Riot Games

A Federal District (Brasilia) court ruled on June 17, 2026 that Riot Games and twelve other gaming and platform companies failed to protect children from randomized 'loot box' purchase mechanics, in a civil action brought by Brazil's National Association of Child and Adolescent Defense Centers (ANCED). Riot was fined R$15 million (~$2.94M) over loot-box mechanics in League of Legends, as part of a R$298M (~$58.4M) collective judgment against the named companies. The court ordered Riot, within 90 days, to display explicit randomness warnings, disclose item-drop probabilities, deploy reliable (non-self-declared) age verification blocking minors from loot-box purchases, and provide a free refund system for purchases made by minors without parental authorization; noncompliance carries a daily fine of R$100,000. The ruling is subject to appeal.
