Normally, yes, but Yotta looks like a form of “Prize-based savings”
…m.wikipedia.org/…/Prize-linked_savings_account
They are “no lose lottery” in the sense that you don’t put up money directly to enter, you just open a “savings account”. But they pay far less than market rate to fund the payouts. So in a sense, you pay for the entry with reduced returns on your “savings”.

So similar to premium bonds? Usually those are government backed though.

Yes, similar to government-backed premium bonds, in the countries where they do stuff like that. But they are not run by the government, so they need to be called something else.
