A RICO class action lawsuit has been filed in New Jersey federal court targeting operators of online sweepstakes casinos, including High 5 Casino, WOW Vegas, CrownCoins Casino, and McLuck, as well as tech giants Apple and Google, over alleged illegal gambling practices. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and recovery of losses for users. This legal action highlights growing concerns over the regulation of online gambling platforms. Separately, allegations have been raised against top mobile games, such as Monopoly Go, for violating advertising rules related to loot boxes. A BBC investigation indicates that nearly 90% of mobile games with loot boxes fail to disclose them in ads, raising transparency concerns. Additionally, Valve's Steam platform faces an expanded antitrust lawsuit, now classified as a class action, which could impact anyone who has paid a commission to Valve since 2017.
