Trading options is gambling. It is.

Just because TDAmeritrade has a very spartan UX doesn't mean people haven't made very stupid trades on it.

You are right, but Options trading isn't available to people with less than $5k deposits on Robinhood and I think same is true with margins.

Robinhood is more agressive when it comes to margin calls, that actually protects inexperienced investors.
