Amazon settled $201 million deal

Amazon settled a deal worth $201 million regarding social casino applications.

The settlement is part of a class-action lawsuit filed in 2023 in the state of Washington, alleging that Amazon violated gambling and consumer protection laws.

Under the terms of the settlement, U.S. consumers may seek up to $200 million from third‑party developers of social casino apps, and Amazon will not pay this amount with its own funds.

The settlement has not yet been approved by the court; Amazon awaits the judge’s decision and denies any wrongdoing.

The plaintiffs who initiated the lawsuit previously recovered over $650 million for affected consumers in similar cases.
