J. Payne grants the game app developer's motion to compel mandatory alternative dispute resolution. The creators of the popular app Candy Crush launched the Candy Crush All Stars 2023 Tournament, which allowed Candy Crush players worldwide to compete for a chance to win $250,000 in prizes and an expense-paid trip to London. A participant accuses the creators of omitting or actively misrepresenting certain information to participants, which caused them to overestimate their chances of success and spend more than they otherwise would have on in-app purchases to boost their competitiveness. The participant agreed multiple times to the developer's terms and conditions, which contain a clause on settling matters out of court.

J. Swain dismisses fraud claims against Wyndham Hotels stemming from alleged predatory tactics that induced elderly citizens to buy timeshare ownership interests. After buying the shares, the citizens found the properties unavailable on requested dates and were told they needed to pay more to upgrade their seniority. However, the claims against the hotel chain are subject to mandatory arbitration pursuant to the retail installment contract, so the complaint is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Haight denies the solar panel company's motion to stay proceedings and compel arbitration, ruling the testimony of the 80-year-old buyers and their children requires the enforceability of the arbitration provision in the contract to be determined by a jury. The buyers were never told about a loan, only that solar panels would be installed at their home, and they were also never given a written contract.

J. White grants the online education company's motion to compel arbitration of the user's claims alleging that she was enrolled in an automatic e-textbook renewal program without her knowledge or express consent. The online platform's terms of use include an arbitration agreement which is sufficiently conspicuous to give users constructive notice, and the user unambiguously assented to the agreement by creating an account, despite her assertion that she never clicked a "create an account" button to do so.
