Gamers sue platform for allegedly matching them against bots without their knowledge

A class-action lawsuit filed in Texas alleges that skill-based games platform Avia Games used bots in what were supposed to be human-vs-human games.

The lawsuit follows an earlier lawsuit filed by Skillz, which accused Avia Games of directly copying its skill-based games, which feature players being able to wager money on the outcomes. These games circumvent gambling laws due to being games of skill, not chance. This contention changes if players aren’t playing against other humans. The Skillz case alleges that Avia Games is utilizing illegal gambling in its operations, and the class-action suit tacks on racketeering and fraud.
