Balatro creator LocalThunk said that they have put it in measures to prevent the game from becoming a real gambling game, even after their death.
“From the outside this might make 0 sense but I hate the thought of Balatro becoming a true gambling game so much that when I recently created my will I stipulated that the Balatro IP may never be sold or licensed to any gambling company/Casino,” they posted on Twitter.

Earlier this year, Balatro was actually pulled from European storefronts due to unfounded worries that the game actually promoted gambling. Balatro has become a huge hit, selling more than one million copies in its first month.
