A US federal judge has ruled that claims against online casino Stake in a lawsuit involving Drake must be handled through individual, confidential arbitration rather than a class action. The decision does not determine whether the allegations are true, but it limits the case’s public court proceedings and pauses claims against Drake while arbitration takes place.

Stake users had accused the company and Drake of misleading advertising, alleging that he promoted an illegal gambling operation and used Stake’s payment system to finance bot-driven music streams. Stake denies the allegations; Drake has not commented, and the company has previously relied on its terms of service to move similar cases into arbitration.
