California Sweepstakes Casino Targeted in Proposed Class-Action Lawsuit

An online sweepstakes website operating in California has been hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit.

Attorneys for plaintiff Dennis Boyle filed his proposed class-action lawsuit in Orange County Superior Court against Yellow Social Interactive, a Gibraltar-based gaming firm doing business in California as Pulsz.com. The online gaming platform bills itself as a free-to-play social casino.

Boyle’s lawyers say Pulsz.com is nothing more than an illegal online gambling outfit that needs to be immediately shut down to protect consumers.

Plaintiff brings this action under California’s Business & Professions Code seeking public injunctive relief to discontinue operation in California of the illegal gambling website, Pulsz.com. Defendant is an offshore criminal enterprise that owns and operates the website,” the complaint began.

Boyle is represented by Smith Krivoshey, a Boston-based firm specializing in class-action litigation. The law firm led a 2022 class-action lawsuit against Six Flags for the wrongful charging of membership fees during the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in an $83.6 million settlement.
