PEGI - Pan European Game Information Age Rating System 8: Article 8: In-game monetisation

In-game purchase offers must be fair, transparent and lawful. Signatories show the PEGI in-game purchases descriptor, and where relevant the notice that paid random items are included, where the game is bought or downloaded, using the Labelling and Advertising Guidelines templates. Where random items such as loot boxes, prize wheels or card packs can be bought, directly or with premium currency, they tell consumers beforehand, clearly and accessibly, the odds of receiving each item or category; keep the odds transparent and the same for all players with no unfair manipulation based on personal data, in line with data protection law; and make clear that no one ever has to pay for random items to play. Their policies must forbid turning in-game items into money for unlawful gambling or betting, with penalties such as suspension or bans for illegal trading. The price of in-game currency must be clear, with a receipt or invoice for real-money purchases (parental tools or transaction reports can carry it), and the value of content bought with that currency, the balance held and the real-money store prices must be easy to see.
