On Friday, a consumer filed a class-action complaint against Google, LLC and Google Payment Corp. in the Northern District of California for allegedly “profiting from illegal gambling games developed by DoubleU Games Co., Ltd. and offered, sold, and distributed by Google through its Google Play Store for consumers to download and play.” This lawsuit parallels a lawsuit against Google over Zynga’s gambling games.
The plaintiff averred that Google “offers, sells, and distributes casino-style slot machines, casino-style table games, and other common gambling games to consumers through Google Play,” which allegedly “constitutes illegal gambling pursuant to the law of various states.” According to the complaint, Android users pay money to either download apps or through in-app purchases, of which Google earns a 30 percent commission for facilitating the transaction.  Accordingly, Android users pay to play these gambling game apps via in-app purchases, thus Google earns a commission from people playing these games. The plaintiff asserted that Google and DoubleU are “responsible for the creation or development” of the apps, including DoubleU Casino, Take 5 Slots, Hello Vegas Slots, and DoubleU Bingo.
