Huuuge Inc. has agreed to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming that two of its mobile casino games, Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino, violated state gambling laws by charging users for in-game currency used to continue gameplay.
According to the lawsuit, while the apps offer free in-game currency, players are eventually pressured to pay if they wish to keep playing. Plaintiffs argue this pay-to-play model mimics real gambling, violating laws in states like California and Illinois.
Huuuge did not admit wrongdoing but chose to settle the case. The agreement provides compensation in the form of virtual currency, rather than cash.
Under the Terms of the Settlement
Each class member will automatically receive at least 375 virtual diamonds for use in the Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino apps. Players may receive more virtual diamonds depending on their prior activity, although those with multiple accounts may be capped at a single 375-diamond benefit.
Beyond compensation, the settlement includes updates to the app interfaces and pricing mechanics. Huuuge agreed to eliminate countdown timers on sale items, offer base pricing on in-app purchases, notify users about free bonus availability, and improve access to support resources for problematic gaming behavior.
Players who continue to use the apps after the settlement may notice these changes as part of the company’s effort to comply with user protection standards.
No claim form is required. Eligible users will receive virtual diamonds directly through their game accounts, unless they opt out before the court-set deadline. The final approval hearing is scheduled for August 5, 2025.
