Ha, quoting wiki. Funny. Anyway, you don't wager (bet) the SparkCash or previous tokens. You trade them in for another turn. You might get something of lesser value than the original amount of SC, but you still get something. Is it a chance? Sure. But I don't think it falls into gambling/gaming as something regulated by law, at least in the US. Otherwise those little carnival games where you pick a duck out of the water would require a gaming license.
Is there some risk involved? Of course. But that's like saying buying life insurance is gambling that you'll die before you pay more into it than you'll get out. Not every risk-taking endeavour is gambling, except perhaps in the colloquial sense.
I hope this post makes as much sense later in the day as it does now.
