Random reward chest for cash- Legal??

Would brush up on your legal skills.

I guess it depends on where you are if it's illegal or not

Either way it’s a very crappy pack. How about guaranteed aeromagnifiers but with a random chance of how many. I almost bought the pack until a guildie explained that it’s only a small chance of getting the one valuable relic mat in the pack.

Do you have a link to the source for this being illegal?

OP is a Neimoidian

I think it is banned for minors in some countries and from what I read up it is also banned in Japan for games where you have to buy them in order to progress. In swgoh you don't have to buy them in order to progress, only to speed up that progression.

Edit.
When using in-game currency RNG is ok, but real money should be a no-no.

No legal problems here in this part of Europe as long as the probabilities for the various outcomes/drops are available

I am fairly certain all the laws I have seen have a specific definition of gambling and it must have a 0 value "loss" to be considered gambling. You cannot get this pack and get nothing.

I'm with OP. There's no way EA has lawyers that review offerings to determine the legality of those offerings. They don't even have two laptops, how could they have any lawyers?

So not illegal, but very shady business practices showing aeromagnifiers and those who don't scan thru the description don't understand that there is only a % chance to get those. Especially for $50
