It's not gambling. Gambling has a (small) chance of having a payoff, while loot boxes have absolutely no value at all, they are more like tossing coins into a fountain. You dump money in and get a pretty splash and absolutely nothing else in return. But it's not illegal.

Gambling has three elements to it, consideration (money spent), risk, and a prize. Lootboxes have all three of them. Though if you wanted to argue on that, there's already a front page article where people are saying similar things.

Another definition states that "Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome, with the primary intent of winning money or material goods." There are no (official, sanctioned, legal) mechanisms to get money or material goods from a lootbox, so it's not gambling as such and we're back to the fountain comparison

I was just being facetious, I'm really not interested in a discussion and I've been avoiding that thread for a reason. Pls no srs in EoF.

Maybe the definitions were made in a time before virtual rewards were a big thing? It could be time for reconsideration.

The definitions were made when gambling laws were made during the gambling boom in Paradise in Vegas more than 50 years ago and since laws are ridiculously behind technology AAA companies take the piss with it and turn games into extortion machines...

Anyway, as Veho said, let's not get serious in EoF

Good lord, that is a huge toad plush. I wonder if that is an officially license plush? If it is, I didn't know that they made him that huge!

Not to derail too far, but it might be worth searching for a company called Toy Factory. They make prizes for American arcades and commonly produce gigantic Nintendo plushies. I have a 4ft Pikachu plush in my bedroom, and I’ve seen a Mario from the same company at Dave N Busters before.
