I watched a recent video by thecynicalbrit in which he talks about lootboxes and gambling in games. He mentions he's played some mobile games.

I dont know how to get in touch with these sorts of people but i think he might be interested maybe.

Video here

Might be a bit late now the interest has died down but i thought itd be worth mentioning.

I saw that video and contacted TotalBiscuit and never got a reply.

Also ESRB has replied and considers loot boxes NOT gambling, meaning, gacha games won't be considered either.

Check here for the news if you're interested:

I am interested in that news. Its kind of horrifying to be honest...

Thank you for contacting him anyway. I feel like people really do need to look at JPN and see the disparity between JPN and GLB. Its not a different game. No matter how many times the wolf tells you it's a sheep, it flat out is not one.
