DraftKings
DraftKings built its brand on splashy promises like “100% deposit match,“ and “risk-free” bets. But once players hand over their money, the fine print kicks in: bonus funds dribble out in tiny increments, “risk-free” bets aren’t refunds, and features designed to turn new users into compulsive gamblers. For many, the result is the opposite of “free”—a new addiction, lost savings, and mounting debt.

At a Glance
Who is affected?
Anyone in the United States who opened a DraftKings Sportsbook account and placed wagers after accepting a “risk-free bet,” “deposit match,” or similar sign-up promotion. Also those who were targeted by “VIP Hosts” and DraftKings’s other promotional practices and developed compulsive gambling behaviors.
What it’s about
The suits claim DraftKings markets headline offers that sound like guaranteed value but are structured so that most players can’t reasonably obtain the advertised benefit, violating consumer protection laws and unfair trade practice statutes. The suits also alleged that DraftKings’s products and promotional practices are intentionally designed to lead users to develop gambling addictions.
Current stage
Class action complaints have been filed in Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey.
