The settlement deal provides cash payments depending on the amount spent on Big Fish Casino games. The deal ensures plaintiffs and Class Members can recover compensation while also avoiding the costs and risks of a trial for all involved parties. “By operating Big Fish Casino and other similar online gambling games, Defendants have violated Washington law and illegally profited from tens of thousands of consumers,” Thimmegowda argued in her Big Fish Casino class action lawsuit.īig Fish Casino has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to resolve the claims against them in a $155 million settlement.

The plaintiff said these profits are mostly gained through in-app purchases. In fact, in 2017, free-to-play “gambling” games allegedly generated more than $3.8 billion in profits for the operator. She argued that Big Fish Casino has taken advantage of thousands of consumers through the same illegal gambling scheme.
