A Florida man named Brandon Montgomery filed a class-action lawsuit against the Seminole Tribe and its Hard Rock Sportsbook betting app this past May, claiming that the operator’s “No Regret First Bet” promotion was misleading and in violation of Sunshine State consumer protection laws.
The promotion promised bettors who signed up for new accounts and placed a bet of up to $100 their money back for a second bet if the initial bet lost. But Montgomery feels “the Bonus Bet marketing and sign-up process misrepresents and omits several key facts about the service,” including that “a user cannot simply cash out a refund if they lose the bet, but instead must place another bet.”
