Players of myVEGAS and Pop! Slots who spent money in six states will be paid in game coins unless they ask for cash by October 21, 2026. A class action settlement with the game maker Playstudios sets the coin payout at 27 percent of a player’s net spending, while the cash option pays 23 percent. Doing nothing locks in the coins. The same October 21 date is the last day to opt out of the deal or object to it, and a judge in Alabama holds the final approval hearing on November 10.

The settlement covers anyone who spent real money in the games while in Alabama, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee or Kentucky during a set window for each state. Players who only used free coins are left out. The decision facing everyone else is simple to state and easy to miss: take the coins that arrive by default, or file an election form for cash before the deadline, because the cash election closes on October 21.
Election, opt-out and objection all fall on the same day, October 21, with the hearing three weeks later. The Settlement & Refund Recovery System explains the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice and gives a claim log and payment tracker for the election and the installments that follow.

Six states, six different start dates
The settlement website lists the class periods by state. Alabama runs from March 8, 2022, Ohio and Massachusetts from July 26, 2022, Tennessee from November 12, 2022 and New Jersey from January 2, 2024. All five end on June 30, 2026. Kentucky is the outlier: its window opens July 5, 2018 and closes June 29, 2023, so players there who spent money after mid-2023 are outside the class.
Eight products count as covered games: myVEGAS on Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack and myVEGAS Bingo. Where a player was located is judged by Playstudios’ own records of the account, not by where the person lives now, so someone who moved after buying coins can still be counted in the state where the purchases were made. Playstudios, its affiliates, judges and anyone who validly opts out are excluded.
Why coins pay 27 percent and cash pays 23
The settlement’s frequently asked questions set the two payouts. Coins equal 27 percent of what a player spent, and cash equals 23 percent, with both figures calculated the same way and then reduced by platform fees, administration costs, the attorneys’ fee award and incentive payments. OpenClassActions, a settlement tracker, explains that net spending means purchases minus the 30 percent that app stores and Facebook keep. On $100 of purchases, that works out to about $18.90 in coins or $16.10 in cash before the other deductions.
Class counsel had to file its request for fees by October 7, and the judge decides how much to award. Each of the named players who brought the case, in the case White v. Playstudios US, can receive an incentive award of up to $10,000. The settlement pages do not state a total fund. They say Playstudios deposits $3 million after final judgment and adds more as needed, so no per-player dollar figure can be promised in advance.
Cash comes with a ceiling. Total cash elections are capped at 17 percent of the Total Settlement Amount, and if players elect more than that, the reduced portion is paid in virtual currency instead. In practice, a player who elects cash could still receive some coins. Playstudios denies all claims and says its games are not gambling under any state’s law, and the court has not decided the case.
What the election form asks for
An election can be filed online or by mail. The online form must be in by 11:59:59 p.m. Central time on October 21, and a paper form must be postmarked by that date. The form asks whether the player holds a Settlement Claim ID, and players without one use the no-ID option. It then asks for every email tied to the game and platform accounts, up to 20, plus the Player ID or support code for each game where coins were bought. A form that is timely but incomplete can be fixed within 28 days after the deadline.
Timing differs sharply between the two choices. Cash is due within 60 days after the settlement takes effect, which means after final approval and the end of any appeals. Coins arrive in installments, with the first within 30 days of that date and the rest spread over up to 24 months. A cash check expires 90 days after it is issued, and a check that is never cashed or fails to deliver is converted into coins.
The final approval hearing is set for 2:00 p.m. on November 10, 2026, at the Franklin County Circuit Court in Russellville, Alabama, before Judge Brian P. Hamilton, in Case No. 33-CV-2025-900186.00. Members who stay in the class give up their claims against Playstudios over the matters the deal resolves, whether or not an election is filed. Opting out keeps the right to sue separately but ends any share of the settlement.
Finding the game ID before October 21
The settlement website runs a Find My Game ID page that explains where each game shows its identifier. In myVEGAS, the Support Code sits under Settings in the main lobby, while Pop! Slots and MGM Slots Live show a Support Code or User ID under the gear icon and then Info. myVEGAS Bingo uses a separate code called a BFID. Eisner Advisory Group is the administrator behind the site.
Having the emails and IDs on hand before opening the form matters because the form takes up to 20 emails and an ID for every game where coins were purchased. Players who spent in several of the eight games need one ID for each. Anyone who wants to keep the right to sue Playstudios has the same October 21 date to submit an exclusion instead.
The choice comes down to the settlement’s own arithmetic: 27 percent in coins that arrive over as long as two years, or 23 percent in cash that is capped at 17 percent of the total fund and reduced to coins if too many players ask for it. The settlement site gives no total fund figure, so the size of any cash payment remains tied to the November 10 hearing and the fee award the judge approves.
