Your concern is is totally fair. Monetization in general is sensitive.
I'm not a lawyer so I can't speak to any legal specifics. From what I understand, the legal line usually depends on how directly real-world money ties into the randomness, but you bring up a great point.

I agree there may already be a long-term plan for Rip Chips. At the same time, I currently have over 150,000 and plan to purchase the skate.Pass again. As a premium user, the 24-hour day pass still doesn't reduce that balance. That said, I don't think a currency sink should exist just for the sake of having one. It should feel fair and beneficial for both the business and the player.
