Online gambling operator, Stake is set to be hit with a lawsuit in California court.

Court documents revealed that Dennis Boyle is set to take action against the firm over allegations of the operation of an illegal gambling website in the US.

At the heart of the case is Stake’s social casino and sweepstakes offerings, with the plaintiff alleging that there is false marketing around free gaming from the firm, making the case that this is a violation of California civil code.

The complaint stated: “Because social casinos operate as if they are not subject to gambling regulations, they do not comply with the regulations that govern the operation of slot machines or other gambling.”

The plaintiff alleges that the gambling brand provides real-money, online wagering that is falsely marketed as free gaming. Stake’s alleged misconduct is considered a violation of California civil code as it provides unlawful online gambling and engages in unfair business practices.
