Though it's against the TOS, accounts have resale value. Therefore it's gambling. The market determines value, not Kabam's TOS.
You're not playing games of chance for money. You receive no money from the game.

What comes of it is yet to be seen. Apple has no authority over in-game currency, for that matter.
P.s. you always wi.
Not all contracts are legal. You can't have a contract to sell you own kid or own a slave. You guys keep throwing the TOS around like it's airtight. It's just a bunch of words that may or may not hold it court.
Are you sure about that? It’s related to loot boxes you can purchase. Apple’s guidlines have included a no gifting of IAPs clause for 2 years now, yet we’re gifting today.
Btw look up the tos challenges that came from Second Life changing their TOS and how people who challenged it lost.
Nope, but they have the ability and the legal jurisdiction to exclude apps from their own app store for not following the guidelines. How long would Kabam hold out if that actually happened to MCoC? They'd fold in about thirty seconds. Lol.
You're missing the point of what I'm saying. They're not going to manipulate the game into complying in all its in-app content. That's a stretch, even for my own views on Apple. They can make it a requirement for purchases made in the App Store. They can't force an App to list those things in the game. They do not have the authority, and they're not about to overstep legal bounds. This applies to the App Store.
If you’re trying to say that a digital reward is not an item of value, that is certainly untrue. Whatever you want to call it, Players pay money to buy chances at winning rare game items that help us compete in the game. Kabam shouldn’t need to be forced to provide us with the odds for the items they make available for us to purchase, they should do it on principal. If Kabam chooses not to comply with Apple’s new guidelines or changes aspects of the game to avoid posting odds, my conclusion will be, that The company & forum Mods have not been honest with us. There is no reason for them not to do it, unless the odds are not fixed percentages, and in game modifiers are being used to determine outcomes. Posting the odds will not result in lower game revenues.
While we are awaiting Kabam’s response, I ask the Mods to clear up one thing. The 5* Premium Hero Crystals Cost 5000 shards more than a basic 5* crystal. 5,000 shards whether you buy them or earn them, they have a real $ cost/value to most players. Im not sure how this number was calculated but there seems to be a player consensus that the probability of getting the featured champ Is between 20-25%. Can we get some response if not an actual number?
Does the additional 5,000 5* shards for a featured 5* crystal provide at least a 20% probability to pull the featured champ?
You're not purchasing the Items. Any purchase made belongs to Kabam. You are in essence renting permission to use it. There is no return on purchases made. You don't own the Items, the Account, or any part thereof. As for the conjecture, I do not agree that they haven't been honest with us, so I will leave it as your view.
My views on Apple extend much further than this game, which is why I've kept them to myself, save for a question answered. I do not purchase Apple. I do not support the company. There's a reason I play Android. However, we are on a Website provided by Kabam, who produce the game we are discussing. Lol. No one is cramming anything down anyone's throat or forcing us to do anything.
You're against Apple imposing it's might on Kabam with it's App Store policy, yet you're for Kabam imposing and enforcing their policies on us. You remind us all the time, "It's Kabam's game they can do what they want". So can Apple.
The negative views you have towards Apple are the same many of us have towards Kabam.
Omg, you're the one who first brought it up in this thread!
Do you have selective memory?
I would suggest looking into the meaning of conspiracy because you've cited it several times and it still doesn't apply.
This is all down to E.A making such bad decisions an unbelievable greed with battlefront front 2 loot boxes that it's caused some members of government in certain states an an counties to actually step up an do some about it. Apple are just getting ahead of what will become law in the very near future.
P.s please don't feed the troll
Great, apart from the fact that Apple has looked at these type of purchases for this game a few times before, and passed them as not covered by any rules asking for drop rates. Like every time
Apart from the fact that your completely wrong, great post
But how is it shady from Apple? They are helping gamers, by us being able to see the chances before spending £300.
Next your gonna say you suppose EA charging £80 for a game to play on console, and then have in game transactions for loot boxes which can just speed up your progression.
There is no conspiracy unless its by app publishers.
This is a very misleading percentage. Many of the MCOC players move to apple devices to have faster game play for arena/legends. Also, they wouldn't lose 100% of apple players if they had to close the apple app, many of those players would migrate.
The biggest hit will come from attaining new customers which they will need to do if they still plan to last to 2025.
Sorry bro, you do have to accept it cus it happened.
Wrong.
They have authority over the entire app. Good stuff tho...
Hey bud! It’s almost as if he gets paid per stupid post. Better things to do with your time.
