The PEGI board has revised its initial classification of the game Balatro from PEGI 18 to PEGI 12 after Sold Out Sales & Marketing's successful appeal. Initially rated PEGI 18 due to its explanations of poker hands, the more fantastical elements were deemed to lessen the gambling association, leading to a lower rating. A similar shift occurred for the game Luck Be A Landlord. PEGI plans to enhance criteria regarding gambling themes, allowing age categorization, while still maintaining stricter ratings for games that depict real-world gambling.
The PEGI board has reversed its initial PEGI 18 rating for Balatro to PEGI 12, following an appeal by its publisher based on its less risky gambling elements.
The PEGI Experts Group will refine classification criteria for gambling themes, introducing PEGI 12 alongside PEGI 18 for games that glamorize or simulate gambling.
