The Streamlabs settlement covers anyone in the United States who, between March 3, 2018 and May 17, 2022, was enrolled in a Streamlabs Pro automatic renewal subscription after adding a GIF or effect to their donation and was then billed a monthly charge for the subscription (after their first charge for their initial GIF or effect).

The official website for the deal can be found at StreamlabsClassActionSettlement.com.

Class members who submit a valid claim form online or by mail by March 31, 2025 will be eligible to receive a pro-rated refund for Streamlabs Pro subscription fees.

The Streamlabs Pro auto-renewal settlement was granted preliminary approval by the court in late August 2024. The court gave the settlement final approval on January 30, 2025.

Consumers who file a timely, valid Streamlabs settlement claim form will receive a pro-rated share of the net settlement fund, based on the number of monthly payments they made to the defendant between March 3, 2018 and May 17, 2022, less any amounts that Streamlabs may have already refunded.

According to the class action lawsuit against Streamlabs, the platform allows users to enhance donation alerts with GIFs or effects—such as hearts, stars, or confetti—when contributing money to their favorite streamers. The case alleged the defendant failed to adequately inform consumers that adding an effect to their contribution would sign them up for a Streamlabs Pro subscription and continuously charge them $5.99 per month until the plan was canceled.

“As a result, [consumers] unknowingly end up with recurring charges on their credit or debit cards from Streamlabs for months or even years, leaving them confused, angry, and stressed by the charges,” the complaint claimed.
