A sweepstakes casino lawsuit implicating Google and Apple has been withdrawn by the plaintiff. The plaintiff from New Jersey, Julian Bargo, went against the High 5 Casino, while including Google and Apple.
Now, the case has been completely canceled. According to reports, no reason has been given as to why. However, it did get dismissed just as the court was supposed to hear reasons for dismissal. Bargo claims that he lost over $1000 in bets.
Sweepstake casinos operate differently from regular online casinos, instead offering two currencies to play with. These are bought in bundles of “gold coins”, which then give “sweep coins”.
The “gold coins” bought can be used for no-risk gambling, while the “sweep coins” are used for prizes. Bargo’s lawsuit said that these sweepstake casinos are illegal.
