Prodege LLC
Prodege LLC, the owners of Swagbucks.com promoted a series of illegal Chinese casinos and described one as a “strategy game” with no mention of its actual function. I lost over $10000. I had my cards charged multiple times, I had my account wiped of the money deposited, and I had personal information such as my social security number and ID stolen These casinos (such as jackpot heist, guess spin arena, lucky duel, etc) claim to be owned and developers by different companies, although all are identical to each other and process payments under the same names. None of these companies exist or are registered anywhere. Obviously they aren’t licensed as casinos either. I tried to provide evidence to Swagbucks months ago, and got no response. I then sent a legal dispute through the mail on march 28th, which was ignored After leaving multiple messages, they’re lawyer, Mr David Doyle, left me a message claiming that they weren’t responsible and I should sue the developers instead When I tried to explain that these companies aren’t real and offered to provide evidence I was ignored again. When I tried this to offer more evidence that these apps are connected and operated illegally I was continuously ignored I tried contacting the number they had listed with the PA gaming control board and was met with an ex employee of Prodege who was confused as to why her number was listed as the contact. She left a message with protege and sent an email. Again no response. As of yesterday, some of the apps have been wiped from the App Store leaving no trace. I don’t know if the devs removed the apps, Apple did, or my reports to IC3 and the FBI led to these apps getting shut down. Either way I provided pages of evidence to Swagbucks and they continued to promote the apps. In one case, I even mentioned a connected app that they weren’t currently promoting, and they initiated a new campaign for the app weeks later.
