A few days ago, leading iGaming developer SPRIBE reaffirmed its pioneering role through an official announcement, introducing its popular game Aviator. Since its launch in 2018, Aviator has played a key role in the rise of mini-games, a sector that has completely transformed the iGaming industry. SPRIBE's creation has grown into a prominent product, setting a benchmark for innovation in online gaming.
SPRIBE stated that it holds the global exclusive rights to Aviator, whose intellectual property (including copyrights and trademarks) is protected worldwide. The game has now been certified in over 40 jurisdictions and has become extremely popular, attracting more than 35 million players monthly, covering over 4500 brands.
SPRIBE is known for its commitment to innovation and entertainment. With a highly skilled team, the company continues to push the boundaries of game development, offering new experiences to players worldwide. This announcement highlights SPRIBE's determination to maintain its leadership position in the ever-evolving online gaming market.
Legal Ruling
Recently, SPRIBE became the focus of a significant legal ruling in Georgia, where the court awarded Aviator LLC $330 million in damages in a case involving alleged intellectual property infringement concerning trademarks and copyrights.
Major gambling industry player Flutter Entertainment expressed surprise at the ruling and announced plans to appeal. In their statement, Flutter strongly questioned the basis and amount of the ruling, calling the compensation "excessive" and not reflective of the actual economic situation of the property involved. They insist that the claim is baseless.
Despite Flutter's objections, the court's ruling still highlights the protection of intellectual property. Last year, the Aviator game generated approximately $7.5 million in revenue in Georgia, which is at the heart of this dispute.
Neither Flutter nor Aviator LLC provided specific details on the breakdown of the compensation amounts for Flutter and SPRIBE. Flutter operates in over 20 countries, including brands such as FanDuel, Betfair, and Paddy Power. It acquired a majority stake in Adjarabet in 2019 and completed the acquisition in 2022.
