If you are a U.S. resident who purchased a game from Big Fish Games, Inc. (Big Fish) between May 1, 2012 and December 31, 2014, you may be eligible for a payment from a class action settlement.
The settlement resolves a lawsuit alleging that Big Fish violated state consumer protection laws by misrepresenting the odds of winning virtual chips and other game features. Big Fish denies any wrongdoing and has agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the expense and risk of ongoing litigation.
Under the settlement, Big Fish will pay $155,000,000 to a Settlement Fund. Settlement Class Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form will receive a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund, after deduction of Court-approved attorneys’ fees and expenses, Settlement Administration costs, and any taxes that may be due on the Settlement Payments. The amount of your Settlement Payment will depend on the number of claims filed and the total amount of Big Fish’s net worth.
You are a Settlement Class Member if you purchased a game from Big Fish during the Class Period. The Class Period is from May 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014.
If you do not have proof of your purchases, Big Fish will provide a limited number of free game credits that can be redeemed for one free game play. These free game credits can only be redeemed for games that were purchased on or after May 1, 2012, have not been previously redeemed, and are
