Bay State resident Daniel Arroyo’s filing in Suffolk County Superior Court takes issue with the promotion and design of DraftKings and FanDuel’s online wagering apps.
Arroyo alleges that FanDuel and DraftKings “exploit users’ vulnerabilities through constant accessibility on smartphones, turning a simple tap into an unlimited gateway for compulsive betting.” The suit also takes issue with DraftKings and FanDuel’s VIP programs, their deployment of “risk-free” bets and their delivery of promotional content.
The suit was filed by the same group of attorneys who were involved in a landmark California lawsuit against Meta and YouTube that found the companies liable for designing platforms that attract young people and include features that foster addictive behavior.
