Video Games Europe, formerly ISFE, says that minors, on average, spend €39 a month on games.

This is according to a new report in by Ipsos, which surveyed 2,808 caretakers from the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Germany.


By comparison, in 2020, minors spent an average of €33 a month on in-game extras.


The report also said, “For parents whose children spend money on in-game content, random rewards, such as loot boxes, are the least popular. The most popular is content that impacts gameplay.”


The survey noted that 76% of guardians said that children don’t spend money on the games they play.


Also, 89% of the respondents actively monitor the spending habits of minors.
