Horn and Amazon seek more time for social casino lawsuit talks
Steven Horn and Amazon asked the US District Court for the Western District of Washington to keep their case on hold until 10 October, according to a joint filing cited in the report. The parties said they had made progress in mediation earlier in the year and would update the court if they did not reach an agreement. Horn alleges Amazon facilitated and profited from illegal gambling through its app distribution network; Amazon has sought dismissal and denied responsibility for third-party apps.
The case may affect how app distribution platforms face claims involving social casino games.
