Gordon v. DraftKings, Inc.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing DraftKings, a daily fantasy sports and online sports betting platform, alleging the company misled customers about the true nature and odds of its promotional offers and contests. The plaintiffs claim DraftKings made deceptive representations to entice users to deposit money and participate in contests, while concealing material information that would have affected their decisions to spend money on the platform. The lawsuit argues that DraftKings' marketing and business practices were unfair and deceptive under applicable consumer protection laws. The proposed class is expected to include consumers across the United States who deposited money and participated in DraftKings contests or promotions during a specified period and were allegedly harmed by the company's misleading practices.
