Hacksaw AB Group CEO Addresses California Lawsuit
As expected, many sites are pulling out of California ahead of the ban. As for providers, Playtech withdrew its games from the state in September.
Also, remember that Hacksaw was listed in the lawsuit filed by the City Attorney of Los Angeles in August against Sweepstakes Ltd. (the owner of Stake.us), Playtech, Evolution, Red Tiger Gaming, and Pragmatic Play.
On the call, Källberg addressed this lawsuit.
“During the quarter, there was immediate coverage on a lawsuit filed by the City Attorney of Los Angeles against a large sweepstakes operator and its suppliers.” Källberg said. “No Hacksaw entity has been served with any complaint from a California court. Therefore, I do not think it would be appropriate to comment on a legal action when we do not have the particulars from a court.”
Other Sweepstakes Sites in CA
While many sites are already leaving California, Playtech, a provider, has pulled out; some have a different stance. WOW Vegas has announced that it'll stay in California until 2026, and interestingly, Hacksaw Gaming is listed as its "Provider of the Month."
As mentioned, Hacksaw will withdraw from California before Jan 1, 2026.
Another platform, Modo Casino, will remain in California but eliminate its sweeps play. This platform also uses Hacksaw Gaming for some of its games.
Whether or not Hacksaw will remain in California for platforms with models like Modo Casino remains unknown, but it could be an opportunity for them to generate revenue.
