Did You Lose Money Playing on Stake.us? You May Be Entitled to Recover Your Losses.

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of individuals who spent and lost money playing Stake.us, an online sweepstakes-style casino.

Many states have gambling loss-recovery statutes and consumer-protection laws that may allow players to recover money they lost on online casino-style games that operate without a gaming license. Whether you may have a claim depends on your state of residence and the amount you spent.

What Happened?

Stake.us, operated by Sweepsteaks Limited, offers online casino-style games (such as slots and table games) through a "dual-currency" system: an entertainment coin (Gold Coins) used for free play with no cash value, and a separate "Sweepstakes" coin (Stake Cash) that can be redeemed for real cash or prizes.

Regulators, attorneys general, and courts in a number of states have raised concerns that this model functions as unlicensed online gambling — letting players spend real money for a chance to win cash while operating outside state gaming laws and consumer protections.

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP is investigating whether players who spent and lost money on Stake.us may be entitled to recover those losses under applicable state gambling loss-recovery statutes and consumer-protection laws.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if:

• You created an account and spent real money on Stake.us (for example, buying coin packages);
• You lost money playing — meaning you spent more than you were able to redeem or cash out;
• You played within the last two years;
• You reside in a state with a gambling loss-recovery or consumer-protection statute (eligibility is state-dependent).

Why Does It Matter?

Players who lost money on unlicensed online casino-style platforms may be able to recover those losses through arbitration or litigation. This investigation does not imply that Stake.us has been found to have violated any law. If you spent money on Stake.us, you can complete the free Claim Form to find out whether you may qualify.
