Austrian Supreme Court rules Fifa packs are not gambling, denies refund requests

The Austrian Supreme Court ruled that "Fifa packs" are not gambling, denying players the right to demand refunds for their purchases. The court determined that the game relies on player skill and strategy, not solely on chance, even though pack contents are randomized. This decision impacts numerous pending cases seeking refunds. This ruling clarifies that the game's mechanics, including loot boxes, are an extension of gameplay rather than a standalone gambling activity.
