Big money on the line<\/h2>\n

Stake.US is facing another lawsuit just one week after the filing of a complaint in California. This time, it\u2019s in Illinois, with the law firm that secured a $25m class-action win in February against High 5 Games<\/a> now saying that the operator breached state gambling rules with its sweepstakes model.<\/p>\n

misleading users into thinking they\u2019re playing risk-free, casual games<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stake.US is facing allegations that it is running \u201can unlicensed and illegal online casino\u201d while simultaneously misleading users into thinking they\u2019re playing risk-free, casual games. As per Illinois law, all gambling must take place with a license from the state\u2019s regulator, which Stake.US does not have.<\/p>\n

The sweepstakes model<\/h2>\n

The lawsuit contends that Stake.US looks exactly like the popular Stake real-money gambling site, which was \u201crebranded to mislead regulators and consumers\u201d into thinking they were engaging in harmless gameplay.<\/p>\n

need to buy coin packages with real money if they want to be in with a chance of earning prizes<\/p>\n

The dual-currency system of Stake.US came in for special attention, with the Stake Cash option redeemable for real money prizes, unlike the Gold Coins alternative. Once players can\u2019t get any more Stake Cash through promotions, they need to buy coin packages with real money if they want to be in with a chance of earning prizes.<\/p>\n

This is despite the platform\u2019s use of the tagline \u201cno purchase is necessary\u201d to get Stake Cash, which the law firm Edelson claims is misleading.<\/p>\n

Seeking damages<\/h2>\n

Another aspect of the lawsuit is that the plaintiff claims Stake aggressively marketed to vulnerable people by frequently showing content of influencers winning big, which gives a false impression that large payouts are frequent. Prominent people who are partners of Stake include rapper Drake and UFC star Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n

\n

seeking compensation for his losses, statutory damages and to stop Stake from operating in Illinois<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The plaintiff in the case is Brayden Urdan, who lost over $15,000 on the site. He\u2019s seeking compensation for his losses, statutory damages, and to stop Stake from operating in Illinois.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit in California follows a similar format, with it being filed in federal jurisdiction rather than on a state level.<\/p>\n
