A 'prize competition' is classified with rules by most gambling statutes and so would likely apply in part to Boss Strikes especially as they are offered up as events and not constantly available parts of the game.

Even if z2 decided to spin the Boss strike as a lottery (game of chance) they would have to show that a significant number of potential participants aren't put off by the odds which might not be the case with the first event but now we are pretty much all aware of how hard to achieve the top tier prize will be, the next event could all foul of that rule and make the next event a 'game of skill' which has tighter rules and might require z2 to hold a gambling licence in each country in which the game is played and they would have to prove that (and here is the important part) AN INDIVIDUAL has a fair chance to win ALL AVAILABLE prizes. Being part of a guild and a guild having a greater chance of winning a prize doesn't cover z2's ass as guilds can't be classed as syndicates as they aren't formalised and acknowledged in name by all it's members (not a signed agreement, members don't know each others indentities etc.).
