DCMS first said it would not add loot boxes to the Gambling Act 2005 review. They announced the parental consent measure shortly after, though, which I feel is a good way to regulate loot boxes.
Proving loot boxes are actual gambling is likely to be a tedious process (see the Netherlands), but borrowing from working solutions (i.e. Xbox's way of controlling in-game purchases) makes sense to me.
What do you guys think?
