On the Claim Form you will need to describe how you have been damaged or harmed by your real money purchase(s) (or, if you are seeking a refund of a virtual currency purchase, the damage or harm that resulted from or related to your use or attempted use of that virtual currency in the game) and why that damage or harm entitles you to a benefit. If you used real money to purchase virtual currency or any other in-game item within Fortnite or Rocket League**, or if you acquired an in-game item using virtual currency that you purchased with real money, then you may submit a Claim Form if you believe that the purchase or the in-game item gives rise to a claim of consumer fraud, breach of contract, or other claim for damages. You do not need to submit a Claim Form to receive this benefit.

Submit a Claim As part of this Settlement, Epic Games will automatically add 1,000 Fortnite V-Bucks to each Fortnite account that was used to acquire a random item “Loot Llama” loot box, and 1,000 Rocket League Credits to each Rocket League account that was used to acquire a random item “Crate” loot box, the contents of which were not known before opening. What are my options?If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your rights are affected if you participate in the Settlement or not. If you did not reside in the United States or its territories at the time of the Class Period, you are not eligible to participate in this Settlement. Who is in the Settlement Class?You are a member of the Settlement Class if, at any time between Jand February 25, 2021, you resided in the United States, you had a Fortnite or Rocket League account that you used to play either game on any device and in any mode, and (a) exchanged in-game virtual currency for any in-game benefit, or (b) made a purchase of virtual currency or other in-game benefit for use within Fortnite or Rocket League**.** This is a United States based action. If the Court does not give final approval to the Settlement, or if it is terminated by the Parties, the Settlement will be void, and the lawsuit will proceed as if there had been no settlement and no certification of the Settlement Class. The Court has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for settlement purposes only, so that Settlement Class Members have notice and the opportunity to exclude themselves from the Settlement Class, to voice their support or opposition to final approval of the Settlement, and to have the opportunity to obtain the additional benefits offered by the Settlement. Nevertheless, because the Settlement of a class action determines the rights of all members of the Class, the court overseeing these lawsuits must give final approval to the Settlement before it can be effective. The Court has already preliminarily approved the Settlement. Epic Games denies each and every allegation of wrongdoing and liability in the Action. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Epic Games and does not imply that there has been, or would be, any finding that Epic Games violated any law. This Settlement resolves all claims asserted in the case against Epic Games and its affiliated entities. Why is there a settlement?The Plaintiffs and Epic Games have determined that it is in their best interests to settle this case to avoid the expenses and uncertainties associated with litigation.

All of these people together are a “Settlement Class” or “Settlement Class Members.” The Settlement, if finally approved by the Court, resolves the issues for all Settlement Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. Why is this a class action?A class action is a lawsuit in which one or more persons called a “Class Representative” sues on behalf of people who have similar claims. The Plaintiffs’ Complaint, the Settlement Agreement, and other case-related documents are available on the Documents page. Epic Games denies each and every allegation of wrongdoing, liability, and damages asserted in the Action, and Epic Games denies that the claims in the Action would be appropriate for class treatment if the litigation were to proceed through trial. What is this lawsuit about?The lawsuit alleges that Epic Games violated state consumer protection laws, prevented minors from exercising their contractual disaffirmation rights, and negligently misrepresented the value of its in-game items in connection with its Fortnite and Rocket League video games.
