UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON
If you purchased virtual coins in the High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas
social casino applications while in Washington, you may be able
to receive a payment from a class action settlement.
A Federal Court authorized this notice. You are not being sued.
This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
• A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against PTT, LLC (d/b/a High 5 Games,
LLC) and High 5 Entertainment, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiff alleges that in-app
purchases of virtual coins in Defendants’ social casino applications, High 5 Casino and High 5
Vegas, violated Washington law. Defendants deny all claims and that they violated any law but
have agreed to the settlement to avoid the costs and risks of continued litigation.
• You are a Settlement Class Member if you are an individual who played or purchased virtual
coins on either High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas in Washington or associated with purchases in
Washington as reasonably determined by billing address information, IP address information, or
other information furnished by Platform Providers after April 9, 2014 and before October 1, 2022
(the “Class Period”) and you do not timely exclude yourself.
• Those who purchased virtual coins and file timely and properly completed Claim Forms by
November 13, 2026, will be eligible to receive a share of the Settlement Fund. You can choose
to receive payment electronically or by check. Your share will depend on, among other things,
(1) the total dollar amount of in-app purchases you made during the Class Period in High 5 Casino
or High 5 Vegas; (2) how many Settlement Class Members submit valid claims; and (3) the total
amount Defendants pay into the Settlement Fund over the multi-year payment period, which will
depend on the amount , if any, of Defendants’ contingent payments based on their net income and
the amount, if any, paid in the event of a liquidity event for Defendants during the multi-year
payment period. Payments may be made by electronic payment or check and may be distributed
in more than one round.
• Please read this notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or
do not act.

BASIC INFORMATION
1. Why was this Notice issued?
A Court authorized this Notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this
class action lawsuit and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final
approval to the Settlement. If you purchased virtual coins, you may be eligible to receive a cash payment
as part of the Settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.
Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright of the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known as Larsen v. PTT, LLC (d/b/a High
5 Games, LLC) and High 5 Entertainment, LLC, No. 3:18-cv-05275-TMC (W.D. Wash.). The
individual who sued, Rick Larsen, is the “Plaintiff.” The companies that were sued are PTT, LLC
(d/b/a High 5 Games, LLC) and High 5 Entertainment, LLC (collectively, “Defendants” or “High 5”).
2. What is a class action?
A class action is a lawsuit in which an individual called the “Class Representative” brings a single
lawsuit on behalf of other people who have similar legal claims. All of these people together are a
“Class” or “Class Members.” Once a class action Settlement is finally approved by the Court, it
resolves the issues for all Settlement Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from
the settlement class.
3. What is this lawsuit about?
The lawsuit alleges that Defendants violated Washington State’s gambling laws and Consumer
Protection Act through the operation of their social casino applications, High 5 Casino and High 5
Vegas, and the sale of virtual coins on those apps. These laws allow recovery of money lost on
gambling games. Defendants deny all claims and that they violated any law.
4. Why is there a settlement?
Following a jury trial in which the jury returned a verdict in Plaintiff’s favor, the Parties agreed to a
Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation
about the verdict, possible appeals, and Settlement Class Members will get compensation sooner.
More information about the Settlement and the lawsuit are available in the “Court Documents” section
of the settlement website, or by accessing the Court docket in this case, for a fee, through the Court’s
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system at https://ecf.wawd.uscourts.gov, or by
visiting the office of the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Western District
of Washington, Tacoma Courthouse, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding Court holidays.
THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS
5. What does the settlement provide?
If approved by the Court, Defendants have agreed to pay at least twelve million dollars ($12,000,000)
and up to thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) into a Settlement Fund over a multi-year payment
period. Because of their financial situation, Defendants will make an initial payment of four million
dollars ($4,000,000), and additional annual payments of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) for
up to eight years. In addition, Defendants may be required to make additional contingent payments
over the settlement payment period based on Defendants’ net annual income or in the event of a
liquidity event as provided in the Settlement Agreement.

The Settlement Fund will be used to pay valid claims submitted by Settlement Class Members who
purchased virtual coins, attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the Court, settlement administration
expenses, and any incentive award to the Class Representative approved by the Court.
Defendants have also agreed to maintain changes to High 5 Casino and High 5 Vegas, including
maintaining a voluntary self-exclusion policy, providing a method for players to restrict or prohibit
their ability to purchase virtual coins, suspend their account, or close their account entirely, and
ensuring that players who run out of virtual coins can continue to play at least one game without
purchasing more.
6. How much will my payment be?
If you are a Settlement Class Member who purchased virtual coins during the Class Period, you may
submit a Claim Form to receive a portion of the Settlement Fund. The exact amount of your payment
cannot be determined at this time, but in other similar social casino litigation, Class Members have
recovered substantial portions of the total amount they spent in the Applications. Your payment will
depend on, among other things, (1) the total dollar amount of in-app purchases you made during the
Class Period in High 5 Casino or High 5 Vegas, (2) how many Settlement Class Members submit
valid claims; and (3) the total amount Defendants pay into the Settlement Fund over the multi-year
payment period, which will depend on the amount, if any, of Defendants’ contingent payments based
on their net income each year and the amount, if any, paid due to a liquidity event for Defendants
during the multi-year payment period. Payments may be made by electronic payment or check and
may be distributed in more than one round over a multi-year payment period. If your share of the
available Settlement Fund is less than ten dollars ($10.00) at the time of a particular distribution, your
share will be held and added to any future distributions until the cumulative amount payable to you
equals or exceeds ten dollars ($10.00). If you would like more information about how Settlement
Payments are determined, visit www.High5Lawsuit.com.
7. When will I get my payment?
You may receive an initial check or electronic payment from the Settlement Administrator after the
Settlement has been finally approved and/or after any appeals process is complete. The hearing to
consider the final approval of the Settlement is scheduled for Monday, December 14, 2026 at
9:30 AM. Because the Settlement Fund is paid in installments over a multi-year period, payments
may be distributed in more than one round after the initial payment over a multi-year payment period.
If you select to receive your payment via check, please keep in mind that checks will expire and
become void 90 days after they are issued. If appropriate, funds remaining from uncashed checks or
electronic payments that cannot be processed, may be used for subsequent distribution to Settlement
Class Members and/or may be donated to the Legal Foundation of Washington.
WHO’S INCLUDED IN THE SETTLEMENT
8. How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class?

is a member of the Settlement Class:
All individuals in Washington who played or purchased virtual coins on either High 5 Casino or
High 5 Vegas after April 9, 2014 and before October 1, 2022, including persons as reasonably
determined by billing address information, IP address information, or other information furnished by
Platform Providers to be located in Washington or associated with purchases in Washington.

members of their families, (2) Defendants, Defendants’ subsidiaries, parent companies, successors,
predecessors, and any entity in which a Defendant or its parent has a controlling interest and their
current or former officers, directors, and employees, (3) persons who properly execute and file a
timely request for exclusion from the Settlement Class, and (4) the legal representatives, successors
or assigns of any such excluded persons.
If you received a notice of the Settlement or of the initial class certification order in the case via email
or in the mail, our records indicate that you are a class member and are included in the Settlement. If
you are not sure whether you are included, you can call the Settlement Administrator at 1-888-663-
1726. Or you can get free help by calling the lawyers appointed to represent class members in this
case at 1-800-984-9057.
HOW TO GET BENEFITS
9. How do I get a payment?
If you are a Settlement Class Member and you want to receive a payment, you must complete and
submit a valid Claim Form by November 13, 2026. If you received an email notice, it contained a
link to the online Claim Form, which is also available on this website here www.High5Lawsuit.com
and can be filled out and submitted online. The Claim Form lets you select to receive your payment
electronically or by check.
We encourage you to submit your claim electronically. Not only is it easier and more secure, but it is
completely free and takes only minutes!
REMAINING IN THE SETTLEMENT
10. What am I giving up if I stay in the Settlement Class?
If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue Defendants for the claims being
resolved by this Settlement. The specific claims you are giving up are described in the Settlement
Agreement in Section 1.26. You will be “releasing” Defendants and certain related parties
(collectively, the “Released Parties”), described in Section 1.27 of the Settlement Agreement. Unless
you exclude yourself (see Question 14), you are releasing the claims, regardless of whether you
submit a claim or not. Settlement Class Members are estopped from contending that virtual coins in
the Applications are “things of value” under Washington law. The Settlement Agreement is available
through the “court documents” link on the website.
The Settlement Agreement describes the released claims with specific descriptions, so read it
carefully. If you have any questions you can talk to the lawyers listed in Question 12 for free by
calling 1-800-984-9057, or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about
what this means.
11. What happens if I do nothing at all?
If you do nothing, you won’t get any monetary benefits from this Settlement. But, unless you exclude
yourself, you won’t be able to bring or participate in any other lawsuit against Defendants for the
claims being resolved by this Settlement.

THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU
12. Do I have a lawyer in the case?
Lawyers at the firms Edelson PC and Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC represent the Settlement Class.
Those lawyers—Todd Logan, Brandt Silverkorn, Amy B. Hausmann, and Lauren Blazing of Edelson
PC and Cecily C. Jordan of Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC—are called “Class Counsel.” They are
experienced in handling similar class action cases. More information about these lawyers, their law
firms, and their experience is available at www.edelson.com and https://www.tousley.com. They
believe, after conducting an extensive investigation, that the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable,
and in the best interests of the Settlement Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you
want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense.
13. How will the lawyers be paid?
Class Counsel attorneys’ fees and costs will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount to be
determined and awarded by the Court. The fee petition will seek no more than 35% of the Settlement
Fund, plus unreimbursed costs and expenses. The Court may award less than this amount.
Subject to approval by the Court, Plaintiff Rick Larsen may be paid an “Incentive Award” from the
Settlement Fund for helping to bring and settle this case. Plaintiff Larsen will not ask for more than
$15,000 as an incentive award. The Court may award less than the amounts requested.

16. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this settlement?
No. If you exclude yourself, you should not submit a Claim Form to ask for benefits because you
won’t receive any.
OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT
17. How do I object to the settlement?
If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you can object to the Settlement if you
don’t like any part of it. You can give reasons why you think the Court should deny approval by
filing an objection. To object, you must file a signed letter or brief with the Court stating that you
object to the Settlement in “Larsen v. PTT, LLC (d/b/a High 5 Games, LLC) and High 5
Entertainment, LLC, No. 3:18-cv-05275-TMC (W.D. Wash.)” no later than November 13, 2026.
Your objection must be e-filed or delivered to the Court at the following address:
U.S. District Court
Clerk’s Office
1717 Pacific Avenue
Tacoma, WA 98402-3200
Any objection to the proposed settlement must be in writing. If you file a timely written objection,
you may, but are not required to, appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through
your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for hiring and paying
that attorney. If you want to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing to object to the
Settlement, with or without a lawyer (explained below in answer to Question Number 21), you must
say so in your letter or brief. All written objections and supporting papers must include (i) any Player
ID(s); (ii) any email address(es) associated with the use of the Applications; (iii) current contact
telephone number, U.S. Mail address, and email address; (iv) the specific grounds for the objection;
(v) all documents or writings that the Settlement Class Member desires the Court to consider; (vi) the
name and contact information of any and all attorneys representing, advising, or in any way assisting
the objector in connection with the preparation or submission of the objection or who may profit from
the pursuit of the objection; and (vii) a statement indicating whether the objector intends to appear at
the Final Approval Hearing (either personally or through counsel, who must file an appearance or
seek pro hac vice admission). All written objections must be emailed or otherwise delivered to Class
Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel, and filed with the Court on or before November 13, 2026.
Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on this website its request for attorneys’ fees by
October 30, 2026.
18. What’s the difference between objecting and excluding myself from the settlement?
Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You
can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself from the Settlement Class is
telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you
have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you.
