Frequently Asked Questions

A Court authorized the notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit, and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the Settlement. This website explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights. Judge Brian P. Hamilton of the Circuit Court in Franklin County, Alabama is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known as White, et al. v. Playstudios US, LLC. The people who sued, Haley White, Donavan Roberts, Hope Murnaghan, Prince AllahBeautiful, Christopher Ebersole, and Luke Whitney, are the “Class Representatives.” The company that got sued is Playstudios US, LLC, which agreed to settle the lawsuit.

In a class action, one or more people called class representatives sue on behalf of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who choose to exclude themselves from the class.

The lawsuit claims that Playstudios violated Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, and Massachusetts state gambling laws through the sale of virtual chips in the following social casino themed games: myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, www.myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack, and myVEGAS Bingo (collectively “Applications”). Playstudios denies all claims and that it violated any law.

The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiffs or the Defendants should win this case. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation, and Settlement Class Members will get compensation now rather than years from now, if at all. More information about the Settlement and the lawsuit are available to Class Members on the court documents page of the settlement website here, or by accessing the Court docket in this case, through the Court’s electronic filing system at https://alacourt.com, or by visiting the office of the Clerk of the Court for the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays.

The Court decided that everyone who fits this description and chooses not to request to be excluded is a member of the Settlement Class: All persons who spent money to play the Applications in the following States in the following time periods:

• Alabama: any Application from March 8, 2022, through June 30, 2026.
• Ohio: any Application from July 26, 2022, through June 30, 2026.
• New Jersey: any Application from January 2, 2024, through June 30, 2026.
• Massachusetts: any Application from July 26, 2022, through June 30, 2026.
• Tennessee: any Application from November 12, 2022, through June 30, 2026.
• Kentucky: any Application from July 5, 2018 through June 29, 2023.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) any Judge or Magistrate presiding over this action and members of their families, (2) the Defendants, Defendants’ subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the defendants or their parents have a controlling interest and their current or former officers, directors, and employees, (3) persons who properly execute and file a timely request for exclusion from the settlement class, and (4) the legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such excluded persons. If you are not sure whether you are included, you can call the Settlement Administrator at 1-844-586-2442. Or you can get free help by calling the lawyers appointed to represent class members in this case at 1-800-667-6759.

If approved by the Court, Playstudios will provide twenty seven percent (27%) of the amount you have spent in the Applications in the foregoing States during the foregoing time periods less platform fees, Administrative Expenses, Attorneys’ Fee Award, and Incentive Payments in virtual currency of the game. Settlement Class Members also have the option, but not the obligation, to file an Election Form to elect to receive twenty three percent (23%) of the amount spent in the Applications in the foregoing States during the foregoing time periods less platform fees, Administrative Expenses, Attorneys’ Fee Award, and Incentive Payments in money transfer rather than virtual currency. The amount paid for a valid and Approved Election may be affected by the number of elections made as the total amount of elections for money payment are subject to an aggregate cap of seventeen percent (17%) of Total Settlement Amount. In the event an election for money payment is reduced as a result of the cap, such reduction will be provided for in virtual currency.

If you file an Election Form, you should receive a check or electronic payment from the Settlement Administrator within 60 days after the Settlement has been finally approved and/or after any appeals process is complete. The hearing to consider the final approval of the Settlement is scheduled for November 10, 2026. If you select to receive your payment via check, please keep in mind that checks will expire and become void 90 days after they are issued. If you do not file an Election Form, you will receive virtual coins in installments over two years.

No, in order to get the virtual currency benefit, you do not have to file an Election.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you want to receive a payment instead of virtual currency, you must submit a valid and timely Election Form no later than October 21, 2026. You may request an election form or submit one online here.

If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue Playstudios for the claims being resolved by this Settlement. The specific claims you are giving up are described in the Settlement Agreement. You will be “releasing” Playstudios and certain related parties (collectively, the “Released Parties”), described in the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself (see Question 14), you are releasing the claims, regardless of whether you submit an election or not. The Settlement Agreement is available to Class Members here. The Settlement Agreement describes the released claims with specific descriptions, so read it carefully. If you have any questions you can talk to the lawyers listed in Question 12 for free by calling 1-800-667-6759, or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about what this means.

If you do nothing, you will receive your benefits of virtual coins under the settlement, and you will release Playstudios for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

The Court has appointed lawyers from Davis & Norris, LLP and Bedford, Rogers, & Bowling, P.C. These attorneys are called “Class Counsel.” You will not be charged for the lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense. The Plaintiffs in the case who are Settlement Class Members from each of the States have asked the Court to appoint them as “Class Representatives.”

Class Counsel attorneys’ fees and costs will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount to be determined and awarded by the Court. Subject to approval by the Court, each Class Representative may be paid an “Incentive Award” from the Settlement Fund for helping to bring and settle this case. No Class Representative will ask for more than $10,000 as an incentive award.

You may choose to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class by sending a letter to the settlement administrator no later than October 21, 2026. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive any settlement benefits, but you keep any rights you may have to sue Defendants over the claims in the lawsuit. Specific instructions about how to object to or exclude yourself from the settlement are available here. To exclude yourself from the settlement, you must email, mail, or otherwise deliver a letter (or request for exclusion) stating that you want to be excluded from the “White, et al. v. Playstudios US, LLC, Case No. 33-CV-2025-900186.00″ case. Your letter or request for exclusion must include your (a) name (b) telephone number (c) U.S. Mail address, (d) email address, (e) Player ID(s), Support Code(s), and/or email addresses associated with myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, www.myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack, and myVEGAS Bingo, and (f) your individual ink-signed signature.

You must email or mail your exclusion request no later than October 21, 2026, to:

No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue the Defendants for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

No. If you exclude yourself, you should not submit an Election Form to ask for benefits because you won’t receive any.

You can ask the Court to deny approval by filing an objection. You can’t ask the Court to order a different settlement; the Court can only approve or reject the settlement being proposed. If the Court denies approval, no settlement benefits will be sent out and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, and you want to do something to advocate that, you must object. Any objection to the proposed settlement must be in writing. If you file a timely written objection, you may, but are not required to, appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for hiring and paying that attorney. If you want to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing to object to the Settlement, with or without a lawyer (explained below in answer to Question Number 21), you must say so in your letter or brief. All written objections and supporting papers must include: (i) all Player ID(s) and/or Support Code(s) associated with myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, www.myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack, and myVEGAS Bingo, (ii) all email address(es) associated with myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, www.myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack, and myVEGAS Bingo, (iii) current telephone number, U.S. Mail address, and email address, (iv) the specific grounds for the objection, (v) all documents or writings that the Settlement Class Member desires the Court to consider, (vi) the name and contact information of any and all attorneys representing, advising, or in any way assisting the objector in connection with the preparation or submission of the objection or who may profit from the pursuit of the objection, and (vii) a statement indicating whether the objector intends to appear at the Final Approval Hearing (either personally or through counsel, who must file an appearance or seek pro hac vice admission). All written objections must be emailed or otherwise delivered to Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel, and filed with the Court before October 21, 2026. Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on the Court Documents page available to Class Members its request for attorneys’ fees by October 7, 2026.

Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself from the Settlement Class is telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you.

The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on November 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, 410 N. Jackson Avenue, Russellville, Alabama 35653. At that hearing, the Court will: hear any objections to the fairness of the settlement; determine the fairness of the settlement; consider Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs; and decide whether to approve incentive awards to the Class Representatives of up to $10,000 each from the Settlement. The Court may award less than these amounts. Class Counsel will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount to be determined and awarded by the Court.

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you filed and mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay another lawyer to attend as described elsewhere herein, but it’s not required.

Yes. You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must include in your letter or brief objecting to the settlement a statement saying that it is your “Notice of Intent to Appear in White, et al. v. Playstudios US, LLC, Case No. 33-CV-2025-900186.00.” As described in Question 17 more fully, it must include your name, address, telephone number and signature as well as the name and address of your lawyer, if one is appearing for you. Your objection and notice of intent to appear must be filed with the Court and sent no later than October 21, 2026.
