Apple Handing Out Store Credits to People Improperly Charged for Games

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- If your children were improperly charged for playing games on their mobile Apple devices, an iTunes store credit may be coming your way.

Apple has agreed to hand out more than 100 million dollars in iTunes store credits to settle a lawsuit.

The suit alleges Apple improperly charged kids by not creating adequate parental controls to prevent children from buying extra features while playing free games on iPads and iPhones in 2010 and 2011.

Apple has agreed to award a five dollar iTunes credit to each of the estimated 23 million account holders affected.

A hearing on the proposed settlement is set for Friday.
