DraftKings Faces Class Action from New Jersey Man Over Deceptive Promotions; VGW Lawsuit Threatens Sweepstakes Operators Under Massachusetts Gambling Laws
DraftKings is facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that its sportsbook and online gambling promotions are misleading and deceptive, particularly targeting young sports fans. A New Jersey man claims that the company's 'no-risk' wagers were falsely advertised, as bettors received bonus bets of lesser value than promised. In a related development, a separate lawsuit has been filed against VGW, a major player in the sweepstakes casino sector, in Massachusetts. This lawsuit is said to pose a serious threat to the interests of sweeps-based operators, as it reportedly links their operations to Internet cafes, raising concerns about compliance with state gambling laws.
