Benicia, CA asked in Gaming for California

Q: Can I sue an app that I have used money on and have gotten nothing in return even though “I’ve won”

I have played 2 separate apps where I have spent money and have not received anything. I have emailed constantly and gotten no response. But I have picture proof I have paid for shipping on one prize that I never got still showing as processing after like 6 months and the other I “won” $100 and paid to get more tokens to reach $100 and after about 4-5 months have not received anything. Please help.

A: Does the word "SCAM" mean anything to you? In order to sue them you have to find them, in this reality, not in the virtual world. You have to haul them into court in the real world. Once you do that, sue them. Meanwhile, stop gambling with real world money on the internet. Oh, BTW- you are the "prize" because you are how they make money. If there has been fraud, take it to the police.
