A: The operation of online gambling sites is heavily regulated. If a platform offers the ability to deposit funds, play games, and then withdraw cash without participating in what legally qualifies as a "sweepstakes" or "prize" system, it might indeed be violating state laws. Additionally, offering cash-out options in a supposed "social casino" format may also run afoul of these regulations.

Your documentation and evidence of unauthorized transactions and the site's failure to close your account upon request could be crucial in a legal challenge. However, before proceeding with a class action lawsuit, it's important to validate the strength of your evidence and understand the specific legal framework governing these platforms. Gathering more affected individuals can also strengthen the case.

To pursue this matter effectively, consulting with an attorney experienced in class action lawsuits or consumer protection law would be advisable. They can provide detailed guidance on how to proceed and what additional information might be required to build a strong case. Additionally, they can assist in determining the viability of a class action suit based on the evidence and the number of potential claimants.
