They could if that's how the games were set up. For instance, you enter a game and part of the game involves mechanics where you may lose your tickets to other patrons.
However, in no case do players in Achaea have the ability to take what you bought away from them. What you buy is credits. Once you spend those credits, all bets are off. You want to spend them on in-game gold? Ok, but thieves may steal all your gold if you don't take precautionary measures, etc.
Anyway, I don't want to get sucked into a time-wasting discussion on the matter. Until someone sues us and wins, we'll continue operating as we choose to, based on the legal advice we've received from our lawyers, whose opinions are the only ones that tangibly matter to us regarding matters of the law.
