AviaGames — the Silicon Valley-based developer of popular casino apps like Bingo Tour and Solitaire Clash — has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit that claims users were duped into playing against bots instead of similarly skilled human players.
“Avia users collectively have wagered hundreds of millions of dollars to compete in these games of ‘skill’ against what Avia says are other human users,” according to the suit filed on Friday in the US Northern District of California.
“However, as it turns out, the entire premise of Avia’s platform is false: Instead of competing against real people, Avia’s computers populate and/or control the games with computer “bots” that can impact or control the outcome of the games,” the suit alleged.
