Loot boxes aren't gambling.

When you gamble, you stand to lose something. However, when you purchase a loot box, you always get rewarded with something. It may not be what you wanted but it's something. If the loot box was empty, then there's a problem.

The salient point is that you stand to gain something, not lose something. You are paying money for a chance at a reward, which is a system that psychologically manipulates the consumer in exactly the same manner as formal gambling. Ergo, similar regulations are needed to restrict that psychological manipulation.
