What Is This Lawsuit About?
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against SpinX Games, Ltd., alleging claims based on the sale of virtual coins in Cash Frenzy, Lotsa Slots, Jackpot World (previously known as Jackpot Mania), Jackpot Crush, or Vegas Friends. SpinX denies all claims and that it violated any law, but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.
Who Is in the Settlement Class?
The Court decided that everyone who fits the following description is a member of the Settlement Class:
All individuals who, in Kentucky (as reasonably determined by billing address information, IP address information, or other information furnished by SPINX), spent $5.00 or more within a 24-hour period on Cash Frenzy on the dates between December 18, 2018 and February 24, 2021, Lotsa Slots on the dates between March 27, 2019 and February 4, 2021, Jackpot World (previously known as Jackpot Mania) on the dates between May 18, 2018 and March 8, 2021, Jackpot Crush on the dates between November 26, 2019 and February 24, 2021, and Vegas Friends on the dates between April 13, 2019 and March 2, 2021.
What Does this Settlement Provide?
If approved by the Court, SpinX will establish a Settlement Fund totaling $285,500. Settlement Class Member payments, as well as the cost to administer the Settlement, the cost to inform people about the Settlement, any attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the Court, and any incentive award to the Class Representative approved by the Court will also come out of this fund.
SpinX has also agreed to take or maintain measures designed to address video game behavior disorders, including providing self-service resources to players, providing for voluntary self-exclusion, and implementing in-game mechanics to ensure that players who run out of sufficient virtual coins will be able to continue to play the games without waiting an unreasonable amount of time.
