I don't quite follow why you're saying that, but as per my brief previous comment, I'm not saying it's a natural law, nor a game.

Sorry, I thought you were implicitly calling it as a game (which is IMO the correct and true view), since cheating can only happen in a game where there are established rules.

Not particularly; I think you can call almost anything a game if you like. But I don't think it's especially a game, nor a natural law.

I don't see why anyone would characterise some people choosing to spend and lose their money as "cheating".
