Alabama court approves six-state myVEGAS and Pop! Slots settlement

Judge Brian P. Hamilton of the Franklin County Circuit Court in Alabama granted final approval on November 10, 2026, to a class action settlement covering purchases in eight Playstudios social casino games, including myVEGAS and Pop! Slots. The October 21 deadline to choose cash has passed, and final approval did not reopen it.

Which players does the Playstudios settlement cover?

The settlement covers eligible players who spent money to play a covered game while in Alabama, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio or Tennessee during that state’s purchase period. The eight products are myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack and myVEGAS Bingo.

The administrator’s eligibility list gives the dates for each state. Kentucky’s period ended June 29, 2023; the other five ended June 30, 2026. Players who opted out do not receive settlement benefits.

The plaintiffs alleged that Playstudios violated state gambling laws by selling virtual chips. Playstudios denied the allegations. The final approval order dismissed the case with prejudice and directed the parties to carry out the agreement.

When will eligible players receive cash or in-game credits?

Under the settlement agreement, the administrator must pay approved cash elections by check or electronic transfer within 60 days of the effective date unless the court sets another date. Playstudios must start distributing in-game credits within 30 days of that same date and may spread them over 24 months.

Eligible players who stayed in the class without an approved cash election generally receive in-game credits without filing a form, subject to the agreement’s rules for inactive accounts. See how social casino credits work for what those credits let players do.

The effective date depends on the appeal window closing or any qualifying appeal being resolved with the judgment intact. The agreement also requires Playstudios to fund the settlement. The official settlement site has not announced a payment date. Players can contact the administrator about eligibility or an election they already submitted.
