Who Is High 5 Games and Why Are They Being Sued Over Virtual Coins?

PTT, LLC, doing business as High 5 Games, built High 5 Casino and High 5 Vegas — mobile slot apps where players buy virtual coins to keep spinning once their free coins run out. Those coins can’t be cashed out for real money, which is exactly how High 5 argued the apps weren’t gambling. A Washington federal judge disagreed: on June 11, 2024, the court ruled on summary judgment that High 5 had violated the state’s gambling-loss recovery law, and a jury was left to decide only how much High 5 owed.

What Did High 5 Do to Washington Players Between 2014 and 2022?

This case didn’t end the way most class actions do. Most defendants settle before a judge or jury ever rules against them. High 5 didn’t get that option. The court already found the company liable in June 2024, and on February 7, 2025, a federal jury put a number on it — awarding the class close to $25 million after finding High 5’s virtual coin sales amounted to illegal gambling under Washington’s Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act.

Rather than fight that verdict through years of appeals, High 5 agreed to settle. But there’s a catch worth understanding before you file: the settlement only guarantees $12 million, not the roughly $25 million the jury actually awarded. The rest — up to $30 million total — depends on High 5’s future income or what happens if the company is ever sold. That gap between the verdict and the guaranteed payout is the single most important number in this article.

Washington isn’t the only state where this fight is playing on. See how a similar case played out in the Apple, Google, and Meta casino-style gambling app lawsuits, where the same underlying legal theory — virtual coins as a “thing of value” under gambling law — is being tested against the platforms that host these apps.

That $12 million floor is real money High 5 has to pay no matter what. Everything above it depends on the company staying in business and turning a profit.

Who Qualifies for the High 5 Casino Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• Residents of Washington who purchased virtual coins in High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas between April 9, 2014, and October 1, 2022
• Anyone whose billing address, IP address, or platform account data ties their High 5 activity to Washington during that window
• Players who received an email or mailed notice about this settlement or an earlier class certification order
• Those unsure of their status can call the administrator directly to check

You do not qualify if you’re a current or former director, officer, or employee of High 5 Games or High 5 Entertainment, a judge assigned to the case and their immediate family, or if you’ve already filed a valid request to be excluded.

High 5 Casino Players Outside Washington — Are You Still Covered?

No. Unlike most nationwide data-breach settlements, this case only covers people located in Washington State at the time of their High 5 activity. If you played High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas from another state, this Settlement Class doesn’t include you — Washington’s gambling-loss statute is what makes the claims possible, and it only applies to residents there.

Not sure if you qualify for the High 5 Casino settlement? A free consultation with a consumer protection attorney can help you sort out billing address and residency questions before the November 13, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can High 5 Casino Settlement Class Members Get?

There’s no flat number here, and anyone promising you one is guessing. Your payment depends on three things: how much you personally spent on virtual coins during the class period, how many other people file valid claims, and how much of the $12 million–to–$30 million fund actually gets paid in over the multi-year schedule.

How the High 5 Settlement Fund Gets Paid Out

High 5 pays $4,000,000 up front, then at least $1,000,000 a year for up to eight years. On top of that floor, High 5 may owe more if its net income rises or if the company is sold or otherwise changes hands — those contingent payments are what could push the total toward $30 million.

What “Multi-Year Payment Period” Means for Your Check

Don’t expect one lump sum. Payments go out in rounds as High 5 makes its scheduled contributions. If your share comes to less than $10 at any single distribution, it rolls forward and gets added to your next payment instead of being sent out right away.

Checks expire 90 days after they’re issued, so cash yours promptly — money left in expired or unprocessed payments gets redistributed to other class members or donated to the Legal Foundation of Washington. Payment can also be made electronically, which the settlement site recommends as faster and more secure. Class Counsel’s fee request tops out at 35% of the fund, plus costs, and Larsen himself can seek up to $15,000 as an incentive award for bringing the case.

4. Choose electronic payment or a mailed check
5. Submit the form and keep your confirmation

Should High 5 Class Members Opt Out or Object Before November 13, 2026?

What Opting Out of the High 5 Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means giving up any settlement payment but keeping your right to sue High 5 on your own over the same claims. Given that a jury already found High 5 liable, opting out to pursue an individual claim is a real option worth discussing with a lawyer — most people still shouldn’t do it without advice. The deadline to exclude yourself is November 13, 2026.

How to Object to the High 5 Settlement

Objecting means staying in the class while telling the court, in writing, what you disagree with — the fee request, the payment structure, or anything else. Objections must be filed with the U.S. District Court, 1717 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402-3200, and sent to Class Counsel and defense counsel, all by November 13, 2026.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before November 13, 2026 if you’re weighing either option.

High 5 Casino — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 3:18-cv-05275-TMC

Do I need a lawyer to file a High 5 Casino settlement claim? 

No. The claim form at high5lawsuit.com is designed to be filed without one. Class Counsel — Edelson PC and Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC — already represents the class for free; you can hire your own attorney at your own cost if you want separate advice.

Is the High 5 Casino settlement legitimate? 

Yes. It’s overseen by Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Case No. 3:18-cv-05275-TMC, and administered by JND Legal Administration. Only use high5lawsuit.com to file.

When will High 5 settlement payments be sent?

 The first payment follows the December 14, 2026 final approval hearing, assuming the court approves the deal and no appeal follows. Because High 5 pays over up to eight years, later rounds arrive on a separate schedule.

What if I missed the High 5 claim deadline?

 Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by November 13, 2026. There’s no stated grace period in the notice, so file as early as possible rather than waiting.

How much did High 5 agree to pay in this settlement?

 At least $12,000,000, guaranteed, and up to $30,000,000 depending on the company’s future earnings or a sale. A jury had already awarded the class close to $25 million before the settlement was reached.

What law did High 5 allegedly violate?

 Washington’s Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act and the state’s Consumer Protection Act. A federal judge ruled High 5 liable under both in June 2024.

Am I part of the High 5 lawsuit if I live outside Washington? 

No. This Settlement Class is limited to people located in Washington during their High 5 activity, based on billing address, IP address, or platform records.

Can I still object or opt out of the High 5 settlement?

 Yes, but only through November 13, 2026 — the same date as the claim filing deadline. After that, all three options close and the court’s ruling at the final hearing applies to you.
