DoubleDown Interactive agreed to a $415 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims its casino mobile games violated Washington’s gambling laws.
The settlement benefits consumers who played DoubleDown Casino, DoubleDown Fort Knox, DoubleDown Classic and/or Ellen’s Road to Riches before Nov. 14, 2022.
DoubleDown Interactive is a mobile gaming developer that specializes in casino games. These games allow consumers who play casino games on their mobile devices.
According to a class action lawsuit, DoubleDown’s games violate Washington’s laws against gambling. In order to play DoubleDown Interactive casino games, users are allegedly required to use in-game “chips.” Although consumers receive a bundle of free chips upon downloading the games, consumers are allegedly forced to purchase additional chips using real money.
“Defendants’ online casino games have thrived and thousands of consumers have spent millions of dollars unwittingly playing Defendants’ unlawful games of chance,” the gambling class action lawsuit contends.
Since the game chips are purchased with real money and are used to wager for more chips, the plaintiffs contend the casino mobile apps represent illegal gambling schemes. These apps allegedly violate Washington’s gambling laws and, therefore, plaintiffs say that they are entitled to recover the illegal profits gained by DoubleDown Interactive.
DoubleDown hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $415 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve these claims.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the amount they spent on in-game purchases for DoubleDown casino games, the number of claims filed and the net settlement fund after deductions.
Class members who spent higher amounts on in-app purchases will receive larger payments. Coming soon, consumers can check the settlement website for a settlement payment estimate.
Any funds remaining in the settlement after the initial round of checks and electronic payments may be used for a second distribution or donated to the Legal Foundation of Washington.
Also as part of the class action lawsuit settlement, DoubleDown Interactive has agreed to make changes to its casino applications to include information about video game behavior disorders. The games will also include a voluntary self-exclusion policy.
The game developer has also agreed to gameplay changes that allow consumers to continue playing the apps without having to purchase additional in-game currency.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 14, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for June 1, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by April 11, 2023.

I have been playing since 2010
It does matter how long you played and how much money you spent which will be verified via the amount of accounts you have and how much money you’ve spent So yes it does matter how long and how much money you spent
I don’t think that make a difference. You had to file a claim or choose to opt out by April 11.
If you continue to play DoubleDown casino after you filed a class action claim, does that mean you have opted out of the class action suit?
It does matter how long you played and how much money you spent which will be verified via the amount of accounts you have and how much money you’ve spent So yes it does matter how long and how much money you spent and you just can’t say add me you have to include each email address and Facebook account you used to play from.

That isn’t going to work because you have a form to fill out and you are required to list each account separately with the correct email address that matches accounts you have used..
I have a good class action lawsuit. please contact me thank you
Wrong you had until 11April23 to submit your control number and fill out the correct complaint form which will then be verified by the Judge and court system as to how much you are paid based off of your spending
I’ve received an email with a Unique ID. However I’ve Uninstalled DoubleDown Casino. Exactly how am I supposed to get this game ID and platform ID that I’ve Uninstalled. There has to be a better way to file this claim.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can get my Player IDs from my old facebook account that’s been closed for years?
i play it on facebook

Add me please. I verified that DoubleDown is one that I did have, and paid to play additional coins. I’m not sure how to get information other than sending screenshots though. Please contact me. Thanks!
