Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating(x.com)

I’ve always suspected I might be susceptible to gambling addiction so I stay out of casinos.

Instead, I go to the arcade. Which is like a low stakes child casino. Win a bunch of tickets and then either buy something stupid with them, or, just straight give them to some kid.

My point being, we’ve specifically constructed casino-like facilities for children and it’s regularly accepted, so why should Balatro be different?

Gambling at an arcade is exactly the same. All you’ve done is lower the stakes so hopefully it couldn’t affect you.

There’s a scam to steal money from kids in pretty much every grocery store near where I live. We call them claw machines.
