Genshin Impact, Brawl Stars, and Clash of Clans are built around 'gacha' and loot mechanics — random paid rewards that work like gambling. Where the money goes and how to lock it down.

'Gacha' games such as Genshin Impact, and Supercell titles such as Brawl Stars and Clash of Clans/Royale, are free to download but monetised through random paid rewards — you pay for a chance at a character or item rather than the item itself. UK regulators and the Children's Commissioner have flagged that these loot-box mechanics resemble gambling and can lead children to spend heavily chasing rewards.
Children play these games with friends, but the design nudges them to buy in-game currency and 'pull' for rare characters or open loot boxes. Because the reward is random, it triggers the same psychology as gambling — near-misses, streaks, and time-limited banners all encourage repeat spending. Costs add up quickly, and some children spend real money without fully grasping the odds.
Spending controls
ตำแหน่ง: Device family settings (Apple Screen Time / Google Family Link) and console family account
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Require approval for every purchase; remove stored card details
The single most effective control. Because gacha spending is impulsive and repeated, requiring approval for each purchase — rather than a monthly cap — stops the chase mechanic in its tracks.
In-game chat
ตำแหน่ง: In-game settings
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Restrict to friends where possible
Many of these games include chat with other players. Limit it to known friends to reduce stranger contact, especially in team-based titles.
