A class action lawsuit was filed Monday in Missouri's Jackson County Circuit Court, Independence, claiming that Canadian rapper Drake and influencer Adin Ross promote illegal and predatory gambling. The suit also targets Stake.com's parent company, Sweepstakes Limited.

From CasinoReports.com:

The 34-page complaint claims that Independence, Missouri, resident Justin Killham lost money on Stake because of “wrongful trade practices,” including Stake’s sweepstakes casino being used as a lure. The suit calls online gambling “highly addictive and strictly regulated in Missouri.” It seeks damages to be determined by a jury.

Online gambling is illegal in Missouri, although the mobile and retail sports betting market is set to launch Dec. 1.

John Feldman, a partner in the Entertainment and Media Industry Group at global law firm Reed Smith who counsels on gambling regulatory issues, said the Missouri suit is compelling in that it targets two personalities that differentiate Stake.com from its competitors.

“What I think can be really interesting, and you see this in a couple of cases, is that there could be liability for people who are involved, people who facilitate the sweepstakes casinos,” he told Casino Reports, noting he had not read the Missouri suit. “To me, that is really interesting, whether platforms and/or other parties who may be involved, if there is the potential for platform liability or facilitator liability that is coming up in this area.”
