I played DoubleDown game and STILL as of yet, have not received my payment. What the heck is going on???!
I filed a claim for Bank of America extended overdraft fees years ago and have not received any payment. I have been a BOA customer since 2013. now the BOA extended overdraft fee class action suit is no longer on this site. I have received nothing, and no information is available. How do I find out the outcome of this lawsuit
I have purchase coins with my bankcard with Doubleucasino which aloows you to purchase coins for cash and not paying you in cash while playing .please investigate this gaming source supplied by facebook games as double down casino on facebook. I received $15,000 dollars from top class action lawsuits for double down casino and would like my money back from double ucasino and hotshots on facebook . They know these games are addictive. They give frre coins to start you playing and once you play it like at a real casino and you buy coins to keep playing.I have been playing these games since 2010 on fakebook and spent thousands of dollars. The government needs to stop facbook form asking you to purchase coins with real money and not paying you in real funds. I know I have an addiction to these games because I have anxiety and it calms me to play them. I have spent a lot of money and it’s not fair to spend real currency and get no cash back.
Would like to know why I did not qualify for this settlement? I played Doubledown for many years. Thank you
