Lasnik said seven class members opted out of the settlement, but there were no formal objections to the deal. Lawyers for International Game Technology did not immediately respond to a similar request. The class attorneys argued users were entitled to pursue their losses under a Washington state law.ĭoubleDown and its lawyers on Friday did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Tens of thousands of class members 'purchased and lost chips' by wagering at DoubleDown Casino, the plaintiffs' lawyers alleged.

The lawsuit said consumers wager to acquire more chips that they otherwise would need to buy. The games are free to play, but users pay for additional chips. They argued that the plaintiffs' claims 'rest on novel and untested interpretations of Washington's gambling laws.' International Game Technology, based in the U.K., and DoubleDown have denied any liability. Online consumers alleged 'social casino' games developed by the defendants 'constitute unlawful gambling under Washington's gambling laws.' The settlement was the latest in a series of related cases.
