There is ONE aspect of buying astral shards to reroll daily dice that MIGHT be problematic: equivalence transactions ie is the value of the reward equivalent to the shard you invested obtaining it?
This is where SSG might stumble not just in china but any country. And I know this because a recent case a few montsh ago was settled inwhich a gaming company was forced to change the way rewards worked because the random reward wasn;t guaranteed to be equivalent in value to the coins invested

When you purchase a daily dice roll you're putting coins in a machine and pressing some buttons in the expectation that a particular range of events will occur.
If you really want to keep blargulating when you're clearly wrong feel free too but I feel that my obligation to educate you about gambling has expired.

well..if ddo dice is Gambling> it would be illegal in Utah too 
its one of those things that sits on the fence between ... & could be called either way
I'm not to worried about ddo dice...the one that gets me thinking are the 'free' giveaways on places like Radio programs. When they require a TEXT to be eligible at 1$ a message and still call it a giveaway! At least you know what you're purchasing with DDO dice. DDO gives you a product you can do anything with and that is astral shards> how you use them may be a gamble but its not really gambling technically.

I didn't read the new york article because of cookies blah blah however variety carried an article:
//Games operators will be barred from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. Operators will be required to set limits on how much players can top up their digital wallets for in-game spending https://variety.com/2023/gaming/news/china-online-games-regulations-1235849353/ //
THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO GAMBLING. The chinese government wants to impose curbs possoibly including reducing traffic pressure on their network infrastructure. Addiction issues may also be involved
Same, they are ironically some of the nicer players I've met and interacted with over the years even with the language barrier.

Actually this opens a whole new can of worms for gaming companies: are the days of free2play under threat simply because they generate too much network traffic...and not enough revenue?

They are simply halting the outflow of hard earned China cash. Stopping the purchases of players of a non-local game is intended to fix the bankruptcy situation that the entire county is/is about to experience. One daily roll at a time.
And besides, you should remember that Durk has a secret. shhhhh
