What you can search
Every case on record, published or not: case title, short name, aliases people search for, defendant names, court, country, state, category and status. Results link to the case page where one is published.
207 gambling court cases from 23 jurisdictions are searchable here as of 14 November 2026, by case name, operator, court, state, category or status, whether or not the case page is published yet.
Three settlements accept claims as of 14 November 2026: the Pulsz six-state settlement, the High 5 Washington settlement and the New York Attorney General's VGW redemption window.
Each carries its status word in the results and a payout estimate with its formula on its case page. Filing a claim in any settlement is free; we are not a law firm and not an administrator.
What is in the record, and what is not
Every court case whose subject is gambling belongs in the record: the product, the operator's conduct, players' money, licensing and regulation, gambling taxes, criminal cases against operators and organizers, integrity cases, antitrust, securities, advertising, industry disputes and lottery disputes, plus attorney-general settlements with a consumer payout or claim deadline.
The record sorts them into 19 categories, and the three largest are licensing and administrative (59), player refund litigation (25) and regulators and attorneys general (23).
Four kinds of matter stay outside, listed in the table below. The record is organized by category under all gambling lawsuits by category, and the search covers all of it.
| In the record | Outside the border |
|---|---|
| Product and operator-conduct suits, refund claims, class actions | A gambling company as a party on an unrelated matter |
| Regulator and attorney-general court cases, licensing, tax | Crimes by individual players |
| Criminal cases against operators and organizers, integrity cases | Regulator fines that never reached a court or a consumer payout |
| Antitrust, securities, advertising, industry and lottery disputes | How-to-gamble content and operator reviews |
Counts are regenerated from the case records at every build; the European Union line is the Court of Justice.
How to search: operator, case name, court, state or alias
Type at least two characters: the search matches the case title, the short name, the aliases people use, the defendants, the court, the country, the state, the category and the status word, and ranks title matches above alias matches above defendant matches. A result list stops at 200 records, shown as "200+".
| What you type | What it matches | Example result |
|---|---|---|
| Operator or brand: "pulsz" | Every record naming the brand, 1 in all | Pulsz six-state settlement, GL-US-0202 |
| Alias: "ysisettlement.com" or "pilati" | The settlement site and a named plaintiff, kept as aliases | The same record, GL-US-0202; "pulsz 23% cash back" is an alias too |
| Court: "Franklin County" | Records whose court is the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama | GL-US-0202, GL-US-0029 (SciPlay six-state settlement), GL-US-0032 (Playstudios six-state settlement) |
| Docket or citation: "I ZR 216/25" | The citation as written, in German for German courts | BGH Leitentscheidung, GL-DE-0004 |
| Filters only: country, status, category | Up to 200 records with no text typed | The first 200 of the chosen slice |
| Several words: "pulsz alabama" | Every word must match somewhere in the record | Narrower results than either word alone |
Company hubs collect every case against one brand, and they are the better start when a brand is the whole question: see gambling lawsuits by company.
Reading a result: status words and the as-of date
Every result carries one of 13 status words and, on its case page, the date that status was read from the record, because a complaint states one side's allegations and only the court's orders decide anything.
| Status word | What it means | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Filed, pending | A complaint is on file and nothing has been decided | 8 |
| Motion to dismiss pending | The defendant has asked the court to end the case | 4 |
| Class certified | A court has allowed the case to proceed for a whole class | 0 |
| Settlement preliminarily approved | A court has approved the terms for notice; payment is not yet ordered | 0 |
| Settlement finally approved | Terms are approved; no new claims unless a deadline is still ahead | 4 |
| Claims open | The record shows a live claim or redemption window, for example High 5 Games Washington settlement and New York Attorney General VGW redemption; the count includes one Malta liquidation | 5 |
| Claims closed | The claim deadline has passed | 3 |
| Payments made | Checks or transfers went out on the date shown | 1 |
| Judgment entered | A court has decided the matter | 138 |
| Dismissed | The case ended without a decision on the merits | 31 |
| On appeal | A higher court is reviewing the ruling | 9 |
| Stayed | The case is paused, often for arbitration or a related ruling | 2 |
| Withdrawn | The claimant ended the case | 2 |
198 of the statuses come straight from an order, a docket entry or a filed complaint. The rest come from court press releases, regulator filings and law-firm trackers, flagged per record. The steps the words describe are laid out in how a gambling class action works, step by step.
Searching for a settlement you can still claim
Only three gambling settlements accept claims as of 14 November 2026, and the status filter "Claims open" returns them: the Pulsz six-state settlement, the High 5 Games Washington settlement and the New York Attorney General's VGW redemption window, which is an administrative settlement, not a court case.
The High 5 deadline of 4 January 2027 is given per the settlement site, and a Malta liquidation also carries the word but is not a consumer settlement.
"Settlement finally approved" and "Claims closed" mean no new claims. Deadlines, administrators and payout estimates with their formulas sit on the case pages and in open gambling class action settlements by deadline; this page never hosts a form.
Case not found: what that means
A case that does not appear is a case not in our record as of the build date, not proof that no case exists.
The record grows one completeness pass per jurisdiction at a time, and 0 records were filed since 15 September 2026, so a suit filed this month may not be in yet; see new gambling lawsuits filed this month. To report a missing case, use the corrections page with the case name, court and docket number.
How this search is built
The search runs in the browser over a compact index rebuilt from the case records at every build, stores nothing and sends nothing. Results without a published page show "(page not yet published)" and link on their publication day. It is one of the lists and tools in trackers: open claims, deadlines and new filings.

Questions people ask
How do I look up a gambling class action settlement?
Search the operator or game name above and read the status word. Settlements that accept claims today, with deadline, administrator and payout estimate, are sorted in open gambling class action settlements by deadline.
Where do I find every lawsuit against one company?
Every company hub lists all cases against one brand and its legal entities, with what settled and whether a payout exists. Start from gambling lawsuits by company.
Is there a gambling lawsuit in my state?
Filter by country United States and type the state's name, or read the state's own page, which lists every case in its courts and before its regulators. The national page is gambling lawsuits in the United States; 16 states have at least one case on record.
Does the search cover the German and Austrian refund cases?
Yes: 25 refund records are searchable, and citations stay in German, so "I ZR 216/25" or "6 Ob 229/21a" finds the case. First-instance judgments appear through the appellate line, not one by one; see online casino refund litigation in Germany and Austria.
What this page does not cover
Unclaimed-funds locators of the federal courts, cross-industry class action lists, operator reviews and how-to-gamble questions are outside this record.
Sources and method
Of the 207 records behind this search, 198 carry a status read directly from an order, docket or filed complaint; the rest rest on court press releases, regulator filings and the two law-firm trackers, each flagged in its record.
