GameStop settlement update: Who can get paid now? – Fingerlakes1.com

GameStop customers may be eligible for a payout or store credit through a $4.5 million class action settlement stemming from alleged privacy violations involving Facebook.
The settlement resolves claims that GameStop improperly disclosed customer data—specifically, video game purchase information—to Facebook via the Facebook Tracking Pixel without proper consent. The plaintiffs allege this violates the Video Privacy Protection Act.

Consumers can also opt out of or object to the settlement.
Claimants must submit all claims by August 15, 2025, when the court will also hold the final approval hearing. If the court approves the settlement and no appeals delay the process, the settlement administrators will distribute payments or vouchers within 45 days of that approval.
If you selected the cash option, the settlement administrators will send your payment through your chosen method—Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo. If you opted for store credit, they will deposit vouchers into your GameStop account or issue them once you create one. These vouchers will expire one year after issuance.
