The FTC complaint, brought under the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA), alleged that Match guaranteed certain consumers a free six-month subscription renewal if they failed to "meet someone special," without adequately disclosing the material restrictions or limitations. Additionally, Match was accused of denying access to paid-for services to consumers who disputed charges related to these practices.
The settlement requires Match to pay $14 million, which the FTC will use to provide redress to injured consumers. Match must also clearly and conspicuously disclose the terms of its "six-month guarantee," provide simple mechanisms for consumers to cancel their subscriptions, and refrain from retaliating against consumers for filing billing disputes.
In a separate development, Rascoff Spencer M., the Director and Chief Executive Officer of Match Group, recently made a significant investment in the company. On August 26, 2025, Spencer purchased 13,250 shares at a price of $37.57 per share [2]. This investment underscores Spencer's confidence in the company's future prospects.
