Class Action Against Online Casino Denied Coverage After Interrelated Claims Exclusion Holds In Court

DoubleDown Casino is an online platform where players can gamble using digital chips. DoubleDown offers players one million free chips at signup.

Once players use their initial chips, DoubleDown charges $2.99 for an additional 300,000 chips.

Adrienne Benson began playing DoubleDown through Facebook in 2013. Since 2016, she allegedly lost more than $1,000. Then she found others in a similar situation.

Benson and her cohorts filed a putative class action suit against DoubleDown, alleging unjust enrichment, violations of the state’s gambling statue and violations of the state’s consumer protection act.

DoubleDown held two claims-made liability insurance policies from Navigators Specialty Insurance Company.
