Re:Loot boxes are obviously gambling

I think the big reason that Magic never ramped up so much is because of the fact that it's a physical pack. You can only buy however much is in stock (at most) and even when you order a booster box or fat pack online, it still has a delay before it arrives. With the online model it's really easy to just keep pulling the lever over and over again and getting an instant response.
Also, gambling is usually restricted, either by location or by age. Are games with lootboxes 18+?
