As of March 17th, new law protecting minors (18 less) from purchasing lootboxes. The law explicitly prohibits the commerce for minors only.
Law 15.211 of 2026:
I log in today, avid about getting my hands on the precious loot, there's no option to get crown crates.
Please, for the love of the universe, apply an age verification or something and let me spend my money on you!
Trust me, I'm a lawyer, we are safe to buy lootboxes.
Maybe I can send you my ID and we can settle this. PLEASE?

✭✭ZOS would then need a mechanism to verify you are actually in Brazil, as well as having to process your personal data beyond what they already do, which itself brings in more compliance requirements with other laws - all at a time when other countries are not just looking to regulate/remove lootboxes not just for minors but period.PC EU

✭✭Yeah, sorry, but I don't think we're getting crown crates again. It's easier for ZOS to just ban every Brazilian purchase than to verify we're actually not minors. The law also states loot boxes are banned from games geared towards children (up to 12 years) and teenagers (between 12 and 18) or games to which they're likely to have access. That pretty much includes ESO. Belgium's example indicates we'll have to spend our money elsewhere.

True, also they would need a whole new infrastructure for that to do age verification.
In Belgium selling gambling lootboxes are forbidden for everyone, including adults. So they don't have age checking mechanism in place.0 -

✭Some questions about that, does gifting from other players still work? Or even VPN?@MorvanClaude on PC/NA, don't try to trap me with lore subjects, it will work🦇0 -

Receiving Crown Crates from the gifting system still works for the countries that have banned the purchase of Crates.PC-EU @maitsukas
