Tinder must pay $60.5 million in class-action settlement. Are you eligible?

If you purchased a Tinder subscription in California around 10 years ago, you might be eligible for settlement money.

In 2015, Tinder user Allan Candelore sued the dating app, claiming that it charged older users more than younger users for the premium subscriptions Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. The complaint alleged that Tinder violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and Unfair Competition Law.

Tinder denies any wrongdoing or violation of the law. But now, over ten years later, Tinder has agreed to settle Candelore v. Tinder, Inc. and pay eligible users $60.5 million in the class-action settlement.

Here's who is eligible for this money, according to the class action notice: Purchasers of Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California at any time on or after March 2, 2015, who were over the age of 29. Or, purchasers of Plus or Gold in California at any time after March 2, 2016, who were over the age of 28. Those who paid more for the subscriptions will get a bigger payout.

The deadline to opt out of the settlement or object to it is April 8, and the deadline to choose a payment method is August 18. In the meantime, the final approval hearing will be on May 20.

According to ClassAction.org, around 268,000 California Tinder users are covered by the settlement. You can learn more about the settlement and whether you're entitled to money at the settlement website.
