What are Donations?
Donations are given without return consideration.
So in the end it's pure generosity of private servers that they give any items in return at all.
(Although you are expecting it because every server does it - but it is not your right to expect it)
I don't want to defend Loot boxes I hate that you started seeing them across all private Server "stores". They are cash cows, no doubt about that. And admins would be stupid to make it (statistically) easier/cheaper getting cs pets through boxes than buying them straight away. (But theoretically you have the chance to get it with the first box, right? That's the thrill)
But please reconsider the word "donation" again and read your post one more time.
According to your post you would close all Casinos as well.

In fact, a transaction where one side invests real money and the other side returns ANYTHING, be it real, virtual goods or services, is no longer considered a donation in certain countries.
This is why when "donating" via PayPal, theres
Customer Protection.
It's not the genorosity of private servers, it's a
Shop you purchase virtual goods from. Doesn't matter if it's for a virtual currency which is paid with real money or with real money directly.
Back to the topic you replied to:
Even if there are verdicts to make game publishers obliged to make their percentages on loot boxes public or even remove loot boxes at all, consider that private servers are not affected by this for different reasons.
It's astonishing that everyone feels the need to call out server owners for each of their actions.

Hiding them leaves players in a situation to either buy more and more until they get it or stop buying and accepting their big loss. I'd suggest to refund donations that were spend on these boxes.

So if you're in a casino and you lose when playing Roulette, do you request a refund because there's no open information about your odds of winning right at the table?
It's RNG on both occasions, you're
gambling. Please don't make absurd requests, gambling with boxes was a thing for like forever in Flyff, even retail never published any odds or refunded because someone was salty.
