Sneako sues Duel casino in Florida federal court over AI-generated gambling videos

What the complaint alleges

According to the first page of the complaint, published by his lawyers, Duel or people acting at its direction "manufactured and disseminated realistic AI-generated videos" that falsely showed Sneako gambling on Duel, celebrating gambling winnings, praying over a blackjack table and "expressly endorsing Duel as a purported 'Halal casino.'"

The complaint says he "never authorized these advertisements," never consented to the commercial use of his likeness for Duel and never made the endorsements attributed to him. Counsel from Muslim Legal and attorney Anthony Sabatini described the case as one over "deception, defamation, and exploitation." The copy that was published shows no case number.

Duel's earlier response

The prayer-rug video circulated in mid-September. Duel then said in a statement, as reported by the Times of India, that the "tone-deaf edit" had been "executed end to end by our content team" and that the employee responsible had been fired.

Who runs Duel

Duel's terms of service name Immortal Snail LLC, a company registered in Nevis, as its operator. The site holds a licence from Anjouan, in the Comoros, that excludes the United States. Immortal Snail also faces a separate federal case brought by X Corp. in the Northern District of Texas (No. 4:26-cv-01254, filed September 28, 2026), in which X alleges that Duel's founder and his associates compromised X accounts and bribed X employees to reinstate suspended accounts used to promote the casino.

None of the allegations in either case have been tested in court.
