ONE-TIME payments are available to Americans who have played certain mobile casino games under a $415 million settlement.

DoubleDown Interactive has agreed to resolve claims that its games violated Washington’s gambling laws by allegedly using illegal schemes, according to a settlement.

DoubleDown would first give some free chips - then would force its players to purchase additional chips to keep playing, according to the complaint.

Now, eligible players of the game are entitled to recover the illegal profits.

“Defendants’ online casino games have thrived, and thousands of consumers have spent millions of dollars unwittingly playing Defendants’ unlawful games of chance,” the details of the settlement read.

DoubleDown has not admitted to any wrongdoing but has agreed to the settlement and to change some ways the game is played like allowing people to play without purchasing in-game currency.
