So like, how do refunds work?
If you can't get a refund and you paid double, you're screwed and you might not even get a satisfactory product. But if you can get a refund, you can just try it and immediately get a refund if it didn't go your way, breaking the system.
On the flip side, if you won the gamble and paid nothing, you might still get a shit product. In this case you can't get a refund because you didn't pay anything, but the product still isn't worth its purported price, and you still took the gamble based on this false value. It's still a rip-off.
Maybe gambling and shopping don't go together quite as well as it first appears.
I’d imagine it would refund the cost of the product to you no matter the result of the coin flip since it is basically gambling. If you return it after getting it for free you get paid the cost and if you return it after paying double you still get back the cost.
That's just a casino.
Degenerates would just add the biggest items to their cart and gamble for the chance at 'free' money
