Tinder Discrimination Settlement
Tinder Discrimination Settlement
The Tinder California settlement concerns qualifying Tinder Plus purchases affected by age-based pricing. The lawsuit alleges unlawful age discrimination; Tinder denies wrongdoing. The August 18, 2026 payment-selection and verification deadline has passed, but that was not a requirement for every identified class member to file a new claim.
Key facts
Tinder Discrimination agreed to a proposed class action settlement to resolve the claims in this lawsuit. The allegations have not been proven in court, and Tinder Discrimination has not admitted wrongdoing.
Who may qualify
If you purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California on or after March 2, 2015 when you were over age 29, or on or after March 2, 2016 when you were over age 28, you may be part of the class in this settlement.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you needed proof of purchase. The administrator used Tinder's records to identify class members and planned to attempt payment even if an identified member made no payment selection. People who were not identified had a separate verification process. A payment preference alone did not establish eligibility. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Verita Global is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made, sometimes offering a payment election such as a check, a digital payment or a virtual card.
