98.We consider loot boxes that can be bought with real-world money and do not reveal their contents in advance to be games of chance played for money’s worth. The Government should bring forward regulations under section 6 of the Gambling Act 2005 in the next parliamentary session to specify that loot boxes are a game of chance. If it determines not to regulate loot boxes under the Act at this time, the Government should produce a paper clearly stating the reasons why it does not consider loot boxes paid for with real-world currency to be a game of chance played for money’s worth.
Content in TH chests are REVEALED. Sorry to correct you. Besides, this is only a suggestion to the Governments. If you read the entire 84 page document, you should see that the DCMS actually asked for the government to encourage industry levies (like ESRB kind of labels, parental control and age verification) but no regulations.

According "if you pay money for a chance" idea, clue Scrolls are gambling. I pay membership fees so I can do clues. I pay membership so I can boss and do slayer for a chance at drops.
But just like you just said, you can buy membership with runescape money dont you? And since when did buying membership solve you a clue? Im not even sure if you are trolling because thats how bad your comparison was.
You can buy membership and play game-of-chance in Raffle. You don't need to solve a clue. So isn't membership gambling too?

To further correct your out-of-context quote, the entire quote is:
However, Section 6 of the Gambling Act is only applicable to games with a real money cash out mechanism, which again, not the case in TH.
