To 'whale' in a game or 'whaling' is a term for gamers or gambling addicts who spend a good huge amount of money on video games or casinos. Since a whale is huge and they pay hugely for gambling or gaming, you can see why [this is a thing]. With gamers, [microtransactions] existed for them within free-to play games (e.g. loot boxes, in-game currency, booster packs, cosmetics, etc.), gacha-like games, [mobile games], battle-royale games or anything along those lines. Gamblers are people who whale tons of cash on slot machines, poker and other natures of casino games and gambling. "Whales" was a phrase first used by video game publishers to describe their main customers who insufferably liked to gamble their money for in-game items.
