Anyone who spent money on myVEGAS, Pop! Slots or another Playstudios game in one of six states is covered by a class settlement that pays in game coins unless the player files an election form by October 21. The choice is spelled out on the settlement website, which says players who do nothing “will receive the benefits in virtual currency” and give up the right to sue Playstudios over the claims in the case.

Six states, six sets of dates

The covered games are myVEGAS on Facebook and mobile, myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack and myVEGAS Bingo. Membership in the class depends on where the player spent money and when. The settlement site lists these windows:

• Alabama: March 8, 2022 to June 30, 2026
• Ohio: July 26, 2022 to June 30, 2026
• New Jersey: January 2, 2024 to June 30, 2026
• Massachusetts: July 26, 2022 to June 30, 2026
• Tennessee: November 12, 2022 to June 30, 2026
• Kentucky: July 5, 2018 to June 29, 2023

The case is pending in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, No. 33-CV-2025-900186.00, and the court’s final approval hearing is November 10, 2026.

Coins by default, cash only on request

The settlement FAQ sets out the two paths. A player who files nothing gets 27 percent of net spend in the game’s virtual currency, delivered as coins in installments over two years. A player who files an election form can ask for 23 percent of net spend as money instead, or take virtual currency, or both, according to the site. Net spend means what the player spent, less platform fees, administrative expenses, the attorneys’ fee award and incentive payments.

The people affected, then, are every player who spent money in those states during those windows, and what each has to decide before October 21 is whether to stay with the coins or file for the cash option, knowing the cash is limited.

Cash goes only to players whose election form is in by October 21, and a form for the wrong state or the wrong dates leaves the coins as the only payout. The Settlement & Refund Recovery System gives a step-by-step filing walkthrough and a claim log and payment tracker, so the form, the spend dates and the filing date are all on one page.

The cap on the cash

The cash option has a ceiling. Total money elections are subject to “an aggregate cap of seventeen percent (17%) of Total Settlement Amount,” the FAQ says, and if the cap cuts a player’s cash, the reduced amount is paid in virtual currency. The FAQ does not state the Total Settlement Amount, so the size of the cap in dollars is unknown, and no per-player amount has been announced.

Filing the form asks for cash, and the cap decides how much of that request can be met. Elected payments are expected within 60 days after final approval and any appeals are finished, and checks become void 90 days after they are issued.

Three deadlines share one date

October 21 is also the last day to opt out and the last day to object. Opting out means no benefit at all in exchange for keeping the right to sue Playstudios. The FAQ says an opt-out letter can be emailed to [email protected] or mailed to Playstudios Settlement Administrator, PO Box 1548, Baton Rouge, LA 70821. Objections have to be filed with the court and sent to lawyers for both sides. An election form is a different step from both.

Filing the election form by October 21

The form goes to the settlement administrator. The online version is on the settlement website at GamingAppSettlement.pnclassaction.com, which the settlement site links, and the FAQ says a paper form can be requested. Questions about eligibility go to the settlement administrator at 1-844-586-2442.

Before opening the form, a player can pull together the game and the state where the money was spent, plus the Game ID, which the site helps look up through its “Find My Game ID” tool. Purchases in a state outside its window do not count, so Kentucky purchases from 2024, for example, fall outside that state’s dates. The site also has an “Update My Contact/Payment Information” page for anyone whose details have changed.

A player who prefers coins does not need to file anything, and the choice of both payment and coins is available on the same form.

One October 21 election form, many other open settlements

A missed election date turns a cash request into coins, and the same thing happens on every open settlement that carries its own date. MoneyPilot lists open class-action settlements and shows which ones may match a consumer, then files claim forms and tracks deadlines and payout status. It is a paid subscription service.
