Neowiz, 'Paid BM Social Casino' frustrated again?... Classification of Korea 'Kamkam' Recently, while the social casino game 'Pemang Casino' received a final decision to reject the rating (classification) by the Game Management Committee, it was confirmed that Neowiz, a service company, re-challenged to categorize related content. As a result of the coverage of on the 8th, Neowiz received a decision to reject the rating of the bell pepper casino by the Game Management Committee on the 23rd of last month. Previously, Neowiz received a decision to reject the rating of the bell pepper casino on May 19, and went through a re-deliberation process through an explanation process, but a final decision was made on the 23rd of last month, about a month later. The rejection of ratings for social casino games is not just yesterday and today. In April, Neowiz applied for a rating classification for 'New Peppermint New Vegas', but was rejected (confirmed). The core of the matter is 'speculativeness', and like social casinos, go-go (go-stop, poker)-type games that simulate gambling have relatively low regulatory thresholds. According to the current law, the game money for Gopo-ryu games can be sold within the limit of 500,000 won per month. If the 'Partial Amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Game Industry Promotion Act' goes into effect next month, the limit will be expanded to 700,000 won per month. It is for this reason that game companies operating web board games are trying to introduce a paid model for social casino games. As the profitability is expected to improve as regulations related to web board games stipulated by the current law are eased, there is an expectation that social casino games with low speculative intensity will be available. In particular, in the case of social casino games developed by domestic game companies, cases such as 'losing' or 'illegal transaction of game goods between users' as it is a 'stand-alone PvE system' in which the player and artificial intelligence (AI) in the game play against each other Since game money cannot be converted into cash, it is practically on the low side of speculation. However, in reality, it is difficult to classify social casino games. Rather, it is because the user payment limit is expanded for high-pooryu-centered web board games with a strong PvP element, but social casino games are rejected every time at the classification stage just because they introduced a paid model. This is known to be decisive in the social perception that the content of social casino games such as blackjack, slots, and casinos is similar to actual casinos, so if a pay model is added, it can encourage speculation. Currently, Neowiz is aiming to enter the market with the principle that 'Social casino games (PvE form) can be operated as soundly as domestic high-poor games'. Neowiz, which has been rejected (confirmed) for rating classification from New Pepper New Vegas to Bell Pepper Casino, is in the process of categorizing related content in another form. As a result of the coverage, the new game title is 'Peman Casino: Royal', and even this received a rating rejection (planned) by the Game Management Committee on the 7th. A Neowiz official told , "I applied for a rating classification by attaching a fee-based model to the bell pepper casino, but it was rejected, and I tried a different form and waited for the review. It is a step to show that this is possible,” he said. Meanwhile, unlike in Korea, in some overseas regions such as North America and Europe, the social casino genre is showing steady growth enough to record top sales in the app market. According to market research firm 'Statista', the global social casino market is estimated to be worth US$6.8 billion (about 8,842.7 billion won) this year, and is expected to grow to US$8.3 billion (about 10.793.3 billion won) by 2026. Game companies are also competing to enter the social casino market, but they are concentrating their services on overseas markets, excluding Korea. Some global target games are being developed in the form of adding a blockchain-based P2E model to the social casino genre. Profitability is 'zero (0)' as only free goods functions must be included for domestic service For this reason, some in the industry are calling for a public debate on the social casino game recognition from the current standards, where different regulations are applied depending on the type of web board game. An official from the game industry said, "In the case of social casinos, even though illegality and speculation are low, they are regulated more than necessary because they match the image of existing casinos. “There is a need to re-examine it from a positive perspective,” he said.
