What is gambling? (Destiny)

Is that really part of what makes it gambling?

You would need to make MTG booster packs count as gambling then. After all, you can sell your cards, and the value contained in the pack is random.


I'd say they meet the Wikipedia definition of gambling, although an especially low stakes form since you always win something.

There are a lot of aspects of our society that are basically some form of gambling, but we don't think of them that way. Insurance and investing are two.

My post was focused on the "predatory" aspect that Kahzgul was discussing, but I beg to differ that nothing of value is at stake. There is perceived value or the transaction wouldn't take place.
