Tinder age pricing settlement, closed August 18, 2026, approved, when the $60.5 million pays
Last checked July 12, 2026
Tinder agreed to a $60.5 million non-reversionary settlement in Candelore v. Tinder over charging California users over 28 or 29 roughly double for Tinder Plus and Gold. The Superior Court of California granted final approval. About 268,000 class members are covered, with payouts calculated in advance for those who got direct notice. Members had to pick a payment method, or file a verification form if they got no notice, by August 18, 2026.
That election window closed August 18, 2026.
Where it stands
Final approval has been granted; our source does not give the date. Elections closed August 18, 2026. Payments have not been reported as sent.
When checks usually go out
Payment follows court approval, a roughly 30-day appeal window, and a claim review that screens for duplicates and fraud. Administrators describe this as several months, and the notice on the administrator site is the reliable signal that it has begun. Approval is already done here, so this one sits closer to payment than most.
How much it pays
70 percent of the net fund is split equally among participants and 30 percent is allocated by each person's total Tinder payments, so heavier spenders get more.
If you filed
Hold onto your claim confirmation, and if you move or change banks before checks go out, update your details on the administrator site. Messages promising an early payout for a fee are scams; the only money here comes from the fund, at no cost to you. To catch the next open settlement in time, the Payout app keeps a running list, and filing direct with the administrator stays free.
