v. WOW Vegas
Dear
{{client_name}}
This is an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and
Bryson Harris Suciu & DeMay PLLC (“Firm”) for legal representation
regarding your claim(s) against MW Services Limited,
WowCom Services, Inc., and/or Wow Services Limited,
or any of their affiliates or subsidiary companies (collectively, “WOW Vegas”)
arising from the marketing and operation of its thousands of
online casino games including — Wild WOW Vegas, Coins of WOW Vegas, WOW Vegas Delights,
WOW Vegas Reels, and others (collectively, “WOW Vegas Casinos”).
WOW Vegas operates and profits from gambling-style games
while presenting them as harmless, “social” entertainment.
WOW Vegas’ representations are affirmatively deceptive, unfair,
and constitute false advertising.
Through calculated and misleading marketing practices,
WOW Vegas induces consumers to believe they are engaging in low-risk,
recreational gameplay when, in reality, the platform is intentionally designed
to function as a gambling enterprise that derives substantial profit
from players' real-money losses.
As a direct result of this misconduct,
WOW Vegas has been unjustly enriched at the expense of its consumers.
You understand and authorize the Firm to proceed with filing your claim(s) as an individual arbitration.
Arbitration is a simplified means of pursuing legal claims,
where the claim is decided by an arbitrator rather than a judge or jury.
You authorize the Firm to settle your individual claim(s) with WOW Vegas for a reasonable amount
and execute a release of your individual claim(s) on your behalf.
However, this agreement also authorizes the Firm to settle and release your claim(s)
as a part of a class action if WOW Vegas chooses to do so.
In the event that the Firm enters a settlement with your authority,
and you choose not to participate in the settlement,
you may reject the settlement and the Firm may withdraw its representation of you.
You further authorize the Firm to represent additional individuals
who have claims that are the same or similar to yours against WOW Vegas.
The Firm will handle this matter with a contingent fee
of the greater of either (a) forty percent (40%) of the gross recovery,
as allowed by state law; or (b) the total attorneys’ fees agreed to be paid by WOW Vegas
in any settlement or awarded by the arbitrator or court.
The Firm reserves the right to associate with co-counsel,
but the fee will be split between the Firm and any additional firm(s) they associate with.
The Firm will advance all costs incurred by the Firm
during this litigation (e.g., filing fees, travel, etc.).
The Firm will be reimbursed for these costs if, and only if,
they ultimately obtain a recovery on your behalf.
Advanced costs are deducted after the calculation of the contingent fee.
The Firm will keep you informed about the progress of your claim as it moves forward. We will do so via phone
calls, emails, and SMS messages. By signing this retainer agreement, you consent to the Firm calling and sending
case-related SMS messages to the cell phone number you provided when signing up for representation. If at any time
you no longer wish to receive phone calls from the Firm, you can email us at
arbitration.clientcare@brysonpllc.com.
Similarly, if you no longer wish to receive SMS messages from the Firm,
you can reply “STOP” to any SMS message to opt out of receiving additional messages.
You authorize the Firm to withdraw from representation
if they determine for sufficient reasons that your claim(s) should not continue.
Regardless, the Firm will maintain the file on this matter for at least six years.
If requested, these will be returned to you after the conclusion of the representation.
Finally, the Firm does not make any promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of your claim(s).
If you have any questions about the foregoing, please advise.
We would appreciate your returning a signed copy of this engagement letter to us for our files.

I further certify that I have not retained any other law firm(s)
to pursue my claim(s) against WOW Vegas and that I will not retain any other law firm(s) to do so.

* Please note that the company against which you are retaining the Firm to pursue individual arbitration claims
on your behalf may require submission of a notice letter personally signed by you to begin the dispute resolution
process. So that the Firm can start this process, by signing the retainer agreement, it is your intent to
provide the Firm with your electronic signature and your consent to include your electronic signature in the notice
letter to be sent on your behalf to the company identified in the retainer agreement as the party against whom the
Firm has agreed to represent you in connection with your individual arbitration. This is the sole limited
purpose for which you are giving the Firm legal authority to utilize your electronic signature.
