Companies generally prefer to arbitrate claims because the process is cheaper and faster than litigation in court, which can be harder to fight and carries a greater risk of hefty damages awards. Upon creating their Coinbase accounts, users agreed to resolve any disputes with Coinbase in arbitration. But a subsequent agreement that related specifically to the sweepstakes said disputes over the contest should be heard in court in California.
