The auction house itself would not be considered gambling. But *maybe* the auction house can make the game itself be - since you're paying money (game purchase and/or subscription fee) for a chance to get an in-game item worth real-world money. That's a pretty wide definition of gambling, but it's one that at least won't be laughed straight out of court. Whether it's enough to win a case, I don't know, but at least there IS a case.
