1. Quebec class action — Match.com auto-renewal (settled). A Quebec class action alleged Match.com violated section 230(c) of Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act through negative option billing — giving consumers a free or discounted trial period and then automatically charging the regular price when it ended, which is illegal under Quebec consumer law. The Superior Court of Quebec authorized the class action for settlement purposes on November 1, 2017, with the settlement approval hearing in April 2018. As part of the settlement, Match.com agreed to stop the practice of offering discounted trials and then auto-charging Quebec consumers the regular price. Handled by LPC Avocats in Montreal.

2. BC class action — Tinder / Match Group age-based pricing (active, Canada-wide class). This is the big live one. Slater Vecchio LLP, a BC firm, filed suit in October 2021 against Tinder and its owners Match Group Inc. and Match Group LLC, alleging algorithmic manipulation of the Tinder app and age-based discrimination. The claim alleges that users under 30 were offered Tinder Gold at $19.99/month while users 30 or older were charged $39.99 for the same thing, in violation of Canadian consumer protection legislation. The BC Supreme Court certified the action on July 10, 2025, and the class covers all persons in Canada who purchased Tinder premium features while registered with an age of 29 or older between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2022. So if you ever paid for Tinder Gold as a person over 29 during that window, congratulations, you’re technically a litigant. It’s certified but not yet resolved — no settlement or judgment on the merits yet. Newswire.caSlater Vecchio LLP

For context, the parallel US case (Candelore v. Tinder in California) over the same pricing scheme settled for $60.5 million, with a final approval hearing scheduled for May 20, 2026 — that’s California residents only, but it’s the template the Canadian case is following. Top Class Actions

Worth flagging what doesn’t directly cover Canadians: the FTC action that Match Group settled for $14 million over fake love-interest ads, misleading guarantees, and cancellation obstacles is US-only, as are the 2024 Clarkson “addictive design” class action and the January 2026 data breach class action, which proposes a class of individuals residing in the United States — though if your data was in that breach, a Canadian mirror suit wouldn’t be shocking given the Slater Vecchio precedent.

If you want to dig for anything smaller or newer, the two tools are Quebec’s Registry of Class Actions (registredesactionscollectives.quebec) and the Canadian Bar Association’s national class action database — though the CBA one is voluntary submission, so even it isn’t complete. And standard disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer, so if this is about actually joining or filing something, Slater Vecchio has an intake form on their Tinder page.
