Also, them putting that level of abstraction, - buying a key, not the box - makes it look even more shady. They intentionally add another step to deny liability and comparison to traditional gambling. And, being not gambling per law, they are npt even controlled by the regulation existing for gambling machines, e.g. distribution of loosing and winning outcomes.
