Big Fish Casino has agreed to resolve two class action lawsuits against it with a $155 million settlement deal. The settlement will provide cash payments of varying sizes depending on the amount spent on in-app purchases.
The settlement benefits individuals who played Big Fish Casino, Jackpot Magic Slots or Epic Diamond Slots on or before Aug. 31, 2020.
Plaintiffs in the Big Fish Casino class action lawsuits claimed the online game platform counts as illegal gambling due to the nature of the games. Through in-app purchases, users allegedly wager real money on these games.
According to the plaintiffs, these games therefore violate Washington gambling laws.
“Defendants’ online gambling games are illegal gambling games because they are online games at which players wager things of value (the chips) and by an element of chance (e.g., by spinning an online slot machine) are able to obtain additional entertainment and extend gameplay (by winning additional chips),” the Big Fish Casino class action lawsuit argued.
One plaintiff, Manasa Thimmegowda, said she started playing Big Fish Casino games in November 2017. Since then, she allegedly has lost more than $3,000 through in-app purchases.
Thimmegowda’s experience is allegedly not unique.
She argued that Big Fish Casino has taken advantage of thousands of consumers through the same illegal gambling scheme. In fact, in 2017, free-to-play “gambling” games allegedly generated more than $3.8 billion in profits for the operator.
The plaintiff said these profits are mostly gained through in-app purchases.
“By operating Big Fish Casino and other similar online gambling games, Defendants have violated Washington law and illegally profited from tens of thousands of consumers,” Thimmegowda argued in her Big Fish Casino class action lawsuit.
Big Fish Casino has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to resolve the claims against them in a $155 million settlement. The deal ensures plaintiffs and Class Members can recover compensation while also avoiding the costs and risks of a trial for all involved parties.
The settlement deal provides cash payments depending on the amount spent on Big Fish Casino games. Settlements may vary from $7.50 to $100,000, depending on how much each Class Member spent and the number of claims filed with the settlement administrator.
The settlement website features an estimated recovery tool to give Class Members an idea of how much they may receive.
In order to benefit from the Big Fish Casino class action settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim from by Jan. 4, 2021. No proof of purchase is required to benefit from the settlement, but Class Members may be asked to provide information about their Big Fish Casino account (friend codes, email addresses, etc.).
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 4, 2021. The final approval hearing for the Big Fish Casino settlement is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2021.

I’m so sad!
Me too, honestly, I’m devastated.
Especially when that’s not what’s conveyed on the plan of Allocation for the supplemental payment amounts. Very frustrating
Well we did get more than what they had stated in the 1st round. So I expect this one to be less. I got like 3k more in 1st payment then what I should have gotten and I know alot that got more than they should have. So you can’t expect them to give the same for the 2nd payment if the 1st was more than they had planned. I’m just happy to get any back, but they need to hurry and get ours, those that’s using banks/CU, ours already. No update or anything is some bullshit. No way EVERY bank/CU is rejecting or denying these deposits.
Trust me nothing was rejected or failed I called my bank and the girl said nothing came through yesterday nothing was coming through today and she said she can even see possibly some stuff for tomorrow and still didn’t see anything but what I don’t understand if they know that nobody was getting their deposits already yesterday why didn’t they go in and fix it yesterday??
Well I just got off the phone with my bank and she said to me that nothing was rejected or failed as far as a deposit yesterday she doesn’t see anything in my account for today and she said sometimes they can even see deposits coming in for tomorrow but she doesn’t see anything for that either so I’m sorry I think we’re getting the God damn run around ugghhh
I agree, I believe they doing some shady crap. There’s no way it was all sent out Friday like they claim. Everyone is getting theirs besides those that used a bank or CU, they screwed something up or they’re just flat out lying. My deposit came in with zero issues in July so should be the same this time.
I have been emailing with a person from Angeion. I copied his email…see below
Yes, there is an issue with the ACH transmissions. We are working on it. Initially, I was told it would be resolved today but now it looks like
tomorrow. I’m trying to get more information.
I emailed him back and this is what I said.
Thank you!! If you get more info will you pass it along to me? Thursday is a federal holiday so of course nothing can happen that day.
This was his response.
Yes, I hope it doesn’t take that long to fix. The programmers are working on it.
Thanks for passing this along.
Thank you. Let’s hope we see something very soon.
Super helpful update. At least we have a sense of what is going on. I will pray tonight it is resolved, so we see the $$ sometime tomorrow. My gut tells me it will be Friday because of the Veterans Day holiday on Thursday. Appreciate the update and please do post if you get anything else! thanks!
I keep seeing there was a issue with the ACH transmission, then how is it zelle and PayPal got theirs? That’s ACH as well. Makes absolutely zero since. Excuse after excuse. Guess everyone bank said nope, redo it. Please!
I think we are getting way under than what the plan of allocation states some of the attorneys have icy fingers!
No they don’t. It all goes through the courts so they can’t take more than 30%.
I bank with CU as well here in NC and nothing yet! Patiently waiting.
And we’re obviously not all getting checks because my mail came yesterday and I already came today and I got nothing and I think it’s pretty shady that everyone seems to be getting 27% of their first payment I don’t know I just don’t like the fact that they didn’t send out emails telling us what we were getting and now no one’s getting their money in their bank accounts this is just ridiculous and like I said if they knew that everyone was having problems with deposits yesterday why didn’t they go in and fix it yesterday cuz nothing came through my bank as rejected or failed they’re just lying
Yeah does seem shady. Because what I read is it was prorated based on when each one filed. Yet EVERYONE so far is getting 27% of first payment, guess everyone filed at the same exact time. Regardless of percentage, they need to get the issue with the banks fixed, this is bullshit and they know it. PayPal and zelle is ACH as well, yet people got them that way Friday, so why the hell aren’t banks. They’re full of it.
I understand problems occur and that there is possibly an error with the ACH. What I don’t understand is why we’ve had to reach out to Attorneys to try to determine what’s going on. A simple update to the settlement website would give us some answers but they haven’t bothered posting anything since July. Just really disappointed and think this could have been handled better.
I don’t understand why there was a problem with the ach? I mean u have all the info from last time and seriously u can’t hit a button correctly lol but if an ACH was rejected or failed wouldn’t our banks see that? Cuz I called my bank yesterday and they didn’t see anything…. rejected failed etc so that tells me that they didn’t send it on the 5th like they said but yes some damn info would be nice cuz all this conflicting info is getting crazy…I seen that we would have them Wednesday or Thursday but that can’t happen cuz thur is a bank holiday and then I seen something about next week which if true is total BS…uggghh it’s just because I really need the money right now that this is happening never fails
Looks like mine is arriving today just got notified through my app of what’s in the mail….and it’s there…..So it looks like they are mailing checks….so it might be true about ACH Deposits not being able to get done….I was also ACH Deposit with BOA & I’m in Florida…..looking forward to see how much it is….and glad this wait is over….and so grateful to have some of it returned and for all of you for the information provided here on this site… A big thank you to you all….
P.s. I will return here to let you know amount…Mail arrives here at 2pm eastern time…Thanks again all for keeping us update….
SWFL here. Did you get your 1st payment through direct deposit? If so then I’ll watch the mail. I have informed delivery but not showing no check in it, so will keep watching both. Hopefully all of us still waiting will see something soon. Congrats on getting yours, there’s still hope.
No I didn’t…. although that is what I requested…..It was extremely delayed and had to do all the paperwork to receive a reissue of the money…..I guess they had issues with making deposits at that time with a few banks….so some of us received checks…
Oh ok, that’s why you got a check then. They say you’ll receive it however it was successful the 1st time. Mine was through CU and I’m still waiting. Hard to believe that out of everyone that used a bank/CU no one has got a deposit.
In SWFL and 1st was ACH deposit on 7/12. Nothing in my CU or mail today. I guess we wait and see.
Same thing here. Got mine in my Suncoqst account that Monday, the 12th. So far nothing this go round.
Mine showed up in mail notification today. Curious to see the amount.
I got a notification too on my informed mail – looks like my check is coming today as well
I’m in RounRock Tx. Nothin in my informed delivery for today. Hopefully tomorrow.
How do you set that up?
Got my check – 27.1% of first check
Congratulations! The wait is over….I also received the same %…and absolutely thrilled we received some of it back…Yay!
Still nothing in my CU this morning. So that means they didn’t send everyone out at the same time. Nor sure how they are deciding on who gets theirs first, but it’s a shame people are getting checks before people are getting deposits. Guess I’ll wait and see if anything posts throughout the day, but not expecting it to. Should have it by now.
I’m reading elsewhere that they are having issues with the deposits to banks and credit unions. Anyone else heard this and know if it is true. Figured somethings going on for those people to not got anything yet. Read it could be as late as next week.
I haven’t read up on anything, but it’s possible. I bank with a CU and I’ve seen nothing yet.
It’s true. But I heard from the Administrator it should be today or tomorrow.. never hear late next week.
I read could be later next week on another site. Not sure if they were told that or guessing..I don’t know when it would be just reading a couple different things.
This is some bs. People getting checks in the mail today and people got deposits to zelle and PayPal Friday, yet we with banks and Credit Unions can’t get our money? Wtf is up with that? It takes hitting a fam button. We should had go ours before people received checks in the mail, I mean ach should be faster right?!?! Not possed at those that got it, pissed that they mailed those out and sent them out yet us with banks/CU have to keep waiting. It’s bs.
The ACH payments are delayed the hope to have them going tomorrow or the next day. Relax, it is coming. Continue to feel blessed you get anything back, when you made the purchase there was no promise to a refund…. breath, take a chill pill or whatever it is you need to do, you will get your deposit in a day or two.
Curious how you have this information since nothing is posted on the official settlement website. I think it’s unfair for you to tell people to chill when people are excited and sometimes in need of this additional money. While it’s a gift for sure, it became something promised to us by being part of the settlement group – so when you are expecting something and maybe actually need it, the details matter.
Hey I just got my check but remember I challenge so I never got first check. Anyway I’m in florydzie guys. And when I got my check I almost shit myself. My life time spending was 92.126 and I got check for 31573. I whish I can send you face of that check. I swear !!!! Good luck to all of you guys
We’re you non drp or drp?
I wow no Dpr
Hey u did well mine was 85k and my first check was only 15k
That’s awesome I’m sure that was a combination of both your checks? But either good for u
Hi:) Should I expect 20% of my first payment?
Gigi at this point I have no idea what to expect I’ve seen different amounts given to ppl who basically had the same LTS and who were non drp and the difference was like 14k more for one person and not the same for the other and I’ve been seeing this often when ppl posting their amounts so I’m not sure how they figured what anyone got lol but good luck on whatever u get
Honestly I think we are possibly getting checks because the last time was such a hassle. If we were getting direct deposit’s it would have been today. Far as I know the only people to get their money was from PayPal? I hope it’s not true because I don’t even see where they are responding now but they are active on twitter Angeion Group and I’ve been sending tweets to try to get their attention but I don’t think they care anymore because they’ve made their money.
I don’t think so, because my husband elected check , I elected ACH. His came in the mail, but nothing for me. It’s 3:10 Eastern and nothing. Last time I had it in my CU by 12 noon on Monday…. Not this time and it’s frustrating.
I didn’t get anything yet. I got a check the first time and it was in my mailbox July 14th
I haven’t gotten my check yet
I finally got a response from the administrator (after lead counsel called them) and they said some deposits could be Wednesday or Thursday and he said the payments did not have to be made by nov 4th just the settlement amounts determined. I sent him a screenshot of the court document that clearly says all disbursements must be paid within 30 days which was Nov 4th (5th if you do close of business day). Regardless, many of us won’t receive a deposit until tomorrow or Thursday! I’m just happy to know the deposit did not fail and he did verify that.
They are the epitome of procrastinators. Uggghhhh!
Well yes that is good news that the deposits didn’t fail but cmon how hard is it to hit a button and send out the file cuz the first time it went smoothly for me..so here’s hoping for a deposit tomorrow thank u for keeping us updated with your info very nice of u
Thank you so much for getting us updated information! I’m truly thankful, but they are horrible and they are in contempt because the document does say 30 days. The Angeion Group have been the worst claim administrator I’ve ever dealt with and they should be barred from handling class action settlements.
Omg.. the worst ones you ever dealt with? How many have you dealt with and how much money was involved. You sound a bit sue happy.. greedy one.
Hmmm…Well aren’t you a little judgy one.
You are correct. Payment was to be within 30 days. Is this where we start a class action against administrator! Lol..seriously though..
I was told that they will know by Wednesday or Thursday if the direct deposits were rejected. They said the file was sent on Friday. If the file was correct we should have it no later then Monday just saying. Also Thursday is a federal holiday so banks won’t be processing anything. This is the worst company ever. If no has a pending transaction I believe the ACH file is wrong or misdated.
Where did you get info? This whole thing has left be with knots in my stomach. I know it’s surplus, extra money but I had planned on it. Maybe that was stupid on my part … but I’m going to hope we see our ACH deposits tomorrow!!
I spoke to settlement administrator told him according to this and another website it seem nobody got their direct deposit they said they won’t know anything til Thursday which I find funny cause Thursday is a bank holiday. So I doubt they will be getting a report from their bank on Thursday about rejects. Highly unlikely that every direct deposit rejected. Their file probably misdated or incorrect.
This sucks but I would say let’s be a little more patient…today anyways. It’s only 10:35 AM on the west coast right now.
True but I would say I if we don’t receive payment by 2:00 pm today central time, then most likely we aren’t receiving it. It was noon last time.
I’m on east coast and I’ve had my CU update around 5-6 p.m. so give it till close of business day before giving up for the day. We can still see it today. Just frustrating because the 1st payment cleared the morning of the 12th for me.
I called my CU and they informed me that if it was transmitted on the 5th, it would have been in my account today. Also said I have no pending transaction except for my paycheck on Wednesday morning the 10th. Ughhh!!!!
I just spoke to the lead counsel and he is going to research why the administrators are not responding to us. I’ll post when I have more info. He was very frustrated that they were not handling this differently.
Lead counsel told me someone will reply within 24 hours. I guess we just have to continue waiting. He did mention there would be a third check but for a very small amount so don’t get excited about it. Remember if it’s less than $5 we do not receive it. Anything after this 2nd payment is a bonus basically!
Hey frustrated which office did you call? I lost my dad and was banking on funds being there this morning to take a bus to burry him. It sucks no one will answer my calls
Did you do direct deposit ? I amongst others who did still nothing for anyone who did. Strange
This is bull crap I use cash app last payment was made 12:43 and still nothing. Wtf ?
I’m so pissed and about to contact the administrator’s because I had mine at 12:03pm cst back in July and nothing today. I used Venmo and they’re very helpful and stated they have nothing yet.
Yeah I called my bank at 1115 and they didn’t see anything for today this is complete bullshit for sure
The administrators are not replying!
No one answers when you call the 800 number – when you are given option to speak to a live operator it rings then hangs up on you after 4 rings! This is ridiculous!
Has anyone received Notice of Distribution in Big Fish Games Settlement email for the second payment?
No Angelo they are not sending out emails for this second payment u just have to wait and see what u get ?
WTF nothing
Has anyone received the Supp payment today? Were they even processed? Any updates would be appreciated. Ty
I bank with Chase and still nothing.
I’m confused because the court said all payments must be paid out no later than 30 days from the courts approval of the claims and that was last Thursday. It said NO Later than 30 days so why are we still waiting on payments?
I got nothing yet Kelly I think last time I got it around 2 but I called my bank and they didn’t see anything pending in my account and that was around 1115 this am this is getting ridiculous
Nope, nothing in SWFL yet. I use a CU, so still waiting. Hopefully soon
No and I’ve been trying to get information from the settlement administrators since last week but no one replies to my emails and no live person answers the phone. Very frustrating that they didn’t even let us know the amount to expect and when it would be deposited. Seems like they should all pay at the same time.
My husband’s check is in the mail today but no deposit to my CU.
Still waiting for bank deposit but I have a feeling that the challenges are going to get more and the rest of us are going to get nothing
