Tinder Handing $60,500,000 To Users in Class Action Settlement Over Alleged Discrimination
Tinder will pay $60.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it overcharged older users for its subscription services.Summary
Tinder has agreed to a $60.5 million settlement in a class action lawsuit claiming it discriminated against users aged 29 and older by charging them higher prices for Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold subscriptions between March 2015 and March 2016. The lawsuit, brought by Allan Candelore on behalf of California consumers, alleged a violation of California’s Unruh Act. While Tinder denies any wrongdoing, the settlement will distribute funds to eligible users who purchased subscriptions during the specified period. A court initially denied Tinder’s attempt to force arbitration, leading to mediation and the eventual settlement agreement reached on September 10, 2025, pending court approval. The settlement amount reflects allegations that Tinder’s pricing structure unfairly penalized older users.
