Even if the majority of RS players aren't technically 'kids', I'm sick to death of developers incorporating gambling into their games. Whether it be through Loot Boxes, SoF/TH, or anything else. What happened to putting effort into producing quality content that people are happy to pay money for? Unbelievable how lazy companies have become.
In OSRS's case it was the playerbase that introduced gambling by using some of the rng elements of the game (dicing, flowers, toy horses etc). The only thing Jagex themselves added was the duel arena which, as wildly popular as it is, just became a hub for scamming and RWT rather than a "minigame".

“People are continually pointing out to me the wretchedness of white people in order to console me for the wretchedness of blacks. But an itemized account of the American failure does not console me and it should not console anyone else. That hundreds of thousands of white people are living, in effect, no better than the "African Americans" is not a fact to be regarded with complacency. The social and moral bankruptcy suggested by this fact is of the bitterest, most terrifying kind.”
