Riverside Resort & Casino, Inc., No. 2026CV000097, in the Circuit Court for Columbia County, Wisconsin, and the settlement website opened for claims with a January 4, 2027 deadline.Riverside denies that it did anything wrong, and the court has not decided who is right.
Who Qualifies?
The court defined the class as all people residing in the United States who were sent notification that their private information was compromised because of the data incident Riverside discovered in or around July 2024. Riverside and its officers, directors and related companies, the lawyers for both sides, and the judge, the judge’s family and staff are excluded.How Much Can You Get?
Every class member can claim one year of CyEx Financial Shield Total credit monitoring, which includes $1 million of financial fraud insurance. On top of that, each class member picks one of two cash routes:- Alternative cash payment: an expected $75 for California residents and $50 for residents of all other states, with no receipts or explanation required.
- Documented losses and lost time: reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses from the incident between July 25, 2024 and January 4, 2027, such as identity theft or fraud losses, credit report or freeze fees, ID replacement and postage, plus up to three hours of lost time at $20 an hour. The two together are capped at $3,000 per person.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
Filing online requires the Login ID and PIN printed on the notice Riverside’s settlement administrator sent to class members; the online claim form will not open without them. The printable paper claim form asks for the Login ID only “if known,” but class membership is still checked against the list of people who were sent notice, so the notice is effectively the key to filing either way.The flat $50 or $75 payment and credit monitoring need no receipts or explanation. Claims for documented losses need proof such as bank statements or receipts; self-prepared notes can support other proof but are not enough alone. Lost time is claimed by selecting one, two or three hours on the form, with no receipts.
