Poker is also skill based and also gambling. The concept that gaming lootboxes isn’t gambling because there’s some tangential element of skill involvement is just a strange way trying to protect something that is obviously gambling. It’s not complicated. The only complicated element is that these business grew large enough to get lobby orgs influencing politicians before the law got effectively enforced. You won’t ever see a casino with kids running rampant getting away with a shrug and “how are we going to enforce age restrictions” yet gaming companies get away with this all the time.
