온라인·모바일 게임의 이용과 게임 결과물의 거래를 둘러싼 법적 쟁점

Game money and random box items operated by most game companies are not refundable by themselves, therefore the items should not be treated as gambling. However, if a user plays a game to gamble, he or she can be punished for gambling and under the current law, businesses are banned from exchanging game money, along as the chance to acquire the result is recognized. In order to meet the original purpose of the Game Industry Act, which aims to contribute to the development of the national economy and the enhancement of the cultural quality of the people by promoting the game industry and establishing a sound game culture of the people, discussions such as imposing sanctions on game outcome transactions in an abnormal manner, and strengthening monitoring of game operators and item brokerage sites will have to be carried out . Furthermore, various policy measures, including prevention, treatment, education, and sanctions, should be taken to counteract the adverse effects of the game playing process. Discussions on the restructuring of the current legal system related to game materials should be carried out in the process as well.
