Social media addiction refers to the compulsive use of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or X despite negative consequences. 

Tech companies rely on advertising revenue, and that means keeping users on their platforms as long as possible. To achieve this, they implement behavioral psychology models to manipulate user behavior.

Big gaming companies have designed their products to be incredibly addictive, especially for young boys and girls.

Dangers of Online Sports Betting Apps

Online sports betting apps have exploded in popularity—along with hidden risks. Many users, including minors, were exposed to predatory designs, deceptive “risk-free” offers, and addictive gameplay mechanics that caused substantial financial losses. Our law firm is actively investigating claims on behalf of individuals harmed by these platforms.

You may have a claim if:

  • Your child used an online sports betting app and is still under 18 years old.

  • You lost money through an online sports betting app while you were under 18 years old at the time.

  • You used the online sports betting app while over 18 and under 30 years old and suffered a diagnosed injury* or lost $10K/more as a result.

  • You used the online sports betting app while 30 years old or older and lost $50K/more or suffered a diagnosed injury* as a result.

Social Media  •  Video Games  •  Sports Betting Apps

Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have faced allegations that their platforms are intentionally designed to be addictive, especially for children and teenagers. Excessive use of these services may be linked to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation.
The deadline to take legal action on social media–related claims is limited and varies by state. Waiting too long could cost you your right to seek justice, so acting immediately is critical to protect your rights. Financial recovery from a social media lawsuit can give families the support they need to help their child heal and move toward lasting stability and a better future.

You may qualify to file a social media addiction lawsuit if you or your child:
• Developed an addiction to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok.
• Experienced physical or emotional harm linked to that addiction.
• Were under 18 years old at the time the addiction began.

There is a strong body of scientific evidence supporting legal claims that gaming companies have created gaming addiction through such tactics as:

• Hiring Ph.D. behavioral psychologists and neuroscientists to develop their games
• Using predatory monetization strategies
• Collecting data to promote personalized content
• Using feedback loops to give users a reason to continue playing

Video Game Addiction Claims

Symptoms of video game addiction include:

• Gaming interfering with daily tasks
Gaming addiction involves playing games for long periods of time every day or most days. Some devote so much time to gaming that they overlook other daily tasks, like eating and bathing.


• 
Loss of interest in other activities
Gaming addiction may take over someone’s life to the point that they no longer participate in activities they once enjoyed. For example, a gamer might stop playing sports or working out when they develop a gaming addiction.

• Withdrawing from social life

Gaming is often a solitary activity. A person experiencing gaming addiction may thus withdraw from their social life to devote more time to gaming. Relationships gamers make in the game may become more important than those in real life

• Emotional and psychological changes
Gaming addiction may cause a person to be agitated or unfocused when they can’t game. When someone asks them to stop playing, they may become defensive or angry.

Our gaming addiction attorneys are leading the fight against the multi-billion dollar video game industry and are representing clients whose children have become addicts.
