The FTC has reopened claims for Fortnite settlement refunds: here’s how you can submit one
Refund itself cannot arrive until next year for new candidates. 
The eligible Fortnite players who felt bamboo made unwanted purchases had a second chance to request a refund. The Federal Trade Commission reopened its requests to receive reimbursements from the $ 245 million settlement that epic games reached with the agency until July 9, after closing requests in February.
The agreement was announced in 2022 in the context of a broader $ 520 million settlement on confidentiality violations and alleged use of design stuff that dubbed players to accidentally buy items in the game. The first wave of 629,344 reimbursements was issued in December 2024, the FTC now announcing that it had sent 969,173 new pays on Wednesday and Thursday, reimbursements at nearly $ 200 million.
You can apply to receive a refund by visiting www.ftc.gov/fortnite. Specific details on eligibility are also available on the site, but the FTC indicates that you can submit a complaint if:
You were billed in the currency in the game for the articles you did not want between January 2017 and September 2022.
Your child paid your credit card without your knowledge between January 2017 and November 2018.
Your account was locked between January 2017 and September 2022 after you complained to your Credit Card Company for unjustified costs.
Applications are limited to Fortnite players in the United States who are aged 18 or over, if not, the FTC says that a parent must apply on your behalf. The FTC indicates that it expects additional payments to be sent in 2026 “after examining and validated all complaints.”
