Connecticut's 2025 High 5 settlement established a $643,424.30 restitution process for 794 identified users and kept High 5 Casino withdrawn from the state.
Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection announced a High 5 settlement on May 29, 2025, built around restitution for 794 identified High 5 Casino users.
The settlement agreement, approved on May 22, required High 5 Entertainment to arrange $643,424.30 in payments. The eligible group consisted of identified Connecticut users whose purchases exceeded their sweepstakes redemptions, with restitution based on that difference. A third-party administrator was to handle the payments under the agreement's staged process.
The overall settlement totaled roughly $1.44 million. Beyond restitution, it included about $294,174 in disgorgement and $500,000 for DCP.
The deal kept High 5 Casino withdrawn from Connecticut and required location controls aimed at people in the state, including users masking their location through a VPN or proxy. High 5 Entertainment could not reintroduce sweepstakes games for users physically in Connecticut without a license or DCP acknowledgment.
Separately, High 5 Games' supplier license was reinstated effective May 22, with restrictions on supplying games to sweepstakes operators serving people physically in Connecticut. That supplier status did not authorize High 5 Casino to operate in the state.
The agreement resolved DCP's allegations without a finding or admission of liability.
