valve loot boxes in cs/go

1

Ladys and geentleman, I´m hereby to expose a iliegal situation of Valve. Valve in last years has been forced to disable loot boxes opening, due to the new laws of Belgium/Netherlands of gambling, and therefore only apply to them. The purpose of this laws, is to prevent gamers winning in-game items, with certain value, and be able to trade/sell. Quite simplistic rule. However the solution of Valve, was to associate each game account with a bank account. This way, becouse I have dutch/belgium bank account, I cannot open the boxes. Until now, everything is legal and correct. However, if I decide to go for holidays in Germany, I should be able to play the game, and open the loot boxes, mainly becouse in Germany, there isn´t such law. Something which doesn´t happen, becouse they still consider my bank account´s country, and not the actual location where I am. At this point, this is unmmoral, unethical and even a bit of descrimination. But what happens when we look at other way arround? Lets say, I am bulgarian, I created my valve account from Bulgaria, with bulgarian bank account. Then I could move into Netherlands/Belgium, and I would be able to open this boxes, unless I dont change my payment account to dutch/belgium one. At this point, I am commiting a felony becouse I am allowed to open a virtual box, which is iliegal in the contry where I found myself (Netherlands/Belgium). Conclusion If its iliegal to open loot boxes in NL/BE, then this rules apply to EVERYBODY inside the borders of the mentioned countrys. Thats what the laws state. Everything outside of those borders, any Dutch/Belgium valve account, should be able to open the loot boxes. There isn´t any legal limitation when it comes to abroad country´s. Therefore the service payed by players should be full, and not partially like it is right now. I commented this topic in reddit/csgo channel, and also in-game discussions.in both channels I was locked/excluided, which helps me assume a cover operation from the part of moderators. With my saddest regards, Bushm1lfs
