Playstudios settles class action over virtual casino chips

Original: Social casino operator Playstudios resolves class action over virtual chips

Social casino games developer Playstudios has resolved a class action lawsuit concerning its sale of virtual chips, according to industry outlet CDC Gaming. The suit targeted the company's practice of selling in-game currency in free-to-play casino-style games, a model that has drawn repeated legal challenges across the social casino industry. Details of the settlement terms were not disclosed.

Why now: The settlement is notable because it touches on wider legal uncertainty around whether virtual chip sales in social casino games count as illegal gambling.
