Ms Carol Boate:

A condition of the licence was that certain games, if on sale in the 12 months prior to the new licence coming in, would automatically be approved under the new licence. Monopoly, for example, had not been so there was an opportunity to consider whether it was suitable under the new licence. I think our regime is quite strict compared with other countries and sometimes compared with the old regime. As we learned, much more is understood about these kinds of products, the harm that can arise from them and the issues that some people can develop with them. We are particularly vigilant about under 18s. We spent a good bit of time looking at ways to ensure that the products will not be sold to under 18s and do not appeal to under 18s. Hamper Sweets and Treats is a Christmas-themed game that has been on sale every Christmas.
