How to claim the High 5 Casino settlement before Jan 4, 2027

High 5 Games agreed to pay at least $12 million and up to $30 million to resolve claims that selling virtual coins in its High 5 Casino and High 5 Vegas apps violated Washington gambling law. The money is paid in over several years: $4 million up front, then at least $1 million a year for up to eight years, plus possible extra payments tied to the company's income. The defendants deny the claims.

The case is Larsen v. PTT, LLC (d/b/a High 5 Games, LLC) and High 5 Entertainment, LLC (No. 3:18-cv-05275) in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington.

A court-appointed administrator runs the claim process and sends the payments. SettleClub is not affiliated with the administrator or with High 5 Casino.

People in Washington state who played or bought virtual coins in High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas after April 9, 2014 and before October 1, 2022. Only people who bought coins can claim a payment.

The class period is Apr 9, 2014 to Oct 1, 2022. If your purchase, account or visit falls outside those dates, you are not part of this settlement even if everything else fits.

Payments are share of fund based on what you spent from a fund of $12,000,000 to $30,000,000.

The settlement fund is split among everyone who files a valid claim, after attorneys' fees, administration costs and any service awards approved by the court, so the final amount depends on how many people file.

The official site lists no receipt requirement; you submit a claim form. Your share depends on how much you spent on in-app purchases in the period, how many people file, and how much the defendants end up paying in. Payments may arrive in more than one round.

You sign the claim form under penalty of perjury, so only file if you genuinely fit the class definition above. That is the whole requirement.

Submit the claim form online or mail it postmarked by January 4, 2027, which is also the exclusion and objection deadline. If you got an email notice, it has a direct link to the form. The final approval hearing is February 8, 2027.

The deadline is Jan 4, 2027. Filing takes a few minutes online. Keep the confirmation number the administrator gives you; it is the only proof you filed.

The court holds its final approval hearing on Feb 8, 2027. Payments go out after the judge approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved, which typically takes a few months.
