This comes after several national watchdogs have questioned this position.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Belgium&#8217;s Gaming Commission decided that loot boxes break gambling laws and ordered their removal from all games sold in the nation. Companies that don&#8217;t follow through could face penalties of up to \u20ac800,000 ($949,700).<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch Gaming Authority has also voiced similar concerns about loot boxes, raising doubts about their future.<\/p>\n<p>However, Wilson insists that loot boxes in EA Sports&#8217; &#8220;FIFA&#8221; series are not gambling. He made this statement during a talk with investors this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FIFA Ultimate Team&#8221; allows players to use in-game money to buy cards that can be used to create their own teams. <\/p>\n<p>Gamers can amass this in-game cash by achieving certain feats within the game, or by spending real money to expand their virtual funds.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisory bodies in Belgium and the Netherlands have expressed worries that players are uncertain about the contents of their virtual &#8220;bundles,&#8221; thus introducing a component of chance.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Wilson stated: &#8220;We do not believe that FIFA Ultimate Team \u2013 with all its prize chests \u2013 is a form of wagering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Firstly, players always receive a specific quantity of items in each FUT pack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Secondly, we do not offer or permit any method to exchange items for real money using virtual currency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We forbid the transfer of in-game currency items to external sources, and we actively strive to eliminate this in illicit environments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Connected news: Belgium declares that video game &#8220;loot boxes&#8221;
