The deal covers all individuals who, between March 11, 2022 and November 7, 2023, were accountholders and/or digital newsletter subscribers to a Daily Wire website, including DailyWire.com, in the United States and accessed a video through one of the sites while a pixel—a tracking code used for website analytics—was operational.

According to the official Daily Wire class action settlement website, eligible class members who file a timely, valid claim form are entitled to receive a cash payment of up to $15. Individual settlement payout amounts may be reduced on a pro rata basis depending on the total number of valid claims that are submitted, the site notes.

To receive a Daily Wire settlement payment, consumers must file a claim form online or by mail by September 8, 2025.

To file a claim form, you will need your unique notice ID, which can be located in the personalized settlement notice you may have received in the mail or via email. Online submission also requires a confirmation code that is included in the notice.

The settlement agreement received preliminary approval from the court in late March 2025. The parties now await a hearing on October 22, 2025, at which time the court will determine whether to grant final approval to the terms of the deal.

Daily Wire settlement payouts will be issued to eligible class members only if the deal receives ultimate court approval, and after any appeals are resolved, the website explains.
