Your child made charges to your credit card without your knowledge between January 2017 and November 2018. You were charged in-game currency for items you didn’t want between January 2017 and September 2022. You are eligible for a refund if any of these statements are true: Regulators said they have started notifying more than 37 million people who may be eligible for compensation as part of the legal settlement that was finalized in March. Epic Games also agreed to pay a $275 million fine to settle allegations that it had collected personal information on Fortnite players under the age of 13 without the consent of an adult. The settlement consists of $245 million in customer refunds that are intended to cover the costs of unwanted in-game items like outfits, emotes, or V-Bucks - the game's virtual currency. The Federal Trade Commission announced last year that Fortnite maker Epic Games would pay $520 million in penalties and refunds to settle complaints about player privacy and the game's payment method, which allegedly tricked players into making unintended purchases.
Parents of kids who bought things on the popular 'Fortnite' video game may soon be able to claim a refund.
