We have players under the age of 18 if they do buy it is that illegal(online gambling).
It’s not gambling. You are GUARENTEED to get something, just maybe not what you want.
I guess lucky dips should be illegal for children too.
It is gambling.The item you want is not guaranteed when opening the chest,you buy the chests to get a chance on the weapon skins,and nothing else..How in the world are you missing the fact that this is gambling ?
Gambling “. To take a risk in the hope of gaining an advantage or a benefit.” " An act or undertaking of uncertain outcome; a risk: I took a gamble that stock prices would rise."
It’s not gambling, because you don’t have to buy it for the skin. The skin is just one possible item that you can get. It’s like buying a raffle. You get a raffle without any guarantee of getting anything except that you get nothing for buying it and only get something if you win. In this case, you’re buying something which contains something. It’s not TECHNICALLY gambling.
If you put a dollar in a slot machine there’s no guarantee you get anything out of it. If you buy a consortium chest, you get something for your money.
I mean for years, cereal packets have random prices in them. Collect all the toys. Collect all the stickers. We’ve seen McDonalds have a monopoly game where you have to get different pieces to get a chance to win.
Gambling? Nah, not really. But it’s still annoying as hell. lol
.Read the definition of gambling,because it is.And dont even compare gambling to cereal packets,wich you buy to Feed yourself and the toy is a little extra,you dont get a chance to get food,you get food for 100% and a chance on a toy.In this case,i would buy the chest to get the skin since im not interested in getting anything else,now if im buying 100 boxes because i want the weapon skin and i keep getting something else,How is this not gambling….? You can keep telling yourself it isn’t,but it is.
Again..Gambling; An act or undertaking of uncertain outcome; a risk
I buy those chest to get a weapon with uncertain outcome…it’s a risk……By your definition then, running a dungeon for tokens is a risk too, because there’s no guarantee you’ll complete it. It may be gambling in your mind, it’s not gambling by law. And that’s sorta what matters. You can’t regulate something that isn’t gambling.
Baseball cards have random cards in them, you buy them in packs for real money and there’s no guarantee you’ll get a good card. It’s not considered gambling.
It’s not by my definition,it’s by the Dictionairy’s definition,wich you can’t seem to grasp.
I can grasp that…sure, but it weakens your argument. Because by the dictionary definition, asking for a raise is a gamble, submitting a piece of writing to a publishing company is a gamble (I know I’ve done it…won some lost some), asking a girl out on a date is a gamble. The word gamble is widely used to mean a lot of things.
The problem is, the way you want to apply that to this is simply misleading. The gambling other people seem to be talking about is that of the illegal kind. And ALL of this really weakens the only real argument that can be used here.
Is it a bad thing for them to do? Calling it gambling doesn’t strengthen the argument against it, because it’s so easily dismissed. Calling it illegal likewise.
Calling it greedy, on the other hand, is a lot harder to refute. If you’re going to argue against something, using the wrong word doesn’t help you win.
