SEATTLE — Online gamblers who bought virtual chips from two gaming companies are due for part of a $415 million settlement just approved in Washington federal court.
The settlement ends a class-action suit against DoubleDown Interactive and International Game Technology, the makers of four social casino games that plaintiffs said violated state gambling laws while taking in millions from users.
Those who’ve already files a claim prior to April 11 will be eligible for a settlement share, based on how they used the games and how many virtual chips they purchased. Shares will be disbursed electronically starting within 90 days.
