How to Apply for Fortnite FTC Refund?
Players can apply for a Fortnite refund via the FTC through this link, but there are some things to be aware of. Firstly, you must be eligible and meet one of these statements:
- You were charged in-game currency for items you didn’t want between January 2017 and September 2022.
- Your child made charges to 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 about wrongful charges.
You must also be at least 18 years of age, though parents or guardians can submit a claim for anyone under that age. To submit a claim, you must also require a claim number or your Epic Account ID.
Claims are also only available for those in the United States, with players elsewhere in the world not able to submit a claim. Once successfully submitted, wait to receive payment, which comes via check or PayPal.
When is the Deadline for a Fortnite FTC Refund?
The deadline to submit a claim for a Fortnite refund via the FTC is July 9, 2025. The process has been open for a while now, giving players plenty of time to submit claims, but it will remain open for a little while longer.
Once the deadline closes, you will no longer be able to submit a claim, but it could still take a while to receive a payout if you file a claim before the deadline. According to the FTC website, further payouts are expected in 2026 once all claims have been reviewed and validated.
