myVEGAS Class Action Lawsuit: Coins by Default, Cash Only If You Elect by October 21, 2026
Settlement — Claims Process
The myVEGAS class action lawsuit in the news is White v. Playstudios US, LLC, a settlement in an Alabama state court covering people who spent money on myVEGAS and seven related Playstudios games while in Alabama, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee or Kentucky. Do nothing and you get game coins worth 27% of your net spending. To get cash instead — 23%, and possibly less — you must file an election form by October 21, 2026. Final approval is set for November 10, 2026.

What the Lawsuit Says
The lawsuit claims that Playstudios violated the gambling laws of six states through the sale of virtual chips in its social casino games: myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, www.myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack and myVEGAS Bingo.
The legal theory is old: state gambling loss recovery statutes that let money lost on illegal gambling be sued back. The earlier suits it settles relied on exactly that — the Alabama case sought to recover sums paid by Alabama residents under Alabama’s loss recovery act, and the Kentucky case sought treble the sums paid by Kentucky residents.
Playstudios denies all claims and denies that it violated any law. It agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continuing the case. No court has ruled that the games are gambling.
Case details
White, et al. v. Playstudios US, LLC, Case No. 33-CV-2025-900186.00, Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, before Judge Brian P. Hamilton. The complaint was filed November 20, 2025. The settlement also wraps up earlier matters listed in the settlement agreement: Pilati v. Playstudios US, LLC (Franklin County, 33-CV-2023-900032), Tipmore v. Playstudios US, LLC (U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, 4:24-CV-00085), Duckworth v. Playstudios US LLC (Tennessee, 2023-CV-49183) and three individual arbitrations.

Status: Settlement Pending Final Approval, Election Window Closing
Deadlines, all October 21, 2026: election form (cash instead of coins), request for exclusion, and objection. An election counts if it is postmarked or submitted on the settlement website by that date. After October 21, 2026, the only remaining outcome for class members who did not elect is coins.
Our news report covers the payout math in more detail: myVEGAS settlement: 27% in coins or 23% cash.
Separately, an investor case — Felipe v. PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc., over statements about the company’s business around its 2021 listing — ended with a $6.5 million settlement that received final approval on December 7, 2025. That one was for shareholders, not players, and is closed.
Who Is in the Settlement Class
You are a class member if you spent money to play any of the covered games while in one of these states during these periods:
Alabama: March 8, 2022 – June 30, 2026
Ohio: July 26, 2022 – June 30, 2026
New Jersey: January 2, 2024 – June 30, 2026
Massachusetts: July 26, 2022 – June 30, 2026
Tennessee: November 12, 2022 – June 30, 2026
Kentucky: July 5, 2018 – June 29, 2023
Players who only used free coins are not in the class. Location is determined from billing address, IP address or other information Playstudios holds — you do not need to prove it yourself. Players in other states, including Washington, are not covered by this settlement. Unsure? Call the administrator at 1-844-586-2442; court-appointed class counsel answer free at 1-800-667-6759.
What It Pays — and Why Coins Are the Default
Do nothing: 27% of that net spending, as virtual coins in the game, paid in installments over up to 24 months after the settlement becomes final.
File an election: 23% as a check or electronic payment, within 60 days after final approval and any appeals. All cash elections together are capped at 17% of the Total Settlement Amount; if the cap is hit, your cash is cut and the shortfall is paid in coins instead. Checks are void 90 days after they are issued.
The catch for inactive players: if your account is inactive when coins are due, Playstudios waits 30 days; if it stays inactive, the coins are deemed distributed — you get nothing usable. If you have stopped playing, the election form is the only route to money.

Three Things to Watch For
A settlement that pays cash only to people who fill out a form invites look-alikes:
Election forms on other websites
The only official site is GamingAppSettlement.com, run for the court by EisnerAmper. The election portal it links to sits on pnclassaction.com. A page elsewhere asking for your myVEGAS login, card number or a fee is not the settlement.
“Coins will be lost unless you pay”
Default coins are credited in-game by Playstudios with no claim and no charge. Nobody legitimate sells coin “recovery” or asks you to buy chips to unlock your share.
Messages promising a fixed payout
There is no flat amount — your share is a percentage of your own net spending, and cash may be cut by the 17% cap. A message quoting a guaranteed dollar figure is guessing or fishing.
myVEGAS Lawsuit — Questions People Actually Ask
Short answers to the questions people ask most about this case.
What is the myVEGAS class action lawsuit about?
It claims that selling virtual chips in myVEGAS and related Playstudios social casino games violated the gambling laws of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Playstudios denies it and settled without admitting wrongdoing.
How much is the myVEGAS settlement payout per person?
It depends on what you spent. Do nothing and you get coins worth 27% of your net spending in the covered states and periods. Elect cash by October 21, 2026 and you get 23%, subject to a 17% cap on all cash elections combined. Platform fees, administrative costs, attorneys’ fees and incentive awards come off first.
Do I have to file anything?
No — coins arrive automatically. You only file an election form if you want cash. The form must be postmarked or submitted online at GamingAppSettlement.com by October 21, 2026.
When will I get paid?
Not before final approval; the hearing is November 10, 2026. Cash goes out within 60 days after final approval and any appeals. Coins are paid in installments over up to 24 months.
I stopped playing. What happens to my coins?
Under the settlement agreement, if your account is inactive when coins are distributed, Playstudios waits 30 days; if it stays inactive, the coins are deemed distributed. For lapsed players, electing cash is the way to receive something usable.
I played in another state. Am I covered?
No. The class covers only spending in Alabama, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Kentucky during the listed periods. Kentucky’s period ended June 29, 2023; the others run to June 30, 2026.
Can I get my money back from an online casino?
This settlement only returns a share of what was spent on Playstudios’ covered games in six states. Other social casino developers have faced their own suits under state gambling loss recovery statutes since 2020 — Big Fish Games, for example, settled a Washington case for $155.0 million. Check whether a settlement exists for your specific app on our open settlements list.
What is the MGM class action lawsuit — is it this one?
Only in part. MGM Slots Live is one of the covered games, so its players in the six states are in this class. But the defendant here is Playstudios US, LLC alone; this case does not resolve claims against MGM itself.
