Since OP isn’t the developer of the game, I don’t see how they could. Also it looks like a paid game.

I have no idea about the game and whether it actually contains gambling content or is just being auto flagged due to the title but this kind of crap is why I hate big tech and is why I hope we eventually have a future where decentralized services rule over big tech.

It’s a strategy/puzzle game.
Its loosely gambling themed in that it uses one of those pull the handle spiny wheel mechanics to draw your “units” for the turn.

Doing absolutely nothing about lootboxes though.

It should only be considered gambling if there’s is real money involved in the game’s core mecanisms IMO.

Its a themed slot machine with fictionalised in game currency.
If rated today Australia would give it R18+, but it was reviewed before last years changes so it has been grandfathered in at M with the description “Simulated Gambling”.

Simulated gambling seems to have been grouped in as loot box adjacent is some jurisdictions.

I would just like to add that Australia has the world’s worst gambling IIRC. Our govt is happy to fuck over peoples lives and take money from gambling but a videogame loosely related is a serious issue in need of stopping.

It is hard to see how the slot machine in LBALL can be gambling when you are guaranteed to profit on every spin (unless you’ve intentionally designed a machine where you can win nothing, but that seems like your fault). Gambling involves risking a stake, but in almost every configuration of the machine that you’ll encounter during normal play there is no risk, you are guaranteed to make more than it costs to spin. The challenge is to make enough to stay ahead of the landlord.
