DoubleDown Interactive agreed to a $415 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims its casino mobile games violated Washington’s gambling laws.
According to a class action lawsuit, DoubleDown’s games violate Washington’s laws against gambling. In order to play DoubleDown Interactive casino games, users are allegedly required to use in-game “chips.” Although consumers receive a bundle of free chips upon downloading the games, consumers are allegedly forced to purchase additional chips using real money.
“Defendants’ online casino games have thrived and thousands of consumers have spent millions of dollars unwittingly playing Defendants’ unlawful games of chance,” the gambling class action lawsuit contends.
Since the game chips are purchased with real money and are used to wager for more chips, the plaintiffs contend the casino mobile apps represent illegal gambling schemes. These apps allegedly violate Washington’s gambling laws and, therefore, plaintiffs say that they are entitled to recover the illegal profits gained by DoubleDown Interactive.
DoubleDown hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $415 million class action settlement to resolve these claims.
