Frequently Asked Questions

A Court authorized a 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. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.

Judge Brian P. Hamilton of the Circuit Court in Franklin County, Alabama is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known as Robinson v. Yellow Social Interactive, LTD. The people who sued, Leshaun Robinson, Luke Whitney, Carissa Pyles, Thomas Veil, Sharon King, and Steven Davis, are the “Class Representatives.” The company that got sued is Yellow Social Interactive Limited (“YSI”), and agrees to settle the lawsuit.

In a class action, one or more people called class representatives sue on behalf of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who choose to exclude themselves from the class.

The lawsuit claims that YSI violated Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, and Massachusetts state gambling laws through the sale of virtual chips in the following social casino-style games: Pulsz (www.pulsz.com) and Pulszbingo (www.pulszbingo.com) (collectively “Applications”). YSI denies all claims and that it violated any law.

The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiffs or the Defendant should win this case. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation, and Settlement Class Members will get compensation now rather than years from now, if at all.

More information about the Settlement and the lawsuit are available to Class Members on the settlement website, or by accessing the Court docket in this case, through the Court’s electronic filing system at https://alacourt.com, or by visiting the office of the Clerk of the Court for the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays.

The Court decided that everyone who fits this description and chooses not to request to be excluded is a member of the Settlement Class: All persons who spent money to play on the Applications in the following States in the following time periods:

Alabama: any Application from March 8, 2022, through August 31, 2026.

Ohio: any Application from February 19, 2024, through August 31, 2026.

New Jersey: any Application from February 19, 2024, through August 31, 2026.

Massachusetts: any Application from February 19, 2024, through August 31, 2026.

Tennessee: any Application from November 12, 2022, through August 31, 2026.

Kentucky: any Application from June 29, 2023, through August 31, 2026.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) any Judge or Magistrate presiding over this action and members of their families, (2) the Defendant, Defendant’s subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the defendant or their parents have 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 are not sure whether you are included, you can call the Settlement Administrator at 1-833-656-1878. Or you can get free help by calling the lawyers appointed to represent class members in this case at 1-800-667-6759.

If approved by the Court, YSI will provide twenty seven percent (27%) of the amount you have spent in the Applications in the foregoing States during the foregoing time periods less Administrative Expenses, Attorneys’ Fee Award, and Incentive Award in virtual currency of the game. Virtual currency will be provided at the rate of 10,000 Gold Coins per US Dollar. Settlement Class Members also have the option, but not the obligation, to file an Election Form to elect to receive twenty three percent (23%) of the amount spent in the Applications in the foregoing States during the foregoing time periods less Administrative Expenses, Attorneys’ Fee Award, and Incentive Award in money transfer rather than virtual currency. The amount paid for a valid and Approved Election may be affected by the number of elections made as the total amount of elections for money payment are subject to an aggregate cap of 25% of the Estimated Total Benefit. In the event an election for money payment is reduced as a result of the cap, such reduction will be provided for in virtual currency as described above.

If you file an Election Form, you should receive a check or electronic payment from the Settlement Administrator within 60 days 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 December 31, 2026. 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 you do not file an Election Form, you will receive virtual coins in instalments over either two years or five years, depending on the amount of virtual coins to which you are entitled.

No, in order to get the virtual currency benefit, you do not have to file an Election.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you want to receive a payment instead of virtual currency (‘Gold Coins’), you must submit a valid and timely Election Form no later than November 30, 2026. You may request an election form or submit one online here.

If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue YSI for the claims being resolved by this Settlement. The specific claims you are giving up are described in the Settlement Agreement. You will be “releasing” YSI and certain related parties (collectively, the “Released Parties”), described in the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself (see Question 14), you are releasing the claims, regardless of whether you submit an election or not. The Settlement Agreement is available to Class Members through 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 1-800-667-6759, or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about what this means.

If you do nothing, you will receive your benefits of virtual coins under the settlement, and you will release YSI for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

The Court has appointed lawyers from Davis & Norris, LLP and Bedford, Rogers, & Bowling, P.C. These attorneys are called “Class Counsel.” You will not be charged for the lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense. The Plaintiffs in the case who are Settlement Class Members from each of the States have asked the Court to appoint them as “Class Representatives.”

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 Class Counsel have agreed to limit the amount of fees that they will seek in this action to no more than 30% of the settlement amount. The Court may award less than this amount.

Subject to approval by the Court, each Class Representative may be paid an “Incentive Award” from the Settlement Fund for helping to bring and settle this case. No Class Representative will ask for more than $10,000 as an incentive award.

You may choose to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class by sending a letter to the settlement administrator no later than November 30, 2026 . If you exclude yourself, you will not receive any settlement benefits, but you keep any rights you may have to sue Defendant over the claims in the lawsuit. To exclude yourself from the settlement, you must email, mail, or otherwise deliver a letter (or request for exclusion) stating that you want to be excluded from the “Robinson v. Yellow Social Interactive, LTD, Case No. 33-CV-2025-900072.00” case. Your letter or request for exclusion must include your (a) name (b) telephone number (c) U.S. Mail address, (d) email address, (e) Player IDs or UserIDs and email addresses associated with Pulsz or Pulszbingo, and (f) your individual ink-signed signature. You must email or mail your exclusion request no later than November 30, 2026, to:

No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue the Defendant for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

No. If you exclude yourself, you should not submit an Election Form to ask for benefits because you won’t receive any.

You can ask the Court to deny approval by filing an objection. You can’t ask the Court to order a different settlement; the Court can only approve or reject the settlement being proposed. If the Court denies approval, no settlement benefits will be sent out and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, and you want to do something to advocate that, you must object.

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 Customer IDs or User IDs; (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. All written objections must be emailed or otherwise delivered to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel, and filed with the Court before November 30, 2026.

Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on the website available to Class Members its request for attorneys’ fees by November 16, 2026.

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.

The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on December 31, 2026 at 10:00 AM in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, 410 N. Jackson Avenue, Russellville, Alabama 35653. At that hearing, the Court will: hear any objections to the fairness of the settlement; determine the fairness of the settlement; consider Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs; and decide whether to approve incentive awards to the Class Representatives of up to $10,000 each from the Settlement. The Court may award less than these amounts. Class Counsel will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount to be determined and awarded by the Court.

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you filed and mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay another lawyer to attend as described elsewhere herein, but it’s not required.

Yes. You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must include in your letter or brief objecting to the settlement a statement saying that it is your “Notice of Intent to Appear in Robinson v. Yellow Social Interactive, LTD, Case No. 33-CV-2025-900072.00.” As described in Question 17 more fully, it must include your name, address, telephone number and signature as well as the name and address of your lawyer, if one is appearing for you. Your objection and notice of intent to appear must be filed with the Court and sent no later than November 30, 2026.
