Seven firms have administered the 10 gambling settlements with a court-approved claim site on record as of 14 November 2026, and two of those sites accept claims today. This page defines the role, lists the firms, measures the timelines and gives five checks for any notice.
Who actually sends the money, and how do you know the letter is real? The court record names the firm, its website and its P.O. box, and a genuine notice matches all three.
DoubleDown and Zynga payment dates rest on reader reports and aggregator notes (secondary); the rest are from orders, notices and administrator sites.
What a settlement administrator is, and the two gambling claim sites live today
A settlement administrator is the firm the court appoints in the preliminary approval order to send the notice, run the official claim website, check the claims and pay the money; in Larsen v.
PTT the order of 14 August 2026 "appoints JND Legal Administration as the Settlement Administrator" (para. 10) and directs the notice vendor Kroll to hand over the high5lawsuit.com domain (para. 11). A complaint states one side's allegations, and only the court's orders decide anything. The wider record sits in all gambling lawsuits by category.
Two gambling claim sites are live as of 14 November 2026: ysisettlement.com (Pulsz six-state, EisnerAmper, elections to 30 November 2026) and high5lawsuit.com (High 5 Larsen, JND, claims to 4 January 2027 per the administrator site; the amending order is not retrieved).
The New York VGW redemption has no administrator and no form in the record. Every deadline is on open gambling class action settlements by deadline.
| Matter | Administrator | Official site | Deadline | Hotline | Docket |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulsz six-state settlement | EisnerAmper | ysisettlement.com | 30 November 2026 (elections, exclusions, objections) | 1-833-656-1878 | 33-CV-2025-900072.00 |
| High 5 Games Washington verdict and settlement | JND Legal Administration | high5lawsuit.com | 4 January 2027 per the administrator site (FLAGGED: amending order not retrieved) | 1-888-663-1726 | 3:18-cv-05275 |
The firms that have administered a gambling settlement
Five US firms, one Australian law firm and one firm by succession account for every court-supervised gambling payout in the record.
JND, EisnerAmper, Angeion, A.B. Data, Epiq: the US firms with a gambling matter on record
JND Legal Administration (Seattle) has run the most gambling matters, 3, from DoubleDown and Zynga to High 5 and the Wynn securities settlement. EisnerAmper (formerly Postlethwaite & Netterville, Baton Rouge) runs SciPlay, Pulsz and Playstudios.
Angeion ran Big Fish and Huuuge, A.B. Data the DraftKings NFT settlement, and Epiq the MGM data breach settlement per a settlement aggregator; the administrator site could not be read.
Kroll and Heffler: the most-searched name has no gambling settlement of its own
Kroll Settlement Administration, the most-searched name in this field, has no gambling settlement of its own in the record: it was the notice administrator of high5lawsuit.com until the 14 August 2026 order moved the site to JND.
It inherited the Playtika matter when Heffler Claims Group was folded into Kroll Business Services in April 2021. The unit's legal name and address are not confirmed in a public document.
Maurice Blackburn: how Australian class settlements are paid
In Australia the court appoints the plaintiff law firm as Scheme Administrator: Maurice Blackburn Pty Ltd under Zantran v Crown [2022] FCA 500 (para. 2) and Lieberman v Crown [2025] VSC 596 (para. 32(c)).
Group members are paid by EFT to an Australian bank account, with a minimum distribution of AUD 20. Lieberman's AUD 72.5 million arrives in three installments to 10 May 2027, after a 27.5 percent group costs order.
Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom: no administrator at all
German and Austrian refund claims have no administrator, no claim form and no deadline other than limitation: each is an individual judgment, enforced against the operator or financed by a Prozessfinanzierer that keeps 32 to 47 percent of the recovery (funder figures).
The UK has no court-administered gambling class settlement; Football Index administrators distributed a GBP 4.5 million player-protection account at about 20p in the pound (a court estimate as reported). German readers start with Online Casino Geld zurück: was die Gerichte entschieden haben.

How and when a gambling settlement pays
In the five completed US gambling settlements since 2021, first payments arrived 279 to 344 days after preliminary approval: 91 to 147 days from preliminary approval to the claim deadline, then 69 to 196 days from final approval to money.
Attorney fees come off first: 25 percent in the four 2021 to 2022 Washington settlements, 29.3 percent in DoubleDown, up to 30 percent requested in Pulsz and MGM.
Costs, administration and incentive awards follow, and the net fund is shared pro rata, so no payout estimate exists before claims are counted; see how long gambling lawsuits and settlements take.
How to verify a notice, email or check in five steps
Every check runs against the court record, not against the message you received.
- The case number matches the docket: 33-CV-2025-900072.00 (Pulsz), 3:18-cv-05275 (High 5), 2:18-cv-00525 (DoubleDown), 1:23-cv-10524 (DraftKings NFT), 2:20-cv-00376 (MGM).
- The administrator in the order matches the site footer and box: Seattle 98111 (JND), Baton Rouge 70821 (EisnerAmper), Milwaukee 53217 (A.B. Data), 1650 Arch Street Philadelphia (Angeion).
- The hotline comes from the notice, not the message: 1-888-663-1726 (High 5), 1-833-656-1878 (Pulsz), 833-853-6181 (SciPlay), 1-844-586-2442 (Playstudios), (877) 883-9186 (DraftKings NFT).
- The "only authorized website" line names the URL in the court-approved notice.
- Nothing asks for a fee, crypto, gift cards or an "activation": filing a claim is free.

A Class Member ID is the personal number printed on your notice, and how to file a claim in a gambling settlement shows where it goes.
Firms you may hear from that have no gambling case on record
Six large administrators have no gambling settlement in the record and no page here, but a reader holding their notice can check who they are. The FTC uses Epiq, Rust, Analytics, JND and Simpluris for its refund programs, so an FTC order against a sweepstakes operator would pay through one of them.
| Firm | Former or legal name | City | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simpluris | Simpluris Inc | Costa Mesa CA | (800) 779-2104 |
| Verita Global | KCC, Gilardi, RicePoint | Not confirmed | +1 (866) 381-9100 |
| Rust Consulting | Rust Consulting, Inc. | Minneapolis | (612) 359-2000 |
| Analytics Consulting | Analytics Consulting LLC | Chanhassen MN | 952.404.5700 |
| Atticus Administration | Atticus Administration, LLC | St. Paul MN | 1-844-728-8428 |

Questions people ask
Is the settlement website I was sent real?
Only two gambling claim sites are live as of 14 November 2026, ysisettlement.com and high5lawsuit.com, and any other gambling "claim site" asking for money or a wallet is not court-approved. The checker compares a URL against the administrator and docket on record: check a gambling claim site.
Is Kroll Settlement Administration legitimate?
Kroll is a real administration firm, a unit of Kroll, LLC, and a Kroll notice in a gambling matter today could only concern the Playtika matter it inherited. The full check sits on the Kroll Settlement Administration page.
Who gets paid first in a settlement?
Attorney fees, costs, administration and incentive awards are deducted first, then the net fund is shared pro rata among valid claimants, which is why checks arrive months after final approval. The measured order is on how long gambling lawsuits and settlements take.
What this page does not cover
This page covers gambling settlements only: the AT&T, Cash App, PayPal and Capital One administrators in search results are not listed, and no administrator is rated or recommended. Paid and unpaid gambling settlements are listed under gambling settlements by year and amount.
