The UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ruled against Hutch Games for breaching regulations regarding loot box disclosure. The ASA determined that advertisements for F1 Clash: Car Racing Manager on the App Store and Rebel Racing on Google Play were deceptive because they failed to mention the presence of paid loot boxes in the games. Hutch Games defended their position, arguing that such disclosure was unnecessary because players could advance in the game without spending money.
