  That makes sense. Not a misconfiguration on the site’s end then. Thanks for the clarification.

  Weird. I’ve tested on a desktop and mobile device. Both loaded the archive.is link via Tor Browser (no extensions) without a problem in both “Normal” and “Safer” modes. “Safest” mode fails at the CAPTCHA page but that’s expected.

  Maybe the node(s) you were connected to were having issues with that domain at the time.

  What browser are you using and with what plugins?

  Lootboxes.

  Players have a random chance of getting crate while playing the game. Each crate is a pool of item cosmetics with various levels of rarity. To acquire one of them the player must purchase a one-use key with real money. Expending the key on a crate initiates a die roll that determines which cosmetic is unlocked.

  That’s the gambling they’re responsible for. What gambling players may of afterward is not the same conversation.
