Uh oh, looks like all the Borderlands games are illegal. Gearbox better watch out
Too bad lootboxes are banned in a lot of countries so you couldn't make a closer analogy...
The only loot boxes in Borderlands are the actual boxes of loot you find in the game world playing the game like any other box of loot in an RPG. Unless there's a new one I haven't heard of that contains MTX loot boxes.

Or are you like @Detheroth and considering the event/pre-order exclusive codes needed to unlock golden keys as a lootbox, despite them not actually selling them for money? FFS, you can cheat to obtain these things by just copying your save file, since they're stored locally on your profile.
If you had argued over the season pass shit, you'd have somewhat of a point, though not anything to do with gambling. But you decided to focus on lootboxes.
For someone who calls everyone else stupid, you're pretty damn ignorant yourself.

Google "Borderlands Golden Keys". Been in the game since BL2 and was causing a stink even back then. Sure there is nothing exclusive to the Golden Chests (that I know of), but they are a quintessential Lootbox.
You mean the event exclusive shit you don't actually have to pay for (outside of attending the events/seeing social media posts/the few that come with a DLC pack)?
Per Gearbox's official site for the game:
