Massachusetts Residents File Potential Class-Action Lawsuit Against DraftKings Over Bonus Promotion

Residents of Massachusetts have recently filed a potential class-action lawsuit against DraftKings, one of the leading daily fantasy sports sites in the United States. The lawsuit alleges that DraftKings misled its customers with a bonus promotion that was not as generous as advertised.

The lawsuit was filed in the Massachusetts Superior Court on behalf of two customers who claim they were misled by DraftKings’ bonus promotion. The promotion promised customers a bonus of up to $200 if they deposited at least $5 into their DraftKings account. However, the lawsuit alleges that customers were only able to receive a bonus of $10, regardless of how much they deposited.

The lawsuit claims that DraftKings violated Massachusetts consumer protection laws by misrepresenting the terms of the bonus promotion. It also claims that DraftKings violated the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act by failing to provide customers with a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the terms and conditions of the promotion.

The lawsuit seeks damages for all customers who were affected by the bonus promotion. It also seeks an injunction to prevent DraftKings from engaging in similar deceptive practices in the future.

The case is still in its early stages, and it remains to be seen whether it will be certified as a class-action lawsuit. If it is certified, it could have far-reaching implications for DraftKings and other daily fantasy sports sites. It could also set a precedent for other companies that engage in deceptive promotional practices.

In the meantime, customers should be aware of the terms and conditions of any promotions they are considering taking advantage of. It is important to read all the fine print before signing up for any promotions, and to be aware of any potential pitfalls. By doing so, customers can ensure that they are getting the best deal possible.
