Amazon has agreed to a proposed $201 million settlement in a U.S. class-action lawsuit alleging it facilitated illegal gambling transactions through social casino applications available on its Amazon Appstore.
The proposed settlement, subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, aims to resolve all claims against Amazon while providing consumers with compensation. The lawsuit accused Amazon of enabling the purchase of virtual casino chips with real money, violating Washington state gambling laws.
If approved, the settlement will bring an end to the legal battle that began in 2020, highlighting the importance of compliance with gambling regulations in the digital space.
