How are video games regulated?

They are regulated by the Video Standards Council and PEGI.

PEGI has eight key badges that show the content of the game. They are; violence, bad language, fear, sex, drugs, discrimination, gambling, online.

PEGI is backed by the Games Rating Authority which uses legal rating (3, 7, 12, 16, 18).

The GRA is a involuntary, statutory regulator.

Games containing pornographic content are regulated by the BBFC.

Illegal for 12 and under to purchase games.
