Major sports betting companies—FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Caesars—are facing lawsuits for allegedly designing addictive gambling apps. These lawsuits claim the companies used gamified interfaces, “risk-free” promotions, and VIP programs to encourage compulsive gambling, especially in young adults. Victims say they were targeted with personalized offers even after showing signs of addiction, leading to financial loss, emotional distress, and gambling addiction. Cities like Baltimore have also filed lawsuits, accusing the companies of deceptive marketing and failing to protect vulnerable users. Those who lost over $10,000 or developed gambling problems may be eligible to join these lawsuits.

Why Are FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Caesars Facing Lawsuits?

Across the country, lawsuits are claiming that major sportsbook operators intentionally built their apps in ways that encourage addictive gambling. According to these filings, the companies relied on tactics such as:

• Aggressive, “risk-free” offers and promotions that can mislead users about the actual financial risk
• VIP and loyalty programs that push high-spending bettors with exclusive perks and personalized bonuses
• Targeted, data-driven advertising aimed at users who are most vulnerable to addiction

Many lawsuits also assert that even when users showed obvious signs of compulsive gambling, the platforms failed to step in or provide meaningful safeguards.
