What the Fubo Lawsuit Claimed
The fubotv lawsuit alleged that Fubo shared subscribers’ personally identifiable information, including what they watched, with third-party advertisers through the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics without consent. That is how Fubo’s own SEC filing describes the claims.
The legal hook was the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. § 2710), a law originally written for video-rental records. The settlement also covers claims under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (Penal Code § 630) and California Civil Code § 1799.3.
Fubo denied wrongdoing. The settlement is not an admission, and no court decided who was right.
Case Details
The case is Burdette, et al. v. fuboTV, Inc., et al., Case No. 2024LA001460, in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois (Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, Wheaton). A secondary source names Judge Maureen Riordan. The defendants are fuboTV, Inc. and fuboTV Media, Inc.
The case started in August 2023. It ran in federal court as Burdette v. fuboTV, Inc., No. 1:23-cv-10351 (N.D. Ill.), was voluntarily dismissed, and was refiled in DuPage County. The settlement also resolved two related federal suits: Perez v. fuboTV, No. 0:23-cv-61961 (S.D. Fla.), and Beasley v. fuboTV, No. 1:24-cv-00711 (S.D.N.Y.). Both were voluntarily dismissed in 2025.
Status: Approved, Payments Reported Going Out
ClaimDepot reports that Kroll began sending payments on September 25, 2026. We could not confirm that date on the official site, which blocks automated access. If you filed a claim and have heard nothing, call Kroll at (833) 890-8291 or visit VPPADataPrivacyFuboSettlement.com.
Who Gets Paid
The class covered anyone who, on or before May 29, 2025, had a Fubo account or used someone else’s Fubo account while living in the United States or its territories. Household members on a shared login counted too.
Being in the class is not enough to get paid. Only people who filed a claim form by September 12, 2025 get money. That deadline has passed, and there is no late-claim process in the notice.
The opt-out and objection deadline was August 28, 2025. If you did nothing, you are bound by the release and you receive nothing.
How Much the Fubo Settlement Pays
Claimants who certified they watched Fubo while in California get 1.1 times the standard share. ClaimDepot reports payments of up to $6.51. OpenClassActions reports, based on claimant reports, $5.91 standard and $6.51 with the California certification. Neither figure is posted by the administrator, so treat them as reports. A few dollars per person is typical for privacy settlements with a large class.
How you are paid: the settlement agreement provides for checks or electronic payment. According to ClaimDepot, electronic payment was only offered to people who filed online. Paper checks went to the mailing address on the claim.
Cash the check within 150 days. Under the agreement, checks are valid for 150 days from the issuance date and then become void. If a check is lost or voided, you have until 240 days after issuance to ask Kroll to reissue it. After 360 days, uncashed checks are stopped and the money is forfeited. Leftover money may go to a second distribution, but only to people who cashed their check or took electronic payment. Otherwise it goes to charity (cy pres).

Three Things to Watch For
A payout this small still attracts fakes, because millions of people had Fubo accounts:
“Late claim” or “reopened” Fubo forms
The claim deadline was September 12, 2025, and the notice provides no late filing. A site that takes new fubo settlement claims now, or asks for your Fubo login, is not the settlement.
Fees to release your payment
Kroll does not charge a fee to send or reissue a payment. Anyone asking for a card number or a processing fee to unlock a $6 payment is running a scam.
Look-alike payment emails
Real messages point to VPPADataPrivacyFuboSettlement.com and the toll-free number (833) 890-8291. If an email links elsewhere, do not click. Go to the official site yourself and check from there.
Fubo Settlement — Questions People Actually Ask
Is the fubo settlement real?
Yes. It is a $3.4 million court-approved settlement in Burdette v. fuboTV, Case No. 2024LA001460, in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois. Kroll Settlement Administration runs it, and the official website is VPPADataPrivacyFuboSettlement.com.
Where is my Fubo settlement money?
ClaimDepot reports that payments began on September 25, 2026. If you filed an approved claim by September 12, 2025 and have not received anything, check the email inbox you used for the claim and your mailbox. Then call Kroll at (833) 890-8291 or write to info@VPPADataPrivacyFuboSettlement.com.
How much is the Fubo payment?
Reports put it at $5.91 for a standard claim and $6.51 with the California certification, which pays 1.1 times the standard share. The administrator has not published the figures. The amount is what is left of the $3.4 million after fees and costs, divided by the number of approved claims.
How long do I have to cash the check?
150 days from the issuance date, according to the settlement agreement. After that the check is void. You can ask Kroll to reissue a lost or voided check until 240 days after issuance.
I never filed a claim. Can I still get paid?
No. Filing a claim by September 12, 2025 was the only way to get a payment, and there is no late-claim process. If you were in the class and did not opt out by August 28, 2025, you are still bound by the release.
What was the fubo lawsuit about?
It alleged that Fubo shared subscribers’ identities and viewing activity with advertisers through the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics without consent, in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act and California privacy laws. Fubo denied the allegations.
Why is the payment so small?
The $3.4 million fund first pays administration costs, attorneys’ fees (requested up to $1,360,000) and service awards. The rest is split among everyone who filed. Privacy settlements with large customer classes often pay single-digit dollar amounts.
Was this the same as the Disney or YouTube TV settlements?
No. This fubotv settlement covers only Fubo accounts and the VPPA claims in Burdette v. fuboTV. Other streaming-service cases have their own claims, deadlines and administrators. See our open class action settlements list for ones still taking claims.
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.
