The main difference between the terms is that for gaming the outcome is achieved by skill, not📉 chance, whereas for gambling, the opposite is true. Many gaming activities now include gambling features and vice versa. These activities📉 are referred to as gambling-like gaming and gaming-like gambling.

Regulators then rank the game in question on this scale. If the game📉 falls closer to the skill-based end of the spectrum, then it's sufficiently skill-based to not count as gambling. If the📉 game predominantly relies on chance with only some elements of skill, then it is considered gambling.
