Don't agree with their definition? Shrug! Just don't buy loot
boxes
cases then.

Of course they're gonna claim their game doesn't provide gambling, if they did that would mean they'd have to prove all players are of legal gambling age (which they can't do), plus pay additional taxes, plus any underage players that purchase said lootboxes would result in criminal charges against the company for soliciting underage gambling.
I'm sure many casino's would also love to claim their
lootboxes
games of chance are not gambling too, that doesn't mean they aren't.
Personally curious I asked several people today (IRL) this question without mentioning lootboxes at all:

Ask the above question and see your responses to determine if it should be classified as gambling or not.
If they don't consider it gambling then casinos (Real or online) also don't offer gambling and everyone should be allowed to play regardless of age because that's exactly what they do; sell you "chips" that are then used to have a chance of getting what you want whilst also having a chance of not getting what you want.

What would you call purchasing an item, token, or whatever; that is then used or directly gives a chance of getting what you want whilst also having the chance of getting what you don't want?

Ask
If you think something is "gambling" and you don't like it, don't do it.
If you think re-rolling clue scroll is gambling and you don't like it, just don't do it.
If you think staking in Duel Arena is gambling and you don't like it, just don't do it.
Let's the ones who like the activities do it.

Agreed. Exactly to my point. It is getting younger people that lie about their age when creating an account, addicted to gambling from playing TH.

Paying for membership doesn't directly give you the loot or clue reward, whereas buying keys directly leads to opening TH chests, no extra steps in between. I've already told you this many times before, why do you conveniently forget about it? So that we can go through the same conversation again and again to inflate your post count?
Agreed, that was my point. TH involves real life money.

What if they knew it was gambling???? They can't say its gambling, otherwise they would loose money that greedily need.
Jagex already said buying BA random reward is "GAMBLING". The in game NPC said it.
So what? People still GAMBLE with BA points. Shrug!

Asking random people, as most laws are created due to society feedback and people attempting to exploit loopholes, hence the push from society for this system to become regulated.
You're also comparing non-real money activities to a real-money activity, so all of your examples are invalid.
Try again please.

So Jagex stated that TH is gambling. Jagex also admitted that they know there are those who play the game that are under 18. Thus.... Jagex admitted that they are letting minors(those under the age of 18) gamble. I wounder how legal that is on the internet?
