Gacha rate disclosure page: QA against the live banner probabilities
Analysis
By UA Ledger staff — 1 min read
Operator checklist to QA live gacha banners against the disclosure page, using the FTC Cognosphere 17 January 2025 press record on Event Banners and odds misrepresentation as the primary bar.
Disclosure pages drift from live banners after hotfixes. This checklist forces a dated screenshot pair before UA scales a banner creative. Jurisdiction note: the primary document is a US FTC enforcement record; JP/KR/EU statutes are not body-read in this edition and stay unresolved.
Primary bar (body-read)
On 17 January 2025 the FTC announced a complaint alleging HoYoverse deceived players about loot-box odds and costs, and that Event Banners and influencer campaigns gave the impression of better odds for promoted five-star prizes than players actually had. The proposed order would prohibit misrepresenting odds, prices and features and require disclosure of odds and virtual-currency exchange rates.
Checklist
| Check | Pass condition | Fail action |
|---|---|---|
| Banner id / season | Live banner build id matches disclosure page version | Block ads |
| Per-item probabilities | Every featured item probability on the banner equals disclosure | Hotfix or pause |
| Pity / hard pity | Pity counters described identically in UI and disclosure | Align copy |
| Currency FX | Real-money cost path matches disclosure (no hidden re-exchange) | Fix shop UX |
| Ad creative | UA cut does not imply higher odds than disclosure | Kill cut |
| Capture | Dated screenshot pair stored with build hash | Required artifact |
Facts versus limits
| Field | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Document date | 2025-01-17 FTC press release |
| Event Banner allegation | Summarised in that release |
| JP CAA / KR KCC body-read in this draft | **No** — unresolved |
| Observed banner+disclosure pairs | None attached |
Research checked 20 September 2026. Local draft; human editorial review pending. No CMS write.
