Apple is being sued because someone spent a fortune on in-app purchases

What you need to know


Apple is being sued over someone's in-app purchase spending habits.
Someone wracked up more than $3,000 in purchases.
They believe that's Apple's fault and that it should pay up.


They say that in-app purchases of this kind are like gambling.

Apple is on the receiving end of another lawsuit relating to the App Store, this time filed n the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. This isn't a disgruntled developer or former employee, though. This time, it's someone who spent more than $3,000 on in-app purchases and wants Apple to foot the bill.

According to a AppleInsider report, Karen Workman downloaded the Jackpot Mania app and "began purchasing coins through the app so he/she could continue to play for a chance to win free coins that would enable him/her to enjoy the game(s) for a longer period of time."

While gambling apps are banned from the App Store, the suit claims that these in-app purchases are the same thing, according to the report.
