Pennsylvania residents sue DraftKings in federal class action
Five Pennsylvania residents filed a federal class action against DraftKings in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that its “risk-free” and “no sweat” promotions concealed restrictive conditions and failed to protect people at risk of gambling harm. As of 20 May, DraftKings had made no public statement or filed a legal response; the plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial and class-action status.
The case puts DraftKings’ promotional practices and safeguards for Pennsylvania customers at issue in court.
