Dragon Stones are premium currency used to summon on banners. These banners fail into same category as loot boxes. It doesn't mattter whether zou are using Dragon Stones or real money because once you reach the end-game content you are either relying on stones given from events, login bonuses etc. OR by buying the stones for real money. While in past virtual game currency was used to circumweight the gambling aspect (because you were able to get decent amount for free) however some companies started to get greedy (EA and their Star Wars Battlefront II opened Pandorra Box although I beleive that FUT implemented in FIFA is much worse in long term, but that is for another discussion).

By the way guys - while it seems that the world of microtransactions will change IF the bill passes it will not mean the end of gacha games. The point is that while Dokkan might be one of the bigger ones there are still thousands, tens of thousands other games using same or similar mechanism as Dokkan Battle (some are worse, some are better). There might be some other options - paid subscription, giving the featured cards after some condition is met etc. I would not worry that much at the moment.
