There are games with loot-boxes that I believe have implemented it fairly so it is difficult to generalize this for a law. I am thinking of games like Star Trek Online. It has loot boxes but overall a very fair monetization in my opinion and one of the best models I have ever seen for a free to play game. Don't know if that changed since I played that ages ago but it still is very alive as far as I know. You were able to buy loot-boxes with ingame currency too via currency conversion and there was a market where players could trade ingame vs bought currency. It was or is a really smart system.
In general I hate f2p games and any kind of micro-transaction with a loathing passion but this is an example of an extremely fair system in my opinion. I will certainly not play Diablo Immortal. In my opinion they killed the IP and I don't believe Blizzard will ever get to its former success even when completely discounting WoW.
