Both Evolution and Pragmatic Play ended their cooperation with Stake.us after the City of Los Angeles started a lawsuit for possible illegal gambling operations. Next.io reports that this legal action names several provider studios, including Evolution’s Nolimit City, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, and NetEnt.
Legal and Regulatory Pressure
In another development, California lawmakers see proposal AB 831 progressing; if passed, it would make helping sweepstakes casinos a criminal act. Suppliers are coming under focus, with industry experts identifying them as points of weakness in casino operations linked to sweepstakes.
Stake’s Response
Stake disagrees with the accusations and announces its readiness for legal defence against the claims made by the City of Los Angeles. The media outlet Next.io asks Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and Hacksaw for their public statements about this lawsuit.
