Which Dapper Labs Settlement Is Paying You
This page covers only the money. For the cases themselves, see our Dapper Labs lawsuit overview.
The Dapper Labs settlement payout you are looking for depends on which case your claim was in:
1. $5 million privacy (VPPA) settlement — Ohebshalom v. Dapper Labs, Inc., Index No. 615987/2025, New York Supreme Court, Nassau County. For anyone with an active account on NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, Disney Pinnacle, UFC Strike or LaLiga Golazos from June 15, 2020 through January 30, 2025, who filed a claim by April 15, 2026. This is the one most people mean.
2. NBA Top Shot video privacy settlement — Fan v. NBA Properties, Inc., No. 3:23-cv-05069-SI, against NBA Properties and Dapper Labs. For people who had both a Facebook account and an NBA Top Shot account in the same period and claimed by December 16, 2025.
3. $4 million NBA Top Shot Moments securities settlement — Friel v. Dapper Labs, Inc., No. 1:21-cv-05837-VM, Southern District of New York. For people who bought or acquired Moments from June 15, 2020 to December 27, 2021 and claimed by August 30, 2024.
Case Details
The privacy settlement is in a state court: the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, before Justice Lisa A. Cairo. Its administrator runs DapperVPPAClassActionSettlement.com, toll-free 1-888-887-2497, mail to Dapper VPPA Class Action Settlement, P.O. Box 4380, Portland, OR 97208-4380.
Fan v. NBA Properties is a federal case; its settlement site, NBATopShotVideoPrivacyClassActionSettlement.com, is run by Epiq.
Friel is administered by Strategic Claims Services: FrielvDapperLabsSettlement.com, (833) 279-8069, info@strategicclaims.net, P.O. Box 230, Media, PA 19063.
Status: Two Payouts Reported, One Unconfirmed
Privacy (VPPA) settlement: the official site’s status line, as indexed by search engines, reads: “The settlement payments were distributed to eligible claimants on July 1, 2026.” That is the Dapper Labs settlement payout date most searchers want. The site blocks automated access, so we could not archive the page ourselves, and we found no published final-approval order — treat the date as the administrator’s statement.
Fan v. NBA Properties: final approval was granted December 19, 2025. The official site states that payments went to class members with timely, valid claims on March 19, 2026.
Friel securities settlement: the fairness hearing was moved to October 25, 2024. As of October 2026, the official site still shows the 2024 notice and lists no distribution order or payment date. If you filed a Friel claim, ask Strategic Claims Services directly.
No second round, residual distribution or cy pres date has been published for any of the three.
Who Gets Paid Automatically and Who Had to File
Nobody is paid automatically. In all three settlements, only people who filed a valid claim before the deadline get money. The privacy notice is explicit: “The only way to receive a Cash Payment is to submit a Claim Form.”
Deadlines, all passed: Friel August 30, 2024; Fan December 16, 2025; privacy (VPPA) April 15, 2026. If you did not file, you are still bound by the release but will not receive a payment.
Is it too late to join a class action lawsuit? For these three, yes. Once a claim deadline passes you cannot be added. For settlements still taking claims, see our list of open class action settlements.
Dapper Labs Settlement Amount and Payout Per Person
Privacy (VPPA): the Dapper Labs settlement amount is a $5,000,000 gross fund, which also pays fees, notice and administration. The Dapper Labs settlement payout per person is “up to $5” — a cap, not a promise. Payment was by Zelle, PayPal or Venmo, whichever you chose on the claim form, and was due 45 days after final approval and any appeals.
Fan v. NBA Properties: equal (pro rata) shares. Before claims closed, class counsel estimated roughly $36–122 per claimant. The site lists a $7,050,000 fund. The final figure depends on how many valid claims came in.
Friel: a $4,000,000 fund. Payments depend on how many Moments you bought, when, and at what price. The notice estimated an average of $0.12 per Moment across about 33,037,779 Moments before fees, or $0.08 after fees. That is an average for the whole class, not your figure.

Three Things to Watch For
Searches for “Dapper Labs unclaimed settlement payment” are exactly what imposters target:
“Unclaimed Dapper Labs payment” sites
Every claim deadline has passed, and no unclaimed-funds program has been announced. A page offering to “recover” your share for a fee, or asking for your Social Security number, is not connected to any of these settlements.
Zelle, PayPal or Venmo “verification” requests
The privacy settlement paid through the method you picked on your claim form. A message asking you to send a small amount to “unlock” a payment, or to log in through a link, is a scam. Check by calling 1-888-887-2497, not a number in the message.
Requests to connect your Dapper wallet
None of the official notices asks for a wallet connection, a seed phrase or NFTs. Real messages come from DapperVPPAClassActionSettlement.com, NBATopShotVideoPrivacyClassActionSettlement.com, or for Friel, FrielvDapperLabsSettlement.com and strategicclaims.net.

Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
