One of several class action lawsuits against VGW, a market leader in the US sweepstakes sector has been dismissed for now.
The Georgia Northern District Court has dismissed the attempted class action lawsuit brought against VGW Holdings by Fair Gaming Advocates. Judge Thomas Thrash dismissed the lawsuit, stating that the court does not have standing to hear the case.
Fair Gaming tried to argue that because VGW accepts Georgia customers, and has two employees who reside in Georgia but work from home, the court was an appropriate venue for the case. Thrash disagreed, noting that the nature of the gaming website did not merit inclusion under the state’s long-arm statute.
