Los Angeles sues Stake.us and suppliers over alleged illegal gambling

Enforcement & compliance

The city of Los Angeles filed a civil enforcement action in California Superior Court against Stake.us, its founders, its holding company EasyGo and suppliers including Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming. The city alleges the operation is an illegal gambling business and asks the court to stop it, recover player losses and impose civil penalties. A Stake spokesperson said the company had not been served and rejected the allegations.

The case puts operators and named suppliers at risk of court-ordered restrictions and financial remedies in California.
