Yeah for sure they are banning everything related to gambling step by step over the last decade, but i wouldnt expect they will even take away from me mystery bundles :P

no idea, I don't keep up with international politics, just whatever shows up in tech news occasionally. New Zealand is a slight exception because it affects Path of Exile.
hell... I don't even keep up with local stuff enough... I found out Texas implemented that stupid ID stuff for adult sites and Fun Hub(and others) is now blocking their service here... learned this a month+ after it happened and I live here lol.

Loot boxe are not banned in Germany, so it must have some other reason.
Possibly a banned game or a lack of age declaration in a title.
Edit:
A bundle is viewable for me (in Germany) but I didn't compare the titles.

I think this is due to the ratings law and not loot boxes. As I see it, they can't guarantee if any of the games obtained won't have a rating etc etc.
That's my best guess. We'll see if they announce anything new

Yeah I thought so. Maybe they just don't sell the game only where it's banned (kinda makes sense), though they still might since people use those keys for giveaways, the person who bought doesn't have to use it for themself anyway.
Edit: It seems they indeed don't sell those games where they're banned.

Yeah actually i tried it.
Default it was US and to buy the bundle i would have to fill out some stuff about taxes etc, so then i switched to europe but it was UK so i was able to buy it with PayPal, but cuz of the conversion i would have to pay like 20% more

Honestly good for me, I needed that. But, like, Fanatical shouldn't offer them, a country shouldn't need to ban them. I'll happily buy certain overdone leftover keys for 1$ each, just gimme the choice. But I'd also like to have the choice to buy the mystery bundle (I love gambling). ;w;

German here.
Lootboxes are not banned in Germany up to this day. It is discussed and there is indeed a big possibility that they will be banned in the future, but there is no ban in place as of right now.
Edit: Just checked. Even the two weeks old Mystery Bundle will not activate in Germany or, to be more precise, if you visit Fanatical with a german IP (see screenshots).
So either it is a different reason or Fanatical has insider information that the ban will be instated in the next weeks and has already prepared its website for this.
