In a significant legal move, Jill Fitzer has filed a statewide class action lawsuit against Zynga, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The lawsuit alleges that Zynga’s online games constitute illegal gambling under both federal and Ohio state law. Fitzer, representing herself and other Ohio residents, seeks restitution for losses incurred through these games, claiming they violate the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and result in unjust enrichment for Zynga. The complaint highlights the social harms associated with such games and seeks to recover over $5 million in damages.
