I wish lawmakers had some balls on this subject. If there's gambling, they should have to register as a gambling company and comply with all the other restrictions on gambling advertisements in each jurisdiction.

The problem here is that Baltaro does not have gambling. It just uses cards and chips as the basis for playing the game. Like Magic the Gathering or Inscryption.

Using chips is even a stretch honestly. There are some chip imagery here and there but otherwise 'chips' are just how points are called.

Exactly you never actually commit to any sort of wager or even an imitation of financial risk.
