Make the video game industry regulated.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The video game industry and the huge companies there in go largely unchecked as they are not regulated. Under age gambling, pre determined outcomes and appalling customer service are some of the major issues faced.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about certain behaviours but the video games industry, but we're not sure how you would like the video games industry to be regulated. For example, it's not clear if you want certain legal obligations to be imposed on the video games industry, and if so what, or if you want a statutory regulator for the video games industry to be established.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
