Re:Loot boxes are obviously gambling by daveFNbuck on Tuesday May 29, 2018 @01:44AM (#17176768)
It's pretty obvious that both CCGs and loot boxes are forms of gambling. The question is what effects they're having and how they need to be regulated. Loot boxes have a lot more of the features that make gambling a problem, and children are less equipped to handle it. It's reasonable to regulate the benign thing differently from the harmful thing.

I think it is more clear that a CCG is a form of gambling. Loot boxes do not give you anything that you can redeem for cash.
