I remember the Minecraft casino. While I never spent any money, it taught me that I should never gamble. For a few years after that the Minecraft exp collection sound would trigger a dopamine rush. Is the main reason I stopped playing MC too.

Meanwhile Roblox has their own faux stock market with no age requirement, complete with price charts on site, where players can invest in items and probably lose their money either on a bad bet, or from Roblox taking a cut off everything.
