The popular clicker game, Hamster Kombat, has been making headlines in Uzbekistan. While there were initial concerns about its legality, the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP) has officially declared that the game itself is not banned.
However, the NAPP did issue a warning regarding the in-game currency and its potential withdrawal. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
- Playing the Game is Okay: Uzbek citizens can freely play Hamster Kombat on the Telegram platform.
- In-Game Currency Uncertain: The NAPP has clarified that the tokens used within Hamster Kombat don’t currently meet the criteria for crypto-assets under Uzbek law. This means their withdrawal might be restricted.
- Future Regulations Possible: The NAPP acknowledges the possibility of Hamster Kombat’s currency transitioning to blockchain technology, which would bring it under cryptocurrency regulations.
Overall, while Hamster Kombat is playable, there’s a question mark surrounding the in-game currency’s future. It’s important to stay updated on any potential regulatory changes from the NAPP.
