Every gambling lawsuit, settlement and claim, on the record

207 gambling lawsuits, settlements and claims are on record as of November 14, 2026, from 23 jurisdictions, each with its court, docket, status and the date that status was read.

They include class actions, player refund suits, regulator and attorney-general cases, criminal trials of operators and the claim procedures that follow a settlement. The record is free to read and independent of every operator.

GamblingLawsuits.org is not a law firm and not a settlement administrator, and it links to no operator. Filing a claim is always free. Which of these cases is paying anyone today?

Counts are records, not every case ever filed; completeness is checked jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

Settlements you can still claim

High 5: per the settlement site, amending order not retrieved. New York: derived from the Assurance of Discontinuance; no form published.

4 consumer settlements accept claims as of November 14, 2026: the Pulsz six-state settlement until November 30, 2026, the High 5 Games Washington settlement until January 4, 2027 (per the settlement site), the Riverside Resort & Casino data breach settlement until January 4, 2027, and the New York Attorney General's Sweeps Coin redemption from VGW until August 31, 2027.

Every other case here has paid in the past or has no payout to claim, with one Maltese exception below. Across all gambling lawsuits by category, these are the only live claim windows.

Each estimate is a formula, not a promise: the fund (Pulsz about USD 14 million in estimated benefits, mostly Gold Coins; High 5 USD 12 million to 30 million over up to eight years; Riverside up to USD 1 million) less fees, costs and awards, divided among valid claims.

The New York item is an administrative settlement, not a court case, and requests go to VGW because no form is published. The fifth row, the Malta Gaming Authority's process for BTM Entertainment players, has no deadline or published total. Official claim sites are on open gambling class action settlements by deadline.

The record in brief: 207 cases in 23 jurisdictions

The 207 records split into 138 decided cases, 8 pending complaints, 31 dismissals, 9 appeals, 2 stays and 4 final settlements, with the rest in motion, withdrawn, certified or in a claims process.

Five ways into the record

The site is built from five sections, and every one is generated from the same case records, so a status changed on a case page changes on every list that carries it.

Cases by category

19 categories hold the record, the largest being licensing and administrative court cases (59), German and Austrian player refund litigation (25), sweepstakes casino lawsuits (3), regulator and attorney-general cases (23) and prediction market lawsuits (8).

Countries and US states

23 jurisdictions have at least one case on record: the United States (40), Germany (15), the Court of Justice of the European Union (27), the United Kingdom (14), Canada (5) and Australia (5) lead, and the US pages open with the controlling court order and its date. See gambling lawsuits by country.

Companies

A company page gathers every case in which an operator or supplier is a defendant or a plaintiff, says in its first lines whether a settlement is open, and lists the brands the records use for the same group. The rest are under gambling lawsuits by company.

Trackers and tools

Trackers are tables built from the records and refreshed with them, from Kalshi court orders to settlements by year. Three free tools need no sign-up, and the calculator shows every line of arithmetic. The full set is under trackers.

GamblingLawsuits.org is a non-commercial project that takes no money from operators, affiliates or law firms, carries no advertising and never links to a gambling operator, not even as a source.

We are not a law firm and not a settlement administrator: filing a claim is free, and the only claim forms we point to are the official ones named in the court order.

Every payout figure on this site is an estimate with its formula shown, every status carries the date it was read from the record, and every case table can be downloaded under CC BY 4.0.

Questions people ask

Is there a gambling lawsuit settlement I can claim right now?

Yes, 4: Pulsz (election by November 30, 2026), High 5 Games (Washington, by January 4, 2027), the Riverside Resort & Casino data breach settlement (by January 4, 2027) and New York's VGW Sweeps Coin redemption (to August 31, 2027). Official claim sites and required proof are on open gambling class action settlements by deadline.

Can I get compensation for gambling losses?

Usually not, and never through a form on this site: no gambling-addiction class action has produced a settlement payout to players, and the settlements that paid are the virtual-chip and sweepstakes cases. Individual judgments are the exception, such as Sweden's Supreme Court ordering Betsson to repay EUR 527,395 on July 1, 2025 (T 607-24). See can you get gambling losses back.

In England every duty-of-care claim has failed: Calvert in 2008, Gibson in the Court of Appeal in 2025 and Ashton on November 13, 2026 ([2026] EWHC 2935 (KB)). Refunds there have come from Gambling Commission settlements, not judgments, as UK gambling compensation claims explains.

What is the new gambling law for 2026?

This site records court cases, not legislation, so the answer is which 2026 statutes have reached a court: the state bans on dual-currency sweepstakes casinos, Minnesota's prediction-market statute of August 1, 2026, now under a federal injunction, and Brazil's MP 1.394/2026 before the Supremo Tribunal Federal. See sweepstakes casino bans by state.

What this site does not cover

Regulator fines that never reached a court, how or where to gamble, odds, bonuses, operator reviews, tax advice, criminal cases against individual players and injury or premises claims against a casino are outside this record.

Gambling debt and the consequences of online gambling are health questions, not litigation questions. Find help on gambling helplines by country.

Sources and method

Of the 207 records on this site, 198 carry a status read directly from an order, docket or filed complaint; the rest rest on court press releases, regulator decisions and administrator notices, each flagged in the case's sources table. The sourcing rules are set out under methodology.

Every table on the site is downloadable as CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0, with a stable case id and a change log, through open data.
