Free packs are not "gambling". Gambling is paying a cost to receive a reward which may be greater or lesser than the cost, hence "the risk". Free stuff is free stuff regardless of your RNG outcome. If you are rolling the RNG on a free pack then you have sacrificed nothing but the click on the free pack. The fact that CG used the same pack for a gift that they also use in the store is inconsequential. You received something with added no risk or cost to you.
In essence, I'm agreeing with the OP. I guess this should have been a reply to Jaines1's post about free packs still being classed as gambling.
While this pack is free, the prize outcome isn't guaranteed, which is why it is considered gambling. The uncertain prize could also lead to a compulsory response where someone might try again but using money to get a desired outcome. But I don't actually think the latter is the reason it's gambling, just another idea. It would be nice if CG would offer other avenues for these freebies for people in these locations so that all players can benefit.
