possible.
