GameStop Settlement: When Will It Pay Out?

What is the GameStop Settlement about?

GameStop agreed to a $4.5 million settlement resolving claims it violated the Video Privacy Protection Act by sharing customers' video‑purchase data with Facebook via the Meta pixel. Claimants may choose up to $5 cash or a $10 GameStop.com voucher; no proof of purchase required. Eligibility, claim review, payment timing, and any payment amount are determined by the settlement administrator, court-approved terms, or applicable refund program. Payout does not administer the settlement, determine eligibility, or guarantee payment.
