Dapper Labs $5 Million Privacy Settlement: Up to $5 for NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, Disney Pinnacle, UFC Strike, and La Liga Golazos Users

Settlement Fund: $5,000,000
Payout: Up to $5 per person — claim form required
Claim Deadline: April 15, 2026
If you ever had an account on NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, Disney Pinnacle, UFC Strike, or La Liga Golazos, a $5 million privacy settlement may owe you up to $5. It's not a lot, but it takes about two minutes to file and the claim form is simple.
The lawsuit says Dapper Labs — the company behind all five of these platforms — secretly shared your viewing data with companies like Meta (Facebook), Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Microsoft, X (Twitter), and Reddit through tracking pixels embedded on its websites, without ever asking your permission. That violates a federal privacy law called the Video Privacy Protection Act.
What Did Dapper Labs Do?
When you visited a Dapper Labs website and watched or purchased video content (like an NBA highlight or an NFL play), the site had invisible tracking code — called "pixels" — running in the background. These pixels belonged to companies like Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Microsoft Bing, X, and Reddit.Every time you viewed or bought a video, the pixels sent data about what you watched and information that could identify you personally to these third-party companies. Those companies then used that data to target advertising at you.
You were never asked for permission. You probably had no idea it was happening. That's the core of the lawsuit.
What Is the VPPA?
The Video Privacy Protection Act is a federal law from 1988 that makes it illegal for companies to share your video viewing history with third parties without your consent. It was originally written after a reporter obtained the video rental records of a Supreme Court nominee, and Congress decided that what you watch is private.Courts have since applied the VPPA to online video viewing. The law allows people to sue when companies share their video watching data without permission — which is what the plaintiffs allege Dapper Labs did through its tracking pixels.
Dapper Labs denies violating any law but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.
What Are These Platforms?
All five platforms are built by Dapper Labs and let users buy, sell, and collect officially licensed video highlights as digital collectibles (NFTs):NBA Top Shot (nbatopshot.com) — NBA basketball highlights. NFL All Day (nflallday.com) — NFL football highlights. Disney Pinnacle (disneypinnacle.com) — Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars collectible pins and videos. UFC Strike (ufcstrike.com) — UFC mixed martial arts moments. La Liga Golazos (laligagolazos.com) — Spanish soccer league highlights.
Each platform features short video clips of key plays or moments that users can purchase and trade. When you viewed or purchased these videos, the tracking pixels captured that activity.
Who Qualifies?
You qualify if you held an active account on any of the five Dapper Labs websites between June 15, 2020 and January 30, 2025. That's the class period. If you had an account on NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, Disney Pinnacle, UFC Strike, or La Liga Golazos during that time, you're in the class.What Do You Get?
Up to $5 per person. The total settlement fund is $5 million, but that amount also covers attorneys' fees (up to one-third of the fund minus admin costs), settlement administration expenses, and service awards of up to $5,000 each for the four class representatives.Your actual payment depends on how many people file valid claims. Payments will be made via Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo — your choice. Payments go out within 45 days after the settlement becomes final and any appeals are resolved.
You Must File a Claim
This settlement requires a claim form. If you do nothing, you get no money — and you still give up the right to sue Dapper Labs over these privacy claims. File online at the official setlement website. The deadline is April 15, 2026.File Your Claim
What Are NFTs?
NFT stands for "non-fungible token." In plain English, it's a digital item that you can own, buy, and sell — kind of like a trading card, except it exists online instead of in your hand. Each NFT is unique (or at least numbered), and ownership is recorded on a blockchain, which is essentially a public digital ledger that tracks who owns what.On Dapper Labs' platforms, the NFTs are short video clips. On NBA Top Shot, for example, you might own a 10-second clip of LeBron James dunking. You can watch it, trade it with other users, or sell it. Some of these clips sold for thousands of dollars during the NFT boom in 2021, though most have dropped significantly in value since then.
For this settlement, it doesn't matter whether you ever bought an NFT. If you simply had an active account on any of the five platforms and viewed videos, you qualify.
What Is a Blockchain?
A blockchain is a digital record-keeping system. Think of it like a spreadsheet that everyone can see but no one can secretly edit. When you buy an NFT on NBA Top Shot, that transaction is recorded on the blockchain, so there's a permanent, public record that you own it.Dapper Labs built its own blockchain called "Flow" specifically for these platforms. But none of this blockchain technology is relevant to the lawsuit — the case is about tracking pixels on websites, not anything related to the blockchain itself.
What Is a Tracking Pixel?
A tracking pixel is a tiny, invisible piece of code that a company places on its website. You can't see it — it's literally one pixel in size, or sometimes just a snippet of JavaScript code that runs in the background when you load a page.When you visit a page with a tracking pixel, it sends information about your visit back to the company that created the pixel. For example, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel tells Facebook that you visited a specific page. The Google Pixel tells Google. The TikTok Pixel tells TikTok. And so on.
On Dapper Labs' websites, these pixels didn't just report that you visited the site — they reported which specific videos you viewed or purchased. Combined with information that could identify you personally (like your account data or browser identifiers), this created a detailed log of your video viewing habits that was shared with these companies for advertising purposes.
The VPPA says companies can't share your video viewing information with third parties without your consent. That's what the lawsuit is about — not the NFTs, not the blockchain, just the pixels quietly sending your viewing data to Meta, Google, TikTok, and others without asking.
What Changes Is Dapper Labs Making?
Beyond the money, the settlement requires Dapper Labs to suspend operation of the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Google Pixel, Microsoft Bing Pixel, Snapchat Pixel, X (Twitter) Pixel, Reddit Pixel, and TikTok Pixel on any pages of its websites where the pixel would capture the title of a video purchased or viewed. This suspension stays in effect unless the VPPA is amended, repealed, or invalidated as it applies to website pixel technology, or unless Dapper Labs otherwise comes into compliance with the law.Important Dates
