They also argued that while the virtual chips could not be redeemed for actual money, their value within the game amounts to gambling as defined by statute. In filing the suit in 2018, original plaintiffs Adrienne Benson and Mary Simonson said they hoped to represent a class of “ll persons in the United States who purchased and lost chips by wagering at the DoubleDown Casino” and to recover those losses on behalf of the class.īoth Benson and Simonson claimed they were not aware of the games’ terms of use as these were not easily accessible on the site. In its most recent trading update, DoubleDown said operating costs of $128.6m included $71.5m of expenses associated with the Benson class action complaint.
This is on top of the $150m accrued in the second quarter. IGT said the settlement agreement would add a $119.8m non-operating expense in the third quarter related to the incremental loss associated with the Benson case and related claims between IGT and DoubleDown and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. Subject to final court approval of the settlement of the Benson v DoubleDown Interactive LLC et al lawsuit, IGT and DoubleDown have also resolved all indemnification and other claims between themselves and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates relating to the case. IGT said that under the terms of the settlement, all members of the class action who do not exclude themselves will release all claims relating to the subject matter of the lawsuit.
