Magic the Gathering also has the benefit of training the children in manipulating complex systems with strict rules and adversaries. The amount of abstract thinking, long-, mid- and short-term planning, statistics, environment surveying, ... I will literally do my best to get my children into this or a similar game.
But that doesn't detract from the previous commenter's point: gambling aimed at children has always been there. Internet is merely an amplifier here.

All those positive things can be learned in ways that do not require kids to play super expensive pay to win game.
