I’m not particularly interested in getting into a deep dive on this, but couldn’t you argue that your time has a value and thus is a stake, or your feelings of success/failure in a given moment as response to a game state are “at stake,” or the given entry price (eg $15) of buying the game from Steam?
chance + stakes = gambling
chance + nothing = chance

In a loose definition that is.
