So are you saying the loot box model is more addictive than standard gambling? There are currently efforts to implement more skill-based gambling into digital gambling, ie fight game machine tournaments with money stakes, etc

Once it starts being skill based it changes from pure gambling to skill based betting.

Loot boxes are purely "luck" based gambling, where your "luck" is dynamically altered based on how much the operators are get you addicted. Including occasional "free" rewards to encourage you to buy more with actual money.
