California’s Illegal Online Gambling: Lawsuits Filed Against DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, and Fanduel
Have you ever wondered how online gambling platforms like DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, FanDuel and many others are able to operate in California despite gambling generally being prohibited in the state? You were right to wonder—our investigation has found that those websites and many other online gambling providers violate the California Penal Code and the California Civil Code.
Over the past two months, the Almeida Law Group has been leading the charge against illegal gambling platforms that take Californians’ hard-earned money and violate the law.
To date, we have filed class action suits against:
“As our lawsuits make clear, DraftKings, FanDuel, PrizePicks, Underdog and others knew (or should have known) that their online gambling operations in California were illegal. Our lawsuits seek to hold them accountable and refund the money that was wrongfully taken from Californians.”
Other online gambling operators we are continuing to investigate for violations of California law include:
- Kalshi
- Robinhood
- Sleeper
- Yahoo Daily Fantasy
- Dabble
- Betr
Case Developments:
- Franks et al. v. SidePrize LLC d/b/a PrizePicks – Motion to Dismiss Opposition
- Zhen et al. v. DraftKings, Inc. – Motion to Dismiss Opposition
