I haven't played Balatro I'm here from all, but I thought I remember the devs coming out and saying it was explicitly NOT a gambling game. Is that not true?

It's a roguelite. That makes every run a gamble. You take chances and sometimes they make a good build, sometimes they fall apart.

It's not gambling in the sense of casino-style betting money on chance.
