"He actually cannot stop. He's really addicted to this. This case is an important first step in holding these gambling platforms accountable. Gambling addiction in minors is steadily increasing, and it's not happening by accident."
"Stake regularly uses streamers and celebrities, including the Canadian rapper Drake, to promote the platform. The lawsuit alleges these types of promotions have normalized high-risk gambling behavior."
A lawsuit has been filed against the Stake online gaming platform by a Florida law firm, claiming it allowed an underage gambler. This is the first lawsuit alleging underage use among several legal battles against sweepstakes casinos. The plaintiff, represented by the Rafferty, Domnick, Cunningham and Yaffa law firm, reportedly developed a gambling addiction after being exposed to gambling content through social media influencers. The lawsuit argues that Stake's promotions normalize high-risk gambling behavior and that the company knowingly entices young people to gamble.
