Chumba Casino is a social casino that operates in the United States and Canada. A class action lawsuit has been filed against Chumba Casino, alleging that the casino has violated consumer protection laws and misled players.
The class action lawsuit alleges that Chumba Casino has violated consumer protection laws by misrepresenting the odds of winning and the value of virtual currency used in the casino. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that Chumba Casino has misled players by advertising “sweepstakes” instead of traditional gambling.
Remember to keep records of any virtual currency purchased or won, and the amount spent on the game. Be aware that social casinos are not regulated in the same way as traditional online casinos, and the odds of winning may not be the same.
The class action lawsuit against Chumba Casino is still ongoing and the outcome is yet to be determined. Players who believe they have been affected by the alleged misconduct should consult with a lawyer and consider joining the class action lawsuit.
VGW Malta Ltd., the owner of Chumba Casino and Luckyland Slots, has agreed to a substantial settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging violations of Kentucky gambling laws through the sale of virtual coins used in their slot games. Here are the key insights from the settlement:
VGW Malta Ltd. has agreed to pay $11.75 million to settle claims without admitting any wrongdoing. The settlement aims to avoid the costs and risks associated with continued litigation.
The settlement includes all Kentucky residents who spent $5 or more on Chumba Casino or Luckyland Slots within a 24-hour period from March 17, 2017, to March 17, 2022.
Amy Jo Armstead, the lead plaintiff, alleges she lost over $7,000 playing these games. She claims that VGW Malta’s operation of virtual casino games through Chumba Casino and Luckyland violates Kentucky gambling laws designed to protect individuals by engaging players with a “free to play” model that quickly transitions to requiring real money purchases.
Class members are eligible for a proportional payment from the settlement amount, which will be determined after the deduction of attorney fees, costs, and class representative payments. The exact amount received will depend on the total dollar amount of in-game purchases made and the number of class members submitting claims.
While VGW Malta denies all claims and insists it did not violate any laws, the decision to settle is presented as a means to avoid further litigation expenses and uncertainties.
