FWIW, Epic removing the gambling aspect to loot boxes a lot on Fortnite: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47039090

I am alright with cosmetic microtransactions, but I think "loot boxes" should be relegated to rewards for play. Microtransactions should be to buy specific items... but leave loot boxes as a way to get random ones for free through normal play.

"The loot llamas are available to buy in the Save The World game mode. The more popular Battle Royale mode does not have loot boxes for sale."

So those are irrelevant anyway?
