Spribe Wins Big in Explosive Legal Clash
Spribe has secured a major legal win against Betnacional in Brazil. The ruling has shaken the iGaming industry.
The Court of Justice of Pernambuco ordered Betnacional to stop using the “Aviator” name immediately. The platform must also remove all visuals and elements linked to the game.
This decision puts strong pressure on the operator. Daily fines will apply if it fails to comply.
What Sparked the Aviator Dispute?
The conflict centers on Aviator, one of the most popular crash games globally.
Spribe claims full ownership of the brand. The company registered the trademark in Brazil through INPI.
However, Betnacional featured a similar game under the same name. This version came from a provider called “Aviator Studio.”
Spribe argued that this was not authorized. It called the game a direct copy of its original product.
A Licensing Deal Gone Wrong
Here’s where things get more intense.
Spribe revealed that Betnacional had been an official licensee since 2022. But the disputed version did not match the agreed terms.
This move raised serious concerns. It pushed Spribe to take immediate legal action.
The court agreed with Spribe’s position. It confirmed the developer’s trademark rights.
Global Crackdown on Aviator Copycats
This case is not an isolated move.
Spribe is actively protecting its Aviator brand across multiple markets. The company has already secured a similar injunction in the UK.
It also faced legal challenges from Aviator LLC in Georgia. That dispute involved massive claims worth €330 million.
Some claims were later dropped in 2025. Still, the legal battle highlighted how valuable the Aviator brand has become.
What This Means for iGaming
This ruling sends a clear message.
Game developers are tightening control over their intellectual property. Operators can no longer take risks with branding or cloned games.
Spribe has made its stance clear. It will continue to act against any infringement.
The Aviator name now stands protected — at least for now.
