• Filed for a Fortnite refund and still waiting? You’re not alone. Here’s the scoop—no fluff, just facts, real talk, and one weird tip that might help you get your money.

 What’s Going On?

Let’s rewind. Back in 2022, Epic Games got hit hard—$245 million worth of refunds hard—after the FTC called them out for tricky purchases and hard-to-find cancel buttons in Fortnite.

If you bought stuff between:

January 2017 – September 2022
 And filed a claim before February 29, 2024

You might be owed real money. Like actual, usable, spend-on-snacks money.

 Where’s My Refund?

Last week, my neighbor’s kid (he’s 13 and deadly with a sniper in Zero Build) asked me: “Bro, where’s my Fortnite money?”

He’d been checking every day like he was tracking a Domino’s order.

Here’s what’s happening:

•  Refunds started March 2024

•  They’re being sent out in waves

•  Refunds go via PayPal, check, or Epic Wallet

•  Some players are still waiting, even in June 2025

🔍 How to Check Your Fortnite Refund Status

Here’s the chill way to check it out:

1. Go to  ftc.gov/Fortnite

2. Click “Check Your Refund Status”

3. Enter your Claim Number

4. Do a little prayer emoji and hit Enter

No claim number?

• Search your email for “Fortnite Refund”

• Don’t forget the spam/junk folder 

 Weird But Smart Tip

 If you used your mom’s/dad’s card, guess what?
The refund probably went to them.

 Ask them if they got a PayPal credit, check, or anything from the FTC.

Also:

• If your PayPal email changed, or

• You moved and missed the check,
  Contact FTC Refund Help and explain the sitch.

 Quick Recap: Why This Even Happened

• Epic was using “dark patterns” (sneaky designs)

• Kids bought stuff without meaning to

• Refunds were near impossible to get

• FTC stepped in, sued, won, and boom: refund time

 What You Should Do Now

Still no refund? Here’s your action plan:

 Final Words

Let’s be honest—Fortnite made it too easy to buy junk. If you filed for a refund, your cash is either on the way… or hiding with your mom’s PayPal.

Don’t wait too long though. This refund train? Not sticking around forever.

• Refunds = legit

• If you claimed before Feb 29, 2024 = you’re eligible

• Still waiting? Check ftc.gov/Fortnite

• If your money’s missing, contact the FTC and don’t panic
