High 5 Games and High 5 Entertainment have agreed to put at least $12 million and as much as $30 million into a fund for people who played or bought virtual coins on High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas in Washington state. The money will not arrive at once. Payments are scheduled across an eight-year period, and a claim form filed by January 4, 2027 is the only way to receive a share. A federal judge in Washington is scheduled to consider final approval on February 8, 2027.
Class members are people who played or purchased virtual coins on either app in Washington after April 9, 2014 and before October 1, 2022, or whose purchases are tied to the state by billing address, IP address or other data from the platforms. Anyone who falls in that group and wants a payment has to submit the claim form, online or by mail postmarked by the deadline.
Payments from the High 5 settlement are set to trickle in over as many as eight years after a single filing date of January 4, 2027. The Settlement & Refund Recovery System walks through the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice and adds a claim log and payment tracker for installments that stretch across years.

A fund of $12 million to $30 million, paid in installments
The case is Larsen v. PTT, LLC, filed in the Western District of Washington, and the settlement agreement names High 5 Games, LLC, formerly PTT, LLC, and High 5 Entertainment, LLC as the defendants. It sets the settlement fund at no less than $12,000,000 and no more than $30,000,000, counting every installment and interest. An initial payment of $4,000,000 falls due within 15 days after the court grants preliminary approval. A jury had returned a verdict for the plaintiff before the parties settled, according to OpenClassActions, a settlement tracker.
After that first payment, the defendants owe, for each 12-month installment year, the greater of $1,000,000 or 20 percent of audited net income, capped at $2,000,000 a year. The baseline schedule is sixteen installments of $500,000 paid every six months over eight years. Extra money can come from two other triggers: a share of net income above the baseline, up to $1,000,000 a year, and 20 percent of net cash proceeds if the companies sell equity or assets in a liquidity event.
Because the payments run for years, the agreement backs the promise with a security agreement and two escrowed consent judgments, one for $12,000,000 and one for $30,000,000. Class counsel will ask for no more than 35 percent of the fund plus costs, and administration expenses also come out of it. A person’s share depends on the dollar amount of in-app purchases made during the class period, the number of valid claims and the total the defendants pay, so no per-player figure exists yet.
Two deadlines, and the 52-day order that explains them
The settlement website lists January 4, 2027 as the deadline to file a claim, ask to be excluded or object, and February 8, 2027 for the final approval hearing. JND Legal Administration runs the site. The site also warns that these deadlines may be moved, canceled or otherwise modified, which makes the administrator’s page, not a third-party listing, the place where a change would show up first.
Some listings still carry an older date. OpenClassActions shows a claim deadline of November 13, 2026, and the court’s document list on the settlement site includes an order granting a motion to continue the settlement deadlines by 52 days. Counting 52 days from November 13 lands on January 4, which matches the date the administrator now posts. A player relying on a roundup that shows November 13 would be working from the superseded date.
Excluding oneself is a separate act from skipping the claim. The website says a person must affirmatively submit a request to be excluded, and that the same January 4 date applies. Players who exclude themselves give up any payment but keep the right to sue on their own, while those who stay in and never file a claim receive nothing.
What the claim form collects, and when checks follow
OpenClassActions lists the claim as requiring no proof of purchase, such as a receipt. The agreement describes what the form does collect: identifying details, Player and Platform IDs, and the emails tied to the payment accounts used in the apps. Claimants can choose to be paid electronically or by check, and a check that sits uncashed becomes void after 90 days. Claims that arrive incomplete may be corrected within 28 days after the claims deadline.
Initial payments to class members go out within 60 days after the settlement’s effective date, which comes only after the judge grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. Since the later installments depend partly on the defendants’ net income, the website notes that payments may be distributed in more than one round, and the specific years of the payment period are not listed.
Filing the Washington claim before January 4
The claim itself is filed at the administrator’s online claim page, or by mail to High 5 Games Settlement, c/o JND Legal Administration, PO Box 91300, Seattle, WA 98111. Questions go to JND at 1-888-663-1726 or info@High5Lawsuit.com. Filing is free, and a request for a fee to file a claim, or a link from anyone other than the administrator, is not part of this settlement.
The form works best with the emails tied to each app account and the Player ID and platform for each account, whether Facebook, Apple, Amazon or Google, at hand. Players with several accounts have more than one set of IDs to enter, and the payment method choice, electronic or check, is made on the form. A saved confirmation gives something to match against when the first checks are due.
What a claim ends up worth stays open for now. The agreement sets a floor of $12,000,000, which is divided among every valid claim and reduced by fees and administration costs, and the larger numbers up to $30,000,000 depend on the defendants’ income or a sale of equity or assets. JND’s calculation will turn on the total purchases of each claimant and the number of claims that arrive by January 4.
Two High 5 deadlines are circulating
The administrator posts January 4, 2027, while some roundups still show November 13, and a payment schedule that runs up to eight years adds a third clock. The Settlement & Refund Recovery System, a 50-page guide, lays out the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice, a step-by-step filing walkthrough and a claim log and payment tracker, so the real date and every installment stay in one place.
