Everi Debit Card Receipts Class Action Settlement

Everi has agreed to pay $14 million to resolve claims that they printed too much information on debit card receipts in violation of federal law.

The settlement benefits consumers who received credit or debit card receipts from Everi which contained four digits in a field labeled “BIN” between Feb. 16, 2016 and Dec. 31, 2019.

Everi, based in the Spring Valley area of Las Vegas, makes slot machines and cash access services, such as ATMS, according to CasinoJournal.

Plaintiffs in the Everi class action lawsuit challenged the company’s practices of printing information on credit and debit card receipts. Allegedly, Everi printed both the first and last four digits of the payment card number – more than the information allowed under federal law.

“The printing of the receipt invaded Plaintiffs’ privacy as it disclosed her private card account information to the casino employee who handed her the receipt on Defendant’s behalf and additionally was likely exposed, on information and belief, to other patrons and/or surveillance cameras recording high-definition video footage of the point-of-sale at which such receipt was provided to Plaintiff,” the Everi debit card receipts class action lawsuit contended.

According to the Everi class action, the company’s actions violated the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA). FACTA standardizes the amount of information that venders can include on electronically printed receipts in order to protect Americans from identity theft.

Under FACTA, electronically printed credit and debit card receipts can include only the last five digits of a payment card number. No information about the card’s expiration date can be printed on a receipt. Violations of these regulations could result in legal damages of up to $1,000.

Plaintiffs in the Everi class action lawsuit argued that the company knew the requirements of FACTA but chose to print too much information on credit and debit card receipts. As a result, plaintiffs and other consumers were allegedly exposed to the risk of identity theft.

Everi has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to resolve the claims against them by funding a settlement of $14 million.

Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members can recover cash payments estimated to be between $40 and $60. Payment amounts will be distributed on a proportional basis but will depend on the number of claims filed and the net settlement fund after deductions of fees, expenses, and service awards.
