Overview
- Plaintiff Justin Killham filed a 34‑page proposed class action on October 27 in Jackson County Circuit Court naming Sweepsteaks Limited’s Stake.us, Aubrey “Drake” Graham, and Adin Ross.
- The suit alleges Stake.us is a virtual clone of Stake.com that bundles non‑redeemable Gold Coins with cash‑outable “Stake Cash,” creating what the filing calls a vehicle for real‑money wagering.
- The complaint claims Drake and Ross promoted the platform to large and young audiences and often gambled on livestreams with company‑provided funds presented as personal wagers.
- Stake says it has not been served, rejects the allegations, and vows to vigorously defend; Drake has not issued a substantive response, and Ross dismissed the case on stream as “bullsh*t.”
- The filing seeks class certification, restitution of losses, disgorgement, punitive damages, fees, and an injunction, as similar legal challenges and new state actions against dual‑currency sweepstakes models mount nationwide.
