@GaryMahmud In gaming, Gacha is more like a random reward/lottery system where you roll to get items or characters for the game you're playing.

 

[GaryMahmud]

You PAY for a CHANCE

still Gambling @Kami_Nana

@GaryMahmud Gambling is for money and you often get nothing out of it. Lottery is a system of chance that always have a reward. You're paying for a random item...not a chance, itself. Or "Mystery Boxes" and the like would also be gambling. At least where games are concerned. Other lottery systems are most definitely gambling...

Let Me Simplify it even Further @Kami_Nana

BET + CHANCE = GAMBLING

 

[Kami_Nana]

@GaryMahmud It's not a bet, just a game of chance. Or do you think buying a set of Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic: The Gathering cards are gambling, too? Those are also completely random and you just got to hope you get a card/s that's usable for your deck.

My Statement still Stands, You Bet, Expect, Put Something Into Chance

it's Gambling, No Exceptions, Unless you haven't look up to meaning of any of these Terms @Kami_Nana

@GaryMahmud are baseball cards gambling then? You don't always get what you want, but according to the government, they aren't considered gambling.

 

[GaryMahmud]

@farhvt You Put Chance and Money Into It? Gambling

Baseball cards aren't gambling since you get something of physical value which can be sold for a profit later, while gacha and loot boxes are since all you get are what amounts to a few KB or MB of data which aren’t physical and have no inherent value of their own aside from that of the game it’s in. There was a whole senate hearing on this alongside many government bodies who discussed this in great detail. Gacha is gambling while trading cards are a gamble but not gambling, you may not know what you’re going f to get but whatever you do get is something of physical value.
