In order for anything to be a gamble, you have to make a bet, a wager.
This does not include;
viii) participation in any game or contest in which participants do not stake or risk anything of value other than— (I) personal efforts of the participants in playing the game or contest or obtaining access to the Internet; or
(II) points or credits that the sponsor of the game or contest provides to participants free of charge and that can be used or redeemed only for participation in games or contests offered by the sponsor;
Gachapon and miracle cubes cannot be obtained directly through payment. You pay for the NX, that's the intention of the NX gift card. I imagine because of that, the law recognizes the NX points then as "sponsored". Unless the prepaid cards are specifically for those functions, such as gachapon, cubing, surprise boxes, it's considered a "sponsored event". Again, that's my take on it.
